Small Changes, Big Impact: Improving your Surroundings to help Manage Pain

Dr. Aaron Waters discusses the healing power of nature, green space, and environment, including aromas. We can all feel the impact of our surroundings, as being in nature and surrounded by beauty affects our whole selves. Dr. Waters discusses creating living and workspaces that feel peaceful with color, sound, light, art, plants, scents, and other environmental conditions that influence our mood, our stress levels, and therefore our pain levels. We don’t always have control over our environment, but often we can make small changes to improve our surroundings.
