Tricks To Manage Chronic Pain For The Longest Lasting Relief

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that involves the gentle laying of hands on or above the body to channel and transfer universal life energy. Practitioners believe that this energy promotes relaxation, balances the body’s energy, and supports the body’s natural healing abilities.

During a reiki session, the recipient typically lies fully clothed on a treatment table, while the practitioner places their hands on or above various areas of the body. The practitioner acts as a conduit for the healing energy. Reiki can be helpful for chronic pain in alleviating pain and providing a sense of comfort.

Pet Therapy

Pet therapy involves interactions between trained animals and individuals under the supervision of healthcare professionals. The presence of therapy animals, such as dogs, cats, or horses, can offer emotional support and companionship. During a session, they may engage in activities such as petting, playing, or simply spending time in the presence of the animals, which can provide emotional support, and create a positive and comforting environment for those receiving therapy.

Myofascial Release Therapy

Myofascial release therapy is a hands-on technique that targets the fascia. This is a thin and tough connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs. By applying sustained pressure and gentle stretching, myofascial release therapy aims to release tension and restrictions in the fascia, helping to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and restore optimal function in the affected areas.

During a myofascial release therapy session, the therapist will typically use their hands or specialized tools to apply sustained pressure and gentle stretching techniques on specific areas of the body affected by fascial restrictions. They will work with the client to locate and release areas of tension or adhesions in the fascia.
