Port Moody Public Library is partnering with Fraser Health to provide a free six-week workshop in chronic pain self management, chronic pain and diabetes.
The program will run on Saturdays from April 14 to May 26 (no program May 19) from 1:30 to 4 p.m. in the ParkLane Room.
This program is targeted to adults experiencing chronic musculoskeletal pain (such as chronic neck, shoulder, or back) and is also for those who suffer from whiplash injuries, chronic regional pain syndromes, repetitive strain injury, chronic pelvic pain and post-stroke and central pain. The program may also be appropriate for those with conditions such as persistent headache, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes with neuropathy, and for individuals who have severe muscular pain due to conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
Facilitator Carol Sicoli is responsible for co-ordinating self-management programs in the Fraser Health (North) area.
Space is limited for this free program. Call 604-469-4577 to register.
Port Moody Public Library is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m.
