Pain reprocessing therapy

Retraining the brain to heal chronic pain.

Break free from chronic pain

What is Pain Reprocessing Therapy?

Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a form of talking therapy used to help clients who experience neuroplastic pain.

What is Neuroplastic Pain?

Your brain’s job is to keep you safe. Pain is a signal from your brain that your physical safety is under threat (either real or perceived).

Neuroplastic pain is when the brain misreads signals – it takes safe sensory input and interprets it as dangerous. This means you get a lot of pain when there is not necessarily tissue damage.

How does PRT treat Neuroplastic Pain?

PRT works by deactivating the danger signals in the brain, and creates new neural pathways which let the brain know that it’s safe. This reduces the feeling of threat, therefore reducing the level of pain the brain is giving you.

The evidence

A 2021 randomized controlled trial published in a peer-reviewed medical journal found that Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) significantly reduced chronic pain, with 66% of participants becoming pain-free or nearly pain-free after just four weeks—compared to only 20% in the placebo group and 10% in the usual care group.

These improvements were supported by MRI scans showing decreased pain-related brain activity and increased activity in regions linked to positive emotions, with benefits lasting a year later without further treatment.

Flare ups are part of healing. We’ll show you how to respond with curiosity instead of fear, using simple mental and physical techniques to keep progress on track.

What people are saying

“Learning about neuroplastic pain in my Pain Reprocessing Therapy course was like lifting the veil on my experience of pain.

I went in confident I knew my brain and body—thanks to years of research, 23 years of dance training, and 16 years of chronic pain – but the PRT training showed me something different: the relationship I had with pain itself. I uncovered subconscious fears I’d never considered and gained immense clarity. Most importantly, I learned how to respond to pain in the future.

It’s the best toolkit I could ask for.”
