Pathway through Pain Arvostelua 

Although I'm am still yet to find the cause of my chronic pain, this course was insightful and reminded me that the road to recovery isn't always straight forward. I would recommend giving this a go, even if at times it may feel tedious, you will definitely come away with something you didn't know. Remember knowledge is power and you're better off knowing more about your own condition so you don't get overwhelmed with doctor jargon or sent down a path that does nothing for you.

Using the app gave me the focus I needed to help me see a way forward in dealing with both the psychological and the physical effects of pain.
As someone who was very physically active before my accident, I found benefit in the relaxation techniques and the advice on pacing yourself.
It’s very easy to become overwhelmed and feel like you’re never going to get better, especially during a long period of recovery, but the app was a helpful reminder that recovering from a serious injury takes time and to be gentle with yourself.
Would recommend this to anyone who is struggling with pain management and the frustrations, anxiety, feelings of hopelessness and depression that long term pain can cause.
Really great app. Glad I was given access to it.

I've saved it so I can look back when needed! I've tried these and some days they work most times they don't I still can't walk far that doesn't change it's certainly not mind over matter I can assure you however it does help and thankyou

I found this programme very helpful and informative.

This programme has made a huge difference in how I manage my pain. I have learnt how pain does not mean harm, how to pace myself and how to be kinder to myself.

Lots of useful information, presented in a way that enables you to digest it properly. Learnt some new things and it reinforced others that I already knew/did. Highly recommended for people suffering from persistent pain. It’s not a cure all program but I feel it’s designed to help you understand pain and give you ways to manage your pain and to avoid a build up of stress mentally and physically that can add to your pain levels. For example, If you learn how to relax/meditate then you mentally often have more ability to deal with pain. If you condition your body/muscles then you won’t be so tense which will lessen some pain. If you have a ‘bad’ day with your pain, I feel you learn the mindset that it’s ok, take a break, do a little, try again tomorrow. I think it holds a good philosophy that has changed my outlook of living with persistent pain.

I’m afraid that although the relaxation helps short term, the long term pain is still there and impacting on my everyday life.

Comprehensive program, however did not provide anything new that I did not already know. I felt that it was pitched too low.

Although the ideas for pain are helpful it does not take the pain away

For me it was for mental health, I don't have any mental health issues lol waist of my time

First of all the whole process was very easy to do.It was nice I could do this in my own time. The videos were easy to understand and follow. I liked the talk about the structure of a back and spine and what a protruding disc looked like and the effects this could have on you. I liked the deep breathing exercises,and the stretching exercises. I did not quite enjoy the 20 minute relaxation video. I was completing this course during my working hours so was using my work laptop which is linked to a monitor. I found it exceptionally difficult to relax in a seated position. However as a whole, i found this course helpful and beneficial and really enjoyed this programme. Well done and thank you

Didn't feel this was worthwhile.

the course wasnt very helpful as my physical health has got worse n currently trying to get tests done so didnt help me unfortunately

I think these meditative techniques are very useful but they must be accompanied by in-person physiotherapy practice, which is irreplaceable in this type of problems.

I found this very helpful, and the relaxation video’s have really helped me.

I found it impossible to do the relaxing due to pain being constantly bad..also some of the exercise are totally impossible for me .my body don't move like that I did try

I found this course brilliant and a way to look at dealing with my pain in new ways. It is designed in different steps to made it easier to take each section on board and work on it. I love the fact that it’s always available for me to log back in and remind myself of the key sections.

Very informative

Enjoyed it was explained how to control my pain with easy steps to follow and not to be too hard on myself

Very informative, lots of things explained that I never knew.The relaxation techniques are useful.
