Members came together curious and supportive around the question of mirror therapy, with many admitting they had never heard of it before and wanting to learn more. Several members shared helpful context, explaining that mirror therapy uses mirrors to trick the brain into thinking a body part is functioning and can be used to treat chronic pain, not just phantom limb pain in amputees. A recurring theme was openness to exploring new treatments, with one member planning to try it despite their physiotherapist only recently mentioning it, while acknowledging that results vary from person to person.

Mirror therapy uses mirrors to trick the brain into thinking the body part is actually functioning. I have not tried it, but I might just to see and make a decision after that.
