Living with chronic pain negatively impacts quality of life and can precipitate disengagement from everyday activities. In this 8-week program, participants will learn a variety of approaches to manage chronic pain and reengage in the important, meaningful activities of their lives. The program will be led by Richard Sabel, an occupational therapist with over 15 years of experience assisting people with chronic pain. Over time, he developed the Easy Does It Program, a fusion of movement therapies drawn from Feldenkrais, Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong, along with practical strategies to help promote feelings of self-efficacy, improve function, and one’s overall quality of life. This program is free and will be offered via Zoom. All the movements are done with minimal effort and performed gently either in sitting or standing.
