Course testimonial

This course so far has given me a solid framework for helping clients manage chronic pain. I am so glad that I have stuck with the course. I have done pain webinars in the past which weren’t helpful. They focussed more on the way the client might feel rather than solutions. I feel enthusiastic and I know that I now have a workable tool kit for chronic pain clients. I use much of these tools in my practice already. This gives me structure for chronic pain clients.
