Support Our Research Campaign for Somatoform Pain Disorder Treatment

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We are excited to announce an important fundraising campaign dedicated to a groundbreaking research aimed at exploring interdisciplinary treatment approaches for patients suffering from somatoform pain disorder, now recognised as bodily distress disorder.

Understanding the Challenge

Bodily distress disorder presents a unique challenge in healthcare. Patients often experience real and debilitating pain without a clear organic cause, influenced by emotional and psychological factors. This complexity requires a holistic treatment strategy, integrating both physical and psychological care.

Our Approach

Our research collaboration seeks to combine the strengths of osteopathy and psychological therapy to develop a comprehensive treatment model. Osteopathy focuses on manual therapy and treating the body as a whole, while psychological therapy addresses the underlying emotional aspects that may intensify pain. Together, these approaches have the potential to significantly enhance patient well-being.

Why This Research Matters

The proposed study will investigate how interdisciplinary collaboration, framed within the emerging paradigm of embodied cognition, can optimise treatment outcomes for those with bodily distress disorder. Our findings could not only transform individual patient care but also pave the way for broader applications in chronic pain management, advocating for more integrated, patient-centered treatment models across healthcare.

Your Support is Crucial

We invite you to join us in this vital initiative. Your contributions will directly support the research efforts, allowing us to gather valuable data that could revolutionise treatment strategies for bodily distress disorder disorder and similar conditions.

How You Can Help

Thank you for your commitment to this important cause!

Warm regards,

The Core Clapton Team

A vision for a pain-free world | It was whilst lecturing at the University College of Osteopathy and working as the principal Osteopath for Goldman Sachs that I decided to set up Core Clapton with the backing of Bobby Vedral, then one of my patients and a Goldman Sachs Partner. He shared my belief that Osteopathy was not just for the wealthy. So began our mission to make Osteopathy accessible to all, and our vision of building healthy, active communities, free from pain. Our dedicated team is advancing Osteopathic healthcare by treating holistically and regularly holding seminars for healthcare practitioners and wellness professionals. I am proud that Core Clapton has evolved into a wellness centre, helping nurture a community that is becoming free from pain.
