Pain Reprocessing Therapy for chronic pain

New growth potential with recovery from chronic pain

Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a focused, short term talking therapy with an educational component about pain and your nervous system along with the teaching of cognitive, behavioural and mindfulness techniques that can re-train your brain to interpret signals from your body without fear or anxiety. This can break the pain-fear cycle and re-wire your nervous system out of pain.

This represents a paradigm shift in the treatment of chronic pain and can empower you to gain control over your pain and take charge of your own health. A recent randomized controlled study found that two-thirds of clients with chronic back pain experienced complete or near-complete pain relief following 4 weeks of twice weekly PRT*.

Is Pain Reprocessing Therapy suitable for me?

Have you had persistent pain for 3 months or more?
Do you suffer from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Tension Headaches, Migraine, chronic neck pain, chronic back pain, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or chronic primary pain of unknown cause?
Are your symptoms inadequately controlled or are you experiencing significant side effects from your medication?
Are you looking for an alternative form of chronic pain management that is free from medication or invasive procedures?
Are you looking for a holistic assessment that treats you as a whole person rather than just a condition?

If you have answered yes to any of the questions above then PRT might be suitable for you.

How long is a course of treatment?

I offer an initial 50 minute consultation for a holistic assessment of your symptoms and discuss suitability for pain reprocessing therapy.
A typical course of treatment would then consist of one appointment per week for between 4 and 8 weeks in order to help and support you in this process.
Consultations can be conducted either face to face or online.
GP or self-referral accepted.
