Update PODCAST from Pete and NEWS about the New versions of the Pain Toolkit for 2023

What is different about these five skills to the usual Pain Toolkit 12 Tools?

Over the past 15 plus years I have been asking other self-managers like myself who have used the Pain Toolkit, what are the 5 key skills they used the most to self-manage their pain and these 5 Key Skills kept being mentioned so I asked around if others liked them and would it be useful to write a separate Pain Toolkit highlighting them and the overwhelming answer was yes.

Here are the 5 Key pain self-management skills:

• Goal setting, 
• Pacing daily activities, 
• Problem solving, 
• Meaningful movement, 
• Having a setback plan. 

The Pain Toolkit is yours and theirs go-to resource for learning more about self-managing pain.

These five basic self-management skills will help people develop a personalised plan to manage their pain and improve their quality of life.

By using the self-management skills, people will be able to set achievable goals, pace their activities to avoid over-doing, problem solve obstacles that may arise, use meaningful movement to promote active and mental well-being, and prepare for setbacks with a solid plan.

Our digital patient booklets also provide practical tools and resources can help you and patients have a better understanding pain and manage their symptoms more effectively. 

We are confident that the Pain Toolkit online course will be a valuable resource in your journey towards supporting patients to manage their pain/ fatigue, so they are regaining control and getting themselves back in their driving seat.

Remember, the Pain Toolkit is always here to support you and your patients every step of the way.
