About us

Immersive Relief is a pain management approach that has been developed by Dr Sheila Popert, a UK based Palliative Medicine consultant, and Andrew Nelson, someone with lived experience of chronic health conditions who is determined to help others benefit from a holistic approach to illness. They have drawn upon the expertise of physiotherapists and psychologists to develop the programme.

Our experience has shown that even when someone has a life-limiting illness and a huge burden of disease they can, with help, learn techniques that empower them to take control of their pain and improve their quality of life. Everyone’s pain is unique, by exploring what it means for the you and the impact it has on your life the programme can help you find ways to overcome the sense of helplessness and frustration that are often part of the pain experience.
