Chronic Pain?
Seek Relief with Pain Reprocessing Therapy
What is Pain Reprocessing Therapy?
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is an evidence-based treatment for chronic pain. PRT uses a combination of psychological techniques and somatic-practices that help chronic pain sufferers find lasting relief from pain.

Share your pain story: When did it start, how does it feel, what emotions are connected to your pain?
Education about neuroplastic pain and how your brain can create real pain, even when there isn’t a physical cause
Psychological techniques and body-based practices that change how your brain processes pain signals
Re-train your brain, soothe your nervous system, and reassess your pain with a lens of safety
All treatment is over telehealth, this is a very common way of engaging in Pain Reprocessing Therapy

After injury or traumatic events, our body isn’t the only thing that needs to heal: our brains and nervous systems do, too. Pain Reprocessing Therapy re-trains the brain and changes our body’s experience of pain to help us heal more wholly.
Pain is a signal that keeps us safe in times of danger. When there is a recent injury, your brain does you a solid and creates pain that encourages rest while your body recovers. Thank you brain!
Sometimes though, the brain messes up. The brain can misinterpret sensations in the body as painful or dangerous, creating chronic pain when there isn’t any lasting physical damage or danger. Chronic pain that we attribute to physical causes can actually be created by our brain and nervous system being on “high alert” or being in fight, flight, or freeze. When our brain is on “high alert”, it can misinterpret regular sensations from the body as dangerous, and this is what creates pain. We call this neuroplastic pain.
You may be asking: so is the pain all inside of my head? No, it isn’t. I promise. The pain is caused by your brain and your central nervous system. A false fire alarm is STILL an alarm. The pain is REAL, it’s just not coming from where you think it’s coming from. Neuroplastic pain can even be seen with MRI tests.
