Learning Wellness – MyPain.ca

Hello, I am Dr. Kevin Rod

I am fortunate to be a pain patient and a pain doctor at the same time. My life experience as a pain patient qualifies me to understand pain struggle more than my education. Here are some highlights of my practice and experience: I am a Family Physician with focused practice in Chronic Pain. I am the founder and director of Toronto Poly Clinic Multi-disciplinary pain management center. I am a Lecturer with the University of Toronto DFCM as a clinical teacher. I am also a guest course contributor to Harvard Medical School department of Continuing Education.

WELLNESS is not just the absence of disease. For a person to to be WELL and have optimum WELLNESS, different aspects of human needs have to be addressed. It is worth learning about our different needs and how to fulfill them. Improving our personal wellness depends on our physical, emotional, spiritual, occupational, intellectual, financial, social and environmental factors, to name a few important ones. This is not something that will happen to us, we have to work hard on learning how to make it happen in our life time. So let us be open to learning about wellness together and applying the principles we learn to our daily lives, together.
