Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)
PRT is an evidence-based treatment for chronic pain. For our purposes we will consider chronic pain to be negative sensations that you continue to experience in your body after normal healing time has taken place. PRT is effective for things issues like chronic fatigue and anxiety as much as for fibromyalgia, migraines, arthritis and general body pains.
What is Pain Reprocessing Therapy? (From the PRT website):
”About 1.5 billion people worldwide suffer from chronic pain, but many do not have to. Recent neuroscience breakthroughs show that most chronic pain results from the brain misinterpreting safe messages from the body as if they were dangerous. Research has found that the brain has the power to generate pain even in the absence of physical damage.
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a system of psychological techniques that retrains the brain to accurately interpret and respond to signals from the body, breaking the cycle of chronic pain. Although various treatments aim to manage pain, PRT stands apart as an evidence-based treatment to eliminate pain.”
How do I use PRT?
After being in chronic pain for 8 years beginning 19 years ago, I learned, honed, discerned and provided the best possible modalities to understand, relieve and even thrive with chronic pain. Then I discovered PRT. I can’t in any way exaggerate the pleasure with which I can say: PRT eliminated my pain. I no longer consider myself to be a ‘chronic pain type’ or to fear for a future that must accommodate a certain amount of pain. And if you have chronic pain, I want the same for you. It’s an absolute game-changer.
Treatment structure and fees
PRT sessions are offered online as a preference but get in touch if you want to discuss attending in-person.
PRT sessions work to undo the habits of being in pain. This works best by attending an initial 3-5 longer sessions (45-60 mins) a few days to a week apart; and then 3-6 further 30 min session over a number of week or months depending on how long it takes to completely retrain your neural pathways.
Assessment, 60 mins, £90
Treatments: £75 for 50mins - 5 sessions.
(5 sessions is our expected number to make a big impact. If further sessions are needed these will cost less (we can discuss) and will be shorter as your pain/condition clears. You may want to check in every few months to keep pain pathways clear.
