## What this page said

The page said studies show that mind/body techniques can improve health and well-being for people with chronic illness, including chronic pain and chronic fatigue syndrome, and that people with daily pain for over three months, or with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome, could benefit.

It said the service would help patients identify factors that contribute to symptoms, reduce the intensity or frequency of pain and fatigue, accept and cope with chronic conditions and regain a sense of control. It was offered to complement medical treatment through individual counselling with a psychologist and, or, participation in the weekly Symptom Reduction program.

## Key points from the original
