Learning To Rest When In Pain

Abstract:

This article reports on the usage of a lesser-known approach - the Feldenkrais Method - in teaching people to cope with pain on movement. Even though undertaken as a small pilot study, there are lessons to be drawn in terms of the outcomes and feedback from those who received lessons in this Method. The value of incorporating the Method into a broadly based complementary therapies program, offered to those in receipt of palliative care, requires further exploration.
