Airing Pain

Pain Education Classes – Learn to live well with pain  “A life-changing experience” – Lindsay McLean, Airing Pain #150 This episode of Airing Pain explores the transformative impacts of pain education classes. Featuring excerpts from a live education session, here we look at how a brief, free course—delivered by trained volunteers with lived experience—is empowering people to navigate life with chronic pain.   Listen to hear how patients are learning more about their pain and the toolbox of techniques available to manage it.  These sessions are the result of a unique collaboration between Pain Concern and the NHS. They are available both online and in person (in Glasgow, run by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s pain management team). Find out more in ‘Additional Resources’ below.  “[The sessions] offer hope”  “If you can learn to turn the volume of pain down, you can bring back joy and an ability to participate in life”  “Now I’m in control of the pain instead of the pain being in control of me”  Wat
