PACING - HOW IT WORKS

Pacing is a technique that you can use to gradually increase your level of activity.
If you have chronic pain, you might find that you have good days, when you can get on with things around the house or do something that you enjoy, and bad days, when you can do very little. As time goes on, some people find that they have fewer good days and more bad days. pacing is all about breaking this pattern and gradually increasing what you can do. It should be possible to pace any activity, although in everyday life, we are not used to doing things gradually - we like to get things done quickly. But pacing really does work!!!
Just because we hurt doesn't mean we can't achieve things and Pacing is an excellent way of achieving this and getting some structure back into your life.
Give it a try ... what have you got to lose
