FIT Teens

Fitness Integrative Training for Teens (FIT Teens) is a combined coping skills training and physical exercise program. Pain coping skills training, also called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches a number of behavioral skills (e.g. breathing, relaxation, activity pacing, distraction, and calming statements). Participants also receive a specialized type of neuromuscular exercise training which focuses on core strength, gait and balance.
