Why Your Back Pain Keeps Coming Back
Resilient Mind, Calmer Back
A science-based approach to reducing pain sensitivity in chronic low back pain
A 90-minute, nurse-led workshop designed to help you understand pain differently -
without pushing, forcing, or ignoring your body
Thursday, April 2, 2026
Live on Zoom • 6:00–7:30 pm PST
Includes downloadable workbook
VALUE
If you live with chronic low back pain, you may have noticed something confusing.
You follow recommendations.
You stay active.
You try to “do all the right things.”
And yet your back still feels guarded, tense, or unpredictable.
For many women, pain persists not because they’ve failed —
but because chronic low back pain is rarely just about the spine.
Pain sensitivity is influenced by the nervous system, stress load, inflammation, past experiences, and how safe movement feels to your body.
This workshop offers science-based context — so pain makes more sense, and fear no longer drives every decision.

What You’ll Learn in This Workshop

GENTLE CLOSE
Some women find that simply understanding pain differently begins to change their relationship with their body.
Others want support applying these concepts over time.
This workshop offers clarity - - so you can decide, calmly and confidently, what support looks like next.
You don’t need to decide anything today.
Understanding is a valid first step.
