Jan Sadler lives with her husband in Cornwall where she enjoyed a successful career in education until a serious back injury forced her to give up teaching. Following surgery, she was left in constant pain with no hope of any further effective conventional treatment. She took control of her situation by devising her own pain management programmes for others; these are now widely used by pain and stress management clinics and self-help support groups.
