Pain fact:
Memories of PAST pain experiences change the pain we feel in the present.

"A painful episode can lead to a life-long increase in one's experience of pain. Fearful anticipation of imminent pain can play a role."👇🏻

🔥Cognitions + emotions CHANGE PAIN🔥

Team 24 finish off an eventful week at Green Pastures Hospital in Pokhara having had many opportunities to connect with the hospital staff, patients, and learn about day to day practice in this corner of the world! Way to go Team 24!!

Great news! This will benefit so many people!

When we play, our brains release dopamine and endorphins, which make us feel happy and relaxed. This can have a positive impact on our mental and emotional wellbeing. So try to prioritize some playtime in your life. Your brain will thank you for it.

This recovery is helping me practice my own pacing and symptom management strategies lol #OTyourself

#Team24 enjoying a beautiful hike and some breathtaking mountain views as part of their trip! The team has now reached Pokhara and continues to build on their work from Tansen by connecting with colleagues at the Green Pastures Hospital.

Happy trails, Team!

I always find it exciting to see my name in a medical publication! Working on a patient perspective essay for this topic including more research from @Arthritis_ARC on how the pandemic has impacted us with rheumatic diseases.

Looking for a journalist to do a story about our virtual program that is helping people with #LongCovid brain fog regain function, sense of self, and some get back to work. Any recommendations?
