If you’re visiting the wonderful market in town and have any spare coins please consider donating them to PSJ. Our collecting tins will be out around the fountain from 13th November.

We’re a very small charity and every penny really does count!

Our new patron Dr Karen Kyd, the wife of His Excellency Vice Admiral Jerry Kyd CBE came along to one of our gentle exercise sessions and had an opportunity to chat to members and see how we help those with chronic pain.

If you suffer with chronic pain it’s essential you learn how to pace yourself. Take a break before you need it. Resting is not laziness, resting is one of the most important things you can do to help manage your pain.

What can you do if you have chronic pain?
Believe it or not gentle exercise can help you manage your pain. That’s why we offer a range of gentle exercise sessions, seated exercise & sea swimming because we know it works!

You can have extra fries too!

When you live with chronic pain all the time you learn to keep going because that’s your ‘new normal’.
If someone with chronic pain is complaining then they’re having a really bad day!

Pain is invisible! I may look fine, I may smile, I may be able to work, I may say ‘I’m fine’ when you ask how I am but I’m still experiencing pain.
September is Pain Awareness Month so please share our tweets and help spread the word.

What does your pain feel like?
(You can have more than one, some people have all twelve!)

What’s the difference between acute and chronic pain? Chronic pain is any pain that persists for longer than three months.
For some people chronic pain lasts for years, isn’t it amazing that they can still smile?

In Jersey there could be over 10,000 people experiencing persistent pain!
Next time your nan wants to talk about ‘her hip’, why not spend a few minutes listening, after all she spends 24 hours a day living with it!

What a thrilling tennis fortnight! Here’s to the people who dared to dream

Whatever your dreams don’t let pain stop you from trying

There’s ‘okay’ and there’s ‘okay’! If you’re really not ‘okay’ PSJ can help.
We’ll help you learn to live with a less ‘flexible definition of okay’!
