In modern society, chronic pain has become a part of many people's daily lives, significantly affecting routines and overall well-being. Chronic pain may arise from work-related stress, long-term health conditions, or other factors, often causing persistent discomfort that impacts not only physical health but also emotional and mental wellness over time.
During the workshop, participants will learn how to relieve pain through lifestyle adjustments, improved nutrition, and appropriate physical activity, while also practicing simple and effective relaxation techniques. Additional topics include sleep management, emotional support, and medication use, helping participants maintain physical and mental balance and develop sustainable, proactive pain management skills for daily life.
