Abstract
There is a compelling link between chronic pain, stress, emotions, memory and the fascial system which warrants further investigation. This study explored if HeartSpeak, a new mindbody intervention, should be considered for management of chronic pain. In this prospective, uncontrolled pilot study, HeartSpeak, which seems to release emotional memories stored in the body, was applied in the context of a yoga / movement class for those suffering from chronic pain. Pain scores were recorded before and after each fortnightly class for 6 months. Over the 12 classes, 96 people participated, the mean pre-class NPRS was 5.5 (SD=2.3), and the mean post-class NPRS was 2.9 (SD=2.7), which difference reached statistical significance (p<0.01). These results suggest that HeartSpeak may be useful in reducing chronic pain levels, however caution is urged in interpreting these results until more research is completed.
