Professor Deepak Ravindran’s “A New Way Forward With Pain” Masterclass
Thank you to the 200 people who attended our pain masterclass last Saturday. It was delivered by Professor Deepak Ravindran at the Centre with founder and trustee John Holt and members of the Therapy Centre team.
Prof Ravindran - who works as Director of Lifestyle Medicine and Pain Medicine at the Reading Central Primary Care Network and Honorary Professor at Teesside University - explained the three different types of pain, and how latest research has uncovered the evidence for and importance of everyday lifestyle choices in the control of pain without relying solely on drugs whose effectiveness may be short-term and which may have unwelcome side effects. Gentle levels of activity, giving up smoking, reducing alcohol intakes, improving diet, managing stress and maintaining social contacts have all been proven to significantly help people reduce or cope with pain.
