11 - Pain 101 - Handling Holiday Stress Striving to Thriving

    • Medicine

I'm taking a break from the "Movement" series to address handling and minimizing stress during the holiday season offering some suggestions for making this season less painful for those struggling with chronic pain. Simply put, stress and anxiety increases physical pain. We see a great deal more pain during this season because of stress, cold weather changes and the feeling the need to "do more" which with friends and family arriving. I close with a personal story about giving of ourselves.

Be well and be blessed, David
