What is Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)?
Pain Reprocessing Therapy is an evidence-based approach to reversing chronic pain. While other treatments aim to manage pain, the goal of PRT is to eliminate it.
Real recovery, and often outright cure, is possible.
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a system of psychological techniques that retrain the brain to more accurately interpret signals from the body.
Research has found that the brain has the power to generate pain even in the absence of physical damage. In the case of neuroplastic pain, the brain mixes up harmless messages from the body and mistakenly responds as though the body is in danger. PRT is a method to unlearn those unhelpful messages. With skilled guidance, the patient learns to replace messages of danger with messages of safety, retraining the brain and leading to lasting recovery.
PRT can be effective for symptoms beyond pain, including syndromes such as chronic fatigue, nausea and IBS.
