Reducing Pain

The body reacts to inflammation by making us aware of the area that has been compromised. In doing this it creates 'pain' to which we react. How we react to pain and inflammation is individual to each of us. As each of us is unique we cannot expect that there is a standard magic pill that is going to work for all of us the same way. 
​There are some simple techniques that you can do yourself to help on a day to day basis, as well as learning the BodyTalk Access routine to help with overall health and well being. BodyTalk Access courses are held regularly at Slievenamon Holistic Therapy. ​

First Response

Normally our first response to pain is to acknowledge it and possibly allow the injured area to rest for a while. Sometimes this is enough to allow the body to reduce the inflammation and return to 'normal'. More often life gets in the way and we continue on not allowing ourselves to have the space and time to heal. Sadly this is a condition of modern life and the fast pace at which we now live and the stresses that are taken as part of the daily norm.

Step 2

We then resort to anti-inflammatory drugs, deep heat type rubs - looking for a quick solution to the issue. If these do not work after a few weeks and the pain starts to get in the way of our lives, we may resort to going to see a doctor. They end up prescribing a stronger form of pain relief, which works for a while but due to demands we still do not take the time to look at the bigger picture.

Long Term

The usual thing is to end up 'just living with it' getting on as best you can, which just adds to the stress that the body is under.

The Solution ...

The solution ideally starts even before the injury by giving yourself the tools to help reduce stress in your life. The techniques are extremely simple and effective. Creating the opportunity to allow the body to go from sympathetic 'flight/flight' reaction to parasympathetic, rest, relax and restore. This can be done by learning the BodyTalk Access routine alongside other techniques taught here at Slievenamon Holistic Therapy.
