What we do 

Occupational Therapists work with individuals to help them find the most effective ways to manage their pain and to address the impact pain has on their day-to-day activities and roles within their life. This can be achieved by learning how to use pacing, goal setting and relaxation techniques to address difficulties in the following areas:

• Inconsistent activity levels
• Leisure and social activities
• Work issues
• Sleep problems
• Personal and domestic activities

The Occupational Therapists work as part of a team of professionals, experienced and skilled in teaching individuals how to adopt a holistic self-management approach to their pain problem.

Where we are 

We are based in the multi-disciplinary pain clinic within the out-patient department at York Hospital.

We offer occupational therapy intervention both an individual basis and within a group environment in the pain management programmes.
