Explore Mindfulness in Pain and Stress Management in New Ways

Explore mindfulness in the rehabilitation setting for both patients and clinicians.

It’s time to help you and your patients exchange mind full-ness with mindfulness. In our brand new programme of courses Shrey Vazir will show you how you can achieve this by using the latest evidence from the fields of psychology and neuroscience.

With advances in neuroscience research, mindfulness has been found to be a safe, non-pharmacological management option for patients with chronic conditions, such as persistent pain. Mindfulness interventions not only reduce pain but also reduce stress, depression and anxiety. Mindfulness training has also emerged as a practical self-care tool for health care professionals to build resilience, compassion and empathy while preventing professional burnout.

The Courses

An Introduction to Mindfulness in Stress and Pain Management
Introduction to mindfulness course advert with an image of a person meditating on the beach with a sunsetMy mind is like my internet browser – 19 tabs open, three of them are frozen and I have no idea where the music is coming from. How often does this describe our daily lives, with our minds too full, engaged in too many different things to focus on what is happening right here, right now?

Exchange “mind full-ness” with “mindfulness”

Many studies have identified consistent neural changes in the brain following mindfulness practice and noted a number of benefits, including pain reduction. Through the wonder of neuroplasticity, mindfulness has been shown to have a direct impact on our physiology and our psychology, resulting in a calmer and more accepting disposition towards pain and life itself.

Mindfulness for Our Patients – Practical Applications

Focusing our attention on the person rather than on the tissues has caused a shift in treatment from a single-minded focus on eliminating pain to the much bigger goal of improving quality of life and enabling patients to re-engage in life roles that are meaningful to them.

Mindfulness for Clinicians

Healthcare professionals are repeatedly exposed to complex situations in their daily tasks, which are often closely related to the pain and suffering of the patients they attend. Continual high levels of stress will ultimately lead to anxiety, depression, compassion-fatigue, burnout and an inability to provide proper care to patients.
