Pathway through Pain Anmeldelser 

I am very pleased that the relaxation and meditation sections are still available to action. I felt that they were too quickly incorporated.They are something that I haven’t tried before this programme and I now want to keep up.
The exercises are very well actioned.

No comment.
It just wasn’t that helpful for me personally.

I found this very helpful for chronic pain and easy to follow guidance videos. I have put alot to practice..I do have to work on the meditation side of things but im sure with practice I will get there.

Not sure this was the correct pathway for me considering all the chronic issues I have and experienced for so long after nerve ablation, spinal blocks, physio, ice therapy, and yet my MRI and X-rays recently revealed the deterioration of arthrosis, cervical spondylitis, spina bifida occulta, left hip dysplasia, right knee replacement after 20 years causing issues aswell as arthrofibrosis
Lag in left lower leg from lateral cruciate ligament

It would be nice if I could have glass of wine to relax but on pain medication it’s no no.and going in the garden or beach to sun bath is not good for skin and having a fag is definitely not good you I think these should taken out

I wouldn't refer to this course as a pathway through pain, but it is an insight into pain. Most long-term pain sufferers have already been through most of these steps in order to relieve some of it themselves. Most have started with physio, and have tried various pain medications before being sent on this course, which feels like you are being told some of it is all in your head. I've given it 3/5 simply because some people may get some use out of the coping mechanisms used, such as calming techniques when you get angry at the world or yourself, or the understanding that you are not the only one in this position.

Nothing went wrong,all the doctors were lovely,just didn't help my pain atall I'm afraid

It’s been good to be able to do the course at my own speed, I enjoyed the meditations but as I’ve struggled for at least four years with the pain I am struggling with the idea that the course will overcome everything and all will be well but I’m going to try.

The exercises are useful but, I cannot do meditation sessions very well. Cannot relax. The chronic pain would have been okay if chronic daily headache was included as well as back pain.

I think this is a great way to help with pain management if you haven't tried any self help. For me, i have tried all of these methods before, so was quite disappointed that there wasn't any new ideas or developments.

I thought Charles was very articulate in explaining the various subjects he discussed.Wish he was my doctor!!
Overall the course helped me to understand that pain cant always be cured and the best that I can hope for is to manage my own pain as best as I can.

It's was all for back pain and I don't have back pain

some of the information was very helpful & have implemented them into my daily routine'.

Sorry,it did nothing for me.

All the videos were well made and easy to understand. I totally get the excercise programs to help with pain also the positive mindset.
Meditation and relaxation don’t really work for me. But overall a worthwhile experience.

All exercises etc seemed to be for people with back pain. I don’t have back pain so it didn’t really help me much

Easy listening .very interesting

I found it boring unhelpful and videos had droney voices didn't help me at all intact if I followed advice could make my pain worse

Some good advice and exercises, only managed a few sessions but enjoyed them

It was easy to follow & the ability to go back in to use relaxation is good
