Mindfulness for Health Courses in Manchester

A simple 8-week mindfulness and compassion course to give you the tools and skills to live well with your chronic pain or health condition.

Chronic pain and ill-health can feel unbearable, debilitating, and unfair. Many people at the beginning of these courses say their life feels completely overshadowed by their pain and illness.

Clinical trials have shown that mindfulness meditation can be as effective as prescription painkillers, and can enhance the body’s natural healing systems. Mindfulness can also reduce the anxiety, depression, irritability, exhaustion, and insomnia that arises from chronic pain and illness.

Due to ongoing concerns about COVID-19, some of the Mindfulness for Health courses has been cancelled. If you still wish to attend the course, we have a number of dates for Group Online Mindfulness for Health courses as an alternative for face-to-face courses.
