We have some exciting news!
We are highly honoured to be HIGHLY COMMENDED at the HSJ Patient Safety Awards for our work with pain cafes and opioid deprescribing in conjunction with NHS England / Health Innovations SouthWest. We celebrated with Cornwall & Devon Pain Cafes and over a thousand finalists.

Supporting people through holistic chronic pain support is at the heart of what we do. Having this recognised on a national stage means the world to us. Thank you to our team and community!

“Does this sound like you?”

💗 Want to exercise, but don't know where to start?

You know movement might help, but...

😟 You're worried about pain or injury
🪫 Fatigue makes mainstream classes feel impossible
🦓 Your health conditions need adaptations
🛏️ Some days, getting out of bed is an achievement
😔 You've tried exercise before and felt like you couldn't keep up
🤷‍♀️ Nobody has ever really taught you how to exercise safely with your body

We're trying to secure funding for Moving Beyond Barriers, a FREE online beginners programme designed for people living with chronic illness who are currently inactive or doing very little physical activity.

But first, we need to show that people actually want it.

If you'd like to take part if we secure funding, please join our waiting list by completing the form here:

No commitment. You're just saying: “Yes. Something like this would help me.”

🙏

Morning all, how are you after your weekend? I took my youngest to Uni for her first days, a drive of around 650 miles return including lots of heavy traffic.
I knew I would be tired and sore today but luckily I can fall back on my 'pain toolkit', a series of things to help me through the tough days. I've planned to have a little mindful walk later and allow myself to feel whatever emotion comes.
I also have some voltarol gel and a mini massager for my back and legs.
What's in your toolkit? Let's talk about that in a future pain cafe too.
