Course was good although in my opinion if there were more holistic remedies given in section 9; dealing with the different pain conditions the course I would have given the course a 5. There was more conventional medicine remedies then there were holistic remedies, as far a medication. Herbal remedies, aromatherapy, homeopathy, etc should have been included in section 9.
By Nicole Trahan on 12/13/2023
This class is very interesting and informative. I am learning so much about the different types of pain and the way our bodies react to it. You also receive an informative e-book which you can use as you navigate the course. I highly recommend this course to anyone who want to understand the true mechanisms of pain and how this affects us.
By Susan Polden on 9/13/2023
It will truly help me to manage my conditions much better but also enable me to advise others hoe to cope with pain. There are are many helpful and wonderful modalities and techniques some of which I already use but now I have gained further insight to other ways of reducing pain. These are tools which I can incorporate into my daily routines; for example walking medication, food appreciation and gentle exercises such as Chair Yoga or Chi Gung. I need to undergo more relaxation techniques. I need to learn more about CBT, Acupressure and MBT; plus more specific knowledge of Rheumatoid Arthritis
By Tianna Rogers on 9/8/2023
