About Alison Bale

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile. Have you been in pain for a while, and nothing seems to be helping? Maybe you have found some therapies work, but you want to do more to support yourself? Has your pain stopped you doing the things that make your life worthwhile? Perhaps you are experiencing increased stress with the pain? Or anxiety about your future and how you will cope? And maybe some frustration about the lack of answers and support? You might say yes to- Angry - Anxious - Confused - Depressed - all of the above. If so, you are in good company. More than 30 per cent of men and women experience persistent pain. And 40 per cent of people with persistent pain experience some mental health consequences – including anxiety, depression, increased stress, anger and exhaustion. I have spent 20 years working with people in persistent pain. This experience has taught me that- There is not always an obvious cause - Tests and scans can be inconclusive (and sometimes unhelpful)- Even if you have a diagnosis, it may not be clear what you should do next - What works for one person may not work for you. With my own chiropractic clinic, I began to sense that addressing the physical issues was not enough. Pain has biological, psychological and social components. Giving you a way to master the mental health aspects, is an important part of the healing. I offer courses, workshops and one to one teaching. I draw on pain science, and the wisdom of mindfulness, to help you craft your personal solution. You get to- Understand your own mind and how it can help or hinder your recovery - Learn how to direct your energy and attention to the things you can change - Boost your mood in the present, regardless of circumstances - Gain confidence that there are things you can do to help yourself - Find ways to relax and destress, whenever you need them - Get back to doing the things that are meaningful for you.
