Developed in collaboration with the Fraser Health Community Pain Program Team, the Ridge Meadows Wellness Centre offers interdisciplinary services for individuals living with chronic pain. This group program is offered virtually throughout the year, and in-person intermittently. We request individuals commit to attending all education sessions if they would like to participate.
The pain program consists of:
- Eight sessions of education delivered over one and a half-hour sessions, twice a week, for four weeks.
- Group education about chronic pain.
- Education on self-management skills and strategies to decrease pain and improve quality of life.
- Guided, gentle movement.
Additional chronic pain services consist of:
- Rehabilitation services (physiotherapy and occupational therapy).
- Social work support.
- Dietitian consultation.
- Access to a pain specialist for consultation (treatments available on-site).
- Pharmacist consultation for medication review and recommendations.
