This innovative book offers a guide based on trauma-informed approaches for those seeking guidance on body-related pain management strategies. It focuses on principles of building a sense of safety, supporting empowerment, and maintaining simplicity, while following a scientific approach by offering clear and inclusive practice programs.
Trauma-Informed Yoga for Pain Management first explores the complex science of pain, including the Polyvagal Theory and the science of breathing. It also investigates why simple stretches, gentle strengthening, and mindful breathing are effective tools for pain management. Subsequently, the book provides clear ways to make any program trauma-informed.
The final section takes up half of the book and provides many handy practices, ranging from two to ninety minutes. These trauma-informed practices are designed for anyone wishing to manage pain through stretching, strengthening, and breathing. Supplementary materials are included to support any program: handouts, recordings, and many other materials.
This groundbreaking and practical guide supports people where they are, preparing everyone for success as they learn pain management strategies and healing methods.
