"Chronic Pain and Illnesses and the Impact of the Physical Environment"

Are you stumped at times about how to address a client's chronic pain in a consultation?  This CD will address a new and growing discipline called Ergonomics and Psychosocial Factors.  New research available suggests that personality may play a role in one's susceptibility to lower back disorder risk factors.  Connie Spruill has teamed up with Dr. Susan Shockey of Ohio State University to share research in this new field and how it addresses muscular and skeletal issues and chronic pain.  They will point out the complex relations between psychosocial ergonomics, work demands and individual parameters, i.e., gender and personality, and how all affect an individual's response to pain.  This knowledge can bring a whole new perspective to your feng shui recommendations.
