Mindfulness Teaching
Dr. Kevin Rod has been actively promoting and encouraging meditation for many years. He was inspired to write about the many aspects of pain and it sources, and how to manage pain on a daily basis. He has written extensively on how the mind can be your most powerful tool in overcoming daily obstacles thus helping you to be proactive in your attitude to tackle your pain mentally and spiritually.
Dr. Rod’s insight into the various methods and management of chronic pain is personal because he is a pain patient himself. This condition propelled him to create a space called MyPain.ca to illustrate various ways to recognize, manage and overcome this silent condition called: PAIN.
