This program combines eastern practices of meditation and exercise, with a western understanding of stress and its effect on physical and mental health. Research has demonstrated its effectiveness in many chronic health conditions, including chronic pain. Patients meet weekly over the course of nine weeks. They learn a variety of meditation practices focused on developing skills in moment-to-moment, non-judgmental awareness of their experiences in life. Patients who engage fully in the program are likely to experience reduced levels of pain and emotional distress, increased activity levels and enhanced self-esteem by the end of the program. There is a small fee associated with this program.
