Course overview

Prolonged and ongoing pain serves no useful purpose and can trigger other physical and emotional problems, whilst long-term usage of medication can make the underlying problem worse. This course introduces positive and beneficial holistic Pain Management treatments, to release the body’s own natural painkillers and assist that person to regain control. This course is designed for both self-help and for additional techniques for the therapist.
