In having the discussion with your healthcare provider, it is very important that you share with them some of your prior health issues as your healthcare provider may not be aware of all your health issues or easily found in your chart.

As a minimum precaution, you should have your pulse and blood pressure checked and it would be great to be able to take a basic stress or fitness test to help determine your current physical status. In addition, you should make a basic exercise plan and review it with your healthcare provider for potential feedback as you seek your healthcare provider’s approval for the program you have in mind.

As you begin to consider a plan, think as much about the duration and frequency as you do about the actual activity. One can do the same activity for 10 minutes or 20 minutes or do two different sessions of 10 minutes each. If you are considering walking as your exercise, the options are unlimited as you can walk some every day, you can walk longer every other day, or you can walk fast one day and more slowly another. You can also walk on flat ground or on slopes, hills that are gentle rises or steeper inclines. Discussing with your healthcare provider the desire to do a walking regime can mean different things depending on the approach used.

Can Hypnosis Help to Eliminate Pain?

Friday, June 29th, 2007

Pain is a subject that touches everyone. There are headaches, dental procedures, sports injuries, broken bones, soft-tissue injuries, and psychosomatic pain.

Approximately 40 million Americans suffer from arthritis pain and as many as 45 million suffer from chronic, recurring headaches. Most people respond to pain - whether acute or chronic - by taking drugs of some kind. What few people realize is that the ancient art of Hypnosis offers a safe, effective alternative for reducing sensitivity to pain.

Hypnosis has been shown effective in the management of various types of pain. Studies show that patients with chronic diseases require fewer painkillers to achieve pain relief when they practice hypnosis. The most effective approach for acute pain appears to be the use of hypnotic suggestions focusing on anxiety reduction and minimizing the importance of the pain. For chronic pain, it is more effective to confront the pain directly under hypnosis, dealing with both the pain’s physical and psychological effects. As a safe, effective alternative for reducing sensitivity to pain, hypnosis is second to none.
