When we are "in pain", or even anticipating pain, our muscles and our body tense up - this muscle tension makes any actual discomfort worse than it should be - a relaxed muscle and relaxed body will experience much less discomfort.

In hypnosis, we release our natural endorphins (or feel good hormones) which are our bodies natural painkillers.

Advanced hypnotherapy techniques have been used to create a pain free state and lessen discomfort by relaxing the whole body and muscle groups and preparing the mind in a positive rather than negative way. Therefore eliminating the need for drugs and painkillers (and all their side effects).

Hypnosis has successfully enabled dentistry and major surgery to be carried out (including heart bypass operations, mastectomy and amputations) WITHOUT any anaesthesia.(1)

For pain control, self hypnosis and various techniques are taught so that you have control over your pain and manage it better. Up to 5 sessions are needed.

It is achievable and once taught a valuable skill for life.

The techniques are similar to the ones described on the pages about Natural Birth.
