Chronic Pain Group
We offer group sessions for patients experiencing Chronic pain. These are led by GP and Health coaches in the network and cover education, understanding the biological and cognitive mechanisms of pain and provide a safe space to talk about challenging issues around living with pain. Your pain is very real and we understand this. The good news is that you are not alone. Learn to understand pain and listen to stories from people with decades of experience living with pain who are now living fulfilled lives.
The pain café is lead by Lee Vaughan with the support of medical experts and GP’s across the network, you can read his own story here.
Take a look below at some of the feedback we have had from previous attendees to our pain café.
“It’s a comfortable place to be at the pain café, it’s also inspiring to hear how others deal with their constant pain and allows other doors to open in your own struggle with pain, mentally and physically”.
