We’ve been invited to present a paper in April about our work here in Hillsboro with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and a model of Medicine called Participatory Medicine. The paper is based the research we did here from 2007 to 2011. My research colleague Dr. Michael Christopher at Pacific University and I will present the paper. There is a Hillsboro Argus article about this research and work last year in partnership with our MBSR teaching intern Zeynep Sunbay-Bilgen (see Zeynep and me presenting a paper about our work last year in the picture above.). Our clinical research summary generally describes the work and results we have found in our research here.
Here is information about the conference presentations and programs. You will find our paper listed as one of the Friday Morning sessions in the Conference Brochure. Come to the conference!
More about all this later on when I’ll post information about a project with local doctors, therapists and MBSR alumni helping write a paper to be published soon in the Journal of Participatory Medicine.
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons for medical visits. Marie will work with you for four weeks in a row to help you learn to care for yourself and to help keep your back stronger, more pliable, more durable and more pain free. Properly adapted therapeutic yoga practice has been shown effective in helping folks with low back pain in a number of medical studies. Read articles from these medical journals: Annals of Internal Medicine, Pain, Spine.
