Dealing with chronic pain resulting from either an illness or an accident, can feel very debilitating and limiting. The constant ache can leave you feeling depressed and uncomfortable more often than you feel energized and well.

The treatment can either be self-administered or you can make an appointment with an EFT expert. Many of them work over the phone or via Skype and you don’t necessarily need to make a clinical appointment or visit them in their home or office to receive the benefits.
Self-treatment of back pain or muscular or body pain only requires the basic knowledge of the techniques. This is a very economical and empowering way to help work through pain. Tapping participants find problematic feelings and thoughts that are in their minds and develop and recite positive affirmations in response to these emotional blockages.
As they are working through the set-up statement discerning the issue to be worked on and the subsequent affirmations, they gently tap on certain acupuncture or acupressure points.
