Local Business Launches New Rehabilitation Programme for People With Pain

1 in 5 people experiences moderate to severe long-term pain. 1 in 3 people with pain struggle to maintain an independent lifestyle Long-term pain increases the risk of you losing your job seven fold

(PRWEB) February 27, 2005 -- Dealing with long-term pain is like many other situations in life, in that it involves finding the right balance between activities, thoughts and feelings. Seeking that balance is vital in any coping situation and it usually takes a variety of tools and techniques to achieve.

PainConsultants helps people with long-term pain to rehabilitate. Based in Great Missenden, they provide one-to-one consultations and group rehabilitation programmes for people who wish to learn how to manage their pain. A range of strategies is employed, with the overall aim being to help people improve their quality of life at home, work and during leisure.

Employers and the government are increasingly concerned about the impact of long-term disability on individuals and the economy. This week, yet another White Paper has highlighted the number of people joining the ranks of the long-term disabled on incapacity benefit. Early interventions, such as PainConsultants rehabilitation programmes, have been shown to be a cost-effective way of helping people with long-term pain to stay at or return to work.
