Festival of Social Science 2025: Movement Snacks for Wellbeing and Pain Management (Public)
Public lectures / seminars
Event details
This event is part of Coventry University's Festival of Social Science 2025.
A movement snack is a short session of movement, designed to be easily accessible and encourage even small amounts of gentle movement during the day. These snacks are based on ‘somatic practices’ or activities that bring awareness to your body and mind. They are designed especially for those living with chronic pain, or working with them. It may also be suitable for those with reduced mobility, lack of access to in person activities, or working online.
This lunchtime movement snack will break up the day with some gentle, accessible exercise and a chance to learn about moving with pain and to experience somatic practices. These snacks are also an ideal introduction to the Somatic Practice and Chronic Pain Network for people with chronic pain, dance and somatic practitioners, healthcare professionals and carers.
Our facilitators are comprised of dance artists, healthcare professionals, researchers and people living with chronic pain.
Who's leading the event?
Dr Emma Meehan from the Centre for Dance Research
Who's it for?
Anyone - especially people living with chronic pain, dance artists, social prescribers and healthcare workers. We will have a BSL interpreter helping facilitate the session.
