Recover from chronic pain: Sue, an NHS professional contacted me to help her with a chronic pain condition

Sue, an NHS professional contacted me to help her recover from a chronic pain condition, Polymyalgia Rheuamatic (PMR). PMR can be a debilitating condition causing muscle pain and limitation of movement and function. Sue found benefit from prescription steroid medication. Yet she stiff suffered continuous pain and aches in her shoulders and spine. Working together, Sue became to undertsand and realise how that she had ‘forgotten’ how to move and after 2 sessions found how to move well.

“Whilst my polymyalgia rheumatica was “in remission”, I continued to experience pain and discomfort especially turning in bed or removing clothing”. Chronic pain becomes part of your life and you “have to get on with it”. This did not mean it is right, it is just how it was…..

I found Nick’s website on Google and liked what I saw

With his coaching and guidance I have been able to challenge my thoughts and feelings with regard to pain and now understand that I do not have to accept and “get on with it”.

Nick has helped me recover from chronic pain

Apart from occasional stiffness, I am pain free and can turn in bed and get dressed and undressed with ease. All things that I had previously taken for granted. I am ready now to tackle my next goal: getting fitter and losing weight.”
