Knitting for Pain Relief

Stitchlinks.com was founded by Betson Corkhill, a physiotherapist, who attended the first world conference on therapeutic knitting, which was held in Bath in June. It attracted international clinicians, academics and patients representing pain, mental health, dementia and post-traumatic stress. They were all interested in the possibility of knitting groups being set up to facilitate a positive change in physical, mental and psychological illness.
