The Lissim Pain Foundation was set up in 2008 to help people suffering pain by promoting the teaching and use of the unique Lissim self-help pain relief technique. Lissim's light touch is non-invasive and non-manipulative, making it safe for most people. It is easy to learn - most people can use it effectively after just one or two sessions. With regular use it can ease even widespread or chronic pain caused by a wide range of conditions. It does not claim to cure underlying dysfunction. Lissim is also available in the form of treatments. All Lissim instruction and treatments are provided by fully qualified and insured Lissim teachers registered with the Lissim Pain Foundation. The UK's first Lissim clinic now operates in central Edinburgh. Lissim teachers can also offer short workshops to staff in their workplace.
