Cover of Simon's book "Taking Control of Your Pain"

Simon has published a book on pain management

Simon’s book is aimed at those of you who suffer from long standing pain. This includes those of you who feel their pain experience has not been resolved or managed in a satisfactory way; who feel that in the absence of a clearly defined diagnosis they have been left in limbo feeling helpless and hopeless.

The book will also take you on a learning journey to show you how you can change your views about your pain experience. At the same time, it will show you ways to identify the potential drivers of your pain pushing you towards a chronic state. It will help you identify those barriers that hinder the body’s inherent capacity to heal itself. It will help you take control of your pain.
