Carol's Story

Our Occupational Therapist, Wendy Greene, has created a video to help you with tips on how to deal with pain flare ups.

A five minute video explaining why pain becomes persistent. 

The pain team at Torbay have produced some great online videos to introduce Tai Chi (and other exercise options). 

Mental health problems can come with physical aches, pains and symptoms that can make life very difficult. They can go undiagnosed and untreated for a long time, with people getting caught up in a cycle of tests and appointments. Around 1 in 5 GP appointments are for a symptom that shows no results in a test.

The chartered Society of Physiotherapy have produced this video for falls prevention. 

This video discusses why opioids are no longer recommended for chronic non-cancer pain. 

This is a great, easy to follow video about chronic pain. It helps you understand what current research has been saying about chronic pain - thats its not a joint or muscle problem, rather a 're-wiring' of the brain perception of itself. 

Why do we hurt? Do we actually experience pain, or is it merely illusion? In this video, Lorimer Moseley explores these questions, and position the pain that we feel as our bodies' way of protecting us from damaging tissues further. He also looks at what this might mean for those who suffer from chronic pain.
