Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Our virtual group program teaches patients how to use mindfulness practices to cope with pain.
What we do
Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is a meditation therapy that can reduce stress and help you manage pain.
What to expect
Our Pain Management team offers an online MBSR group program that meets once a week for nine weeks. Each session is three hours long and is led by a physician and nurse practitioner trained in MBSR for pain management.
The program also includes one virtual six-hour retreat. Sessions cover mindfulness and stress management concepts, guided meditation and group discussion.
After completing any MBSR program for pain, you are welcome to join an ongoing monthly meditation group at Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital. Graduates are added to the mailing list automatically.
