The Farm at San Benito curates mental health and pain management programmes

19 Apr 2021 Holistic medical wellness resort The Farm at San Benito has launched new retreats at its tropical eco-retreat in the Philippines to target pain and mental health concerns.

Situated amongst 48 hectares of lush green jungle and stunning mountain ranges, The Farm has partnered with integrative medicine providerLiving Life Well (LFL) to launch two new programmes targetting prominent health concerns during the pandemic.

Named Pain Management and Mental Health Management, both packages are carefully planned and conducted by LFL’s internationally-trained integrative medical doctors and mental health experts.

Both retreats kick off with an initial consultation with an LFL medical expert to investigate guests' immediate health problems and create a plan using a holistic approach to find the underlying cause behind these.

This is complemented by a mental health consultation with either a psychologist, psychiatrist or counsellor to help identify and ease problems such as stress, depression and anxiety.

The Pain Management programme focuses on relieving work-related diseases and chronic pain and also preventing further injury. With this in mind, The Farm taps LFL experts to help guests regain good health through a range of treatments so they can go back to their daily activities free from pain and stress.

Available as a one, two or three-night programme, the retreat includes acupuncture, physiotherapy and myotherapy sessions – a targeted massage technique that focuses on a specific muscle to ease specific pain complaints.

Meanwhile, The Farm’s Mental Health Management programme targets work-related depression, stress and anxiety.

Also available as a one, two or three-night programme, the retreat features a series of psychotherapy sessions, a water wellness treatment and a nutritional assessment.

Both retreats begin at PHP 26,025 (US$538, €447, £387) per person per night, which includes accommodation, fitness and nutritional assessment, daily nutritious meals, use of the resort’s fitness and meditation facilities and access to activity schedules.
