To prepare for any chronic pain coping technique, it is important to learn how to use focus and deep breathing to relax the body. Learning to relax takes practice, especially when you are in pain, but it is definitely worth it to be able to release muscle tension throughout the body and start to remove attention from the pain.

Coping techniques for chronic pain begin with controlled deep breathing, as follows:

• Try putting yourself in a relaxed, reclining position in a dark room. Either shut your eyes or focus on a point.
• Then begin to slow down your breathing. Breathe deeply, using your chest. If you find your mind wandering or you are distracted, then think of a word, such as the word “Relax”, and think it in time with your breathing…the syllable “re” as you breathe in and “lax” as you breathe out.
• Continue with about 2 to 3 minutes of controlled breathing.
• Once you feel yourself slowing down, you can begin to use imagery techniques.
• This is a favorite technique for demonstrating how powerfully the mind can alter sensations in the body. Focus your attention on any specific non-painful part of the body (hand, foot, etc.) and alter sensation in that part of the body. For example, imagine your hand warming up. This will take the mind away from focusing on the source of your pain, such as your back pain.
