How it works
Reduces pain catastrophising and the default mode network activity that amplifies chronic pain perception. Increases pain acceptance and reduces suffering beyond the sensory pain itself.
The 8-week MBSR course is time-intensive. Shorter programmes show smaller effects. Most effective when combined with exercise and CBT as part of multidisciplinary management.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
