@skier That would be a big YES! PRC teaches a multitude of coping mechanisms from learning how to properly breathe and relax through bio feedback sessions, imagery, daily morning stretches, therapeutic physical therapy and cardio sessions on a recumbent bike to promote safe physical activity and produce endorphins naturally to the brain. Occupational therapy sessions teach you how to work smarter, not harder with your body. Nutrition is covered as to understand the foods that help, not provoke CSS. Last but not least, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I can not say enough about these daily sessions. They were most helpful to explore self care, acceptance, anger, depression, dependency, anxiety, stress management/reducers, difficult day planning, scheduling, problem solving, habits and behaviors. And of course the scientific and medical teachings of central sensitization and chronic pain, by Dr. Sletten, was invaluable.

Thanks Rachel for your detailed comments about the program, very informative. I'm trying to get accepted for the PRP.

Does one have to be diagnosed as having CSS before being admitted into the program?

thanks again.
