PRT is designed to rebuild safety being present in the body.

Pain Reprocessing Therapy has shown to be effective for increasing safety in the body for a variety of symptoms including:

• Nausea and GI issues

• Dizziness

• Vertigo

• Itchiness

• Migraines

• Fatigue

If you have unpleasant physiological symptoms that have made it difficult to be in your body PRT can help even if the symptom experienced is not pain.

Yes. I welcome a healthy amount of skepticism for any therapy modality that you are going to try, so I’m glad you’re asking about the research. There are over 50 peer-reviewed studies that demonstrate the efficacy of PRT for a variety of chronic illness diagnoses including:

• Fibromyalgia

• Endometriosis

• IBS

• Arthritis

• Tinnitus

• Hypermobility

PRT has been shown to significantly reduce pain levels in clients. Not only is PRT effective at reducing pain while you are in therapy but the effects are maintained long after you complete PRT. Significant reduction in reported pain levels was shown to be sustained 5 years after client’s last PRT treatment in a recent study.

As your question demonstrates, pain has an evolutionary purpose. Pain lets us know that there is something wrong with the body and motivates us to get help. But what happens when this evolutionary response starts misfiring?

When you see the statistics on PRT where some clients report 100% reduction in chronic pain many clients get concerned that they will miss important signals from their body without their pain. Luckily, the brain region associated with chronic pain (and the brain region that is targeted in PRT as shown in fMRI scans post PRT treatment) is a different brain region than the region of the brain that processes acute, structural injuries. What does this mean? It means that your brain’s threat detection system for acute, structural damage will not be impacted by PRT. You will still feel acute pain if you injure yourself.

Neuroplastic pain is defined as pain that is created or amplified by the brain in response to a stimulus in the body. When you experience chronic pain your brain is in overdrive mode and is translating neutral sensations from your body as intense pain signals. You may have noticed that similar bodily sensations can result in very different experiences. At times a sensation is painful and at others it is relaxing or neutral. The chest pressure we feel when we are anxious is quite painful yet we feel soothed by a deep pressure massage in our shoulders. How? Because the brain decides how signals from the body are interpreted. When a bodily sensation is viewed through a lens of fear this creates chronic pain, fatigue, and debilitating symptoms.

By recreating safety in the body we can help your brain to stop interpreting bodily sensations as pain and ultimately get you relief.
