The groin and hip pain has reduced. However, she experienced pain after the last golf game; she felt slight discomfort during the game, but the pain came after she got home. We discussed overuse and repetitive movement. I suggested gentle yoga (pelvic tilt, leg up the wall/chair) and deep relaxation after the game; she usually stretches before the game. I also suggested to her that instead of playing 18 holes, she can skip some even when she does not feel pain while playing. We discussed how active meditation can help with relieving pain. She is motivated to practice meditation daily.

After meeting with the mentor, I planned the therapeutic session that addressed Vata/Pita imbalance by including standing asanas, forward bending poses and dynamic movement. I introduced Bhramari breath and explained the benefit of each breathing technique that she has learned so far: deep breathing, alternative nostril breathing, box breathing and Bhramari. I suggested to her to try them and see which one works best for her. I also explained the benefit of active meditation for pain management (training the brain).

I will conduct pain and overall well-being measurement to assess where the client is. Continuing physical practice that focuses on improving strength, flexibility and balance. I will end with a longer meditation (5 minutes).
