"Much needed course"

I was feeling very overwhelmed, in my workplace as well as my home life.

I became very anxious, tearful, sometimes angry and quite low.

I spoke to my doctor, who then referred me to CMP (condition management programme). I had a phone call with 1 of the therapists, answered a few questions about how I was feeling etc.  I was then booked onto the programme which involved an 8 -12 week course, with one of CMPs therapists, as well as seeing a physiotherapist.

I feel I was given the tools to help me to deal with stress, both physically and mentally. To know the triggers and how to overcome certain situations and deal with things in a more calmer way through breathing exercises, as well as physical exercises.

My sessions with the Physio helped with the physical pain I carried when stressed.  I learnt through gentle exercises, how to strengthen muscles that caused me pain and affected my movement.  I try to implement techniques learned from both therapists.  I felt stronger, both emotionally and physically, when I completed the course.

I am very thankful, that I had the opportunity to avail myself of this much needed course.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs it.
