This workshop is designed for individuals interested in managing their own personal pain or the pain of their family members and loved ones. We will discuss the differences between acute and chronic pain, inflammation in the body and the impact of diet. Taking into consideration personal boundaries and honoring one's body, we'll explore strategies for managing pain through hands-on practice and interactive exercises. We recommend wearing loose-fitting clothing such as shorts, tank tops, or a loose-fitting dress that exposes your skin in order to better understand your pain patterns. Participants are invited to explore intuitive touch with others with their consent or they can focus solely on themselves.

The techniques and strategies presented in this workshop are suggestions based on the personal experiences and professional knowledge of the instructor who was a former massage therapist specializing in myofascial pain, Swedish massage, deep tissue, and sports and post-surgery therapy. Participants are also invited to bring clothing and change on site at the Design Gym.

This workshop will be held on 11/09 from 12pm-4pm at the Design Gym on 7 Ramsey Street in Upham's Corner.
