Banff Pain Conference: Pain Society of Alberta

Banff Conference Centre Banff

Banff Pain Conference: Pain Society of Alberta. Join Shelly as she presents "Yoga for Persistent Pain" at the Pain Society of Alberta's 9th Annual Banff Pain Conference. Life is Now Pain Care Yoga states: "Pain is one of the most common reasons for individuals to seek assistance from medical, therapeutic and yoga practitioners. Yet, few educational systems in western or eastern health care include knowledge acquisition related to pain or to the lived experience of pain. The techniques, discipline and systems of classic yoga are well-suited for integration with pain care and pain self-management techniques. A well-rounded yoga practice, incorporating any lineage of yoga asana, is one path that individuals can follow in their recovery from chronic pain conditions."
