Re-train Your Brain, Relieve Your Pain

If you’re living with chronic pain—whether it shows up as neck pain, tension headaches, back pain, or other persistent discomfort—Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) offers a proven way to break the cycle. PRT teaches your brain to respond differently to pain signals, often reducing or eliminating pain without medication or invasive procedures.

What Is Pain Reprocessing Therapy?

PRT is an evidence-based approach that blends neuroscience and psychology to help people find lasting relief from chronic pain.
 Research shows that many long-term pain conditions are not caused by ongoing tissue damage but by sensitized neural pathways in the brain. By learning how to reinterpret pain sensations and reduce fear, you can create new, healthier neural connections.

Why PRT Works

PRT leverages neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself. Chronic pain—even when there’s no clear physical cause—activates brain regions similar to those involved in stress or anxiety. Your pain is real, but because it’s shaped by the nervous system, it can change. Through PRT you’ll learn to:

  • Understand how chronic pain interacts the nervous system

  • Re-label pain signals as safe

  • Calm the body with mindfulness and breathwork

  • Resume activities you may have avoided because of pain

Who can Benefit?

PRT is especially effective for people with:

  • Chronic neck pain

  • Frequent headaches or migraines

  • Back pain and sciatica

  • Fibromyalgia

  • TMJ (jaw) pain

  • Other long-lasting pain where medical tests show little or no tissue damage

If previous treatments have offered only temporary relief, PRT provides a different, brain-focused avenue to recovery.

My Pilates-Informed PRT Coaching

As a Stott-trained Pilates instructor and Physiotherapy Assistant, I integrate the mindful movement principles of Pilates with the science of Pain Reprocessing Therapy.


 Our sessions may include:

  • Pain education and somatic tracking

  • Gentle Pilates-based movement to build confidence and stability

  • Breathwork and nervous-system regulation

  • Graded imagery and gradual return to daily activities

This holistic blend helps you reconnect with your body and move freely again.

A Collaborative Approach

I’m not a mental-health therapist; my role is coaching within my scope of practice. If deeper emotional processing is needed, I can refer you to a licensed counsellor so you receive full support.

 

Start Your Journey to Relief

Don’t let chronic pain, neck pain, or headaches keep you from living fully. Pain Reprocessing Therapy, combined with mindful Pilates movement, can help retrain your brain, calm your nervous system, and restore ease in your daily life.
