Time to Turn the Tables: Creative Pain Management

I’m noticing a growing interest in self-care. It seems more and more people are taking their health into their own hands. Perhaps it’s a result of the increase in positive media coverage regarding natural health care benefits, or the rising cost of western medicine, or the economic environment, unwelcome side-effects of allopathic approaches, or the failure of conventional medicine’s promise to cure people’s ills. Maybe all of the above?

I’m also seeing an increase of complaints regarding foot pain and headaches. Leads me to wonder if both are somehow related to the stress of living in a tough economic time. Headaches for sure. And the feet – well, those trusty servants carry both our body’s weight and our identity every day of our lengthy existence here on earth. They provide a foundation upon which we “take a stand”, and allow us to move forward in life. If we fear for our future – or our present – then yes, there is a relationship.

These thoughts lead me to offer two new classes this month that I think can serve both the general public and therapists looking for ways to help more people.
