More than 53 million Americans have surgery per year. Over 50{3c5d7bedb8d9424d4863845e562599bee79a2158b23e861254be5a91361680b4} of surgery patients have inadequate pain control, even though most of them receive pain medication. The most common reason for readmission to the hospital or for admission after surgery is Pain.

Studies show that people who are prepared for surgery heal faster, have less pain, recover quicker, experience fewer complications and reduced stress, and require less prescription medication.  Adequately prepared people also experience fewer side effects of radiation therapy and chemotherapy.  It is not too late to receive the same benefits of pre-surgery preparations after surgery.

Mind-Body surgery-preparatory and post-operative therapies are available at The Lasting Pain Relief Center (LPR).  These choices include Myofascial Release (MFR), Reiki, NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) and A Breath of Life.  In some cases, they can eliminate the need for surgery.  MFR, a state-of-the-art therapy, releases tightness and pain in and around the body part that needs or has had surgery.  It also increases flexibility and range of motion. Reiki is a highly-effective touch therapy that enhances the healing process by creating a relaxation response and reducing anxiety, pain, nausea and fatigue.  The immune system is also boosted and increases wellbeing.  NKT therapy preprograms how dysfunctional body movement and erases compensation patterns. The Breath of Life program focuses on reducing mental and physical stress through breathing exercises, visualization, meditation, releasing stress and negative emotions.  A calm and relaxed mind and body are the results.

Yoga, A Breath Away, Healing Circle, and Gong Bath.

 These therapies can also prevent the need for some surgeries.
