Here are some resources for self-help for pain:
Constructive Rest: the best self help strategy for pain
- Do you struggle to rest, even though you need to?
- Do you have tense muscles?
- Do you wish you had a tool to settle your back or neck pain?
Then Constructive Rest is for you!
Join the Constructive Rest Club to learn how and be supported to build this self-care habit.
Constructive Rests have been so helpful in learning how to undo muscle tension and take that ease into moving with less effort. . I’m sure my quality of sleep has improved too, as I’m now less tense at night.
