Is your pain coming from your back, or your nervous system?
For driven people who’ve hit a wall they can’t push through. Your scans look fine, you’ve done the PT, but your body still hurts. Let’s figure out why.
Book a free 20-min pain assessmentDoes this sound familiar?
- Your pain has lasted months or years, and scans don’t fully explain it
- It gets worse with stress, and sometimes moves around or changes
- You’ve tried PT, rest, injections or medication, and nothing has stuck
- You’ve started avoiding things you love, just in case
If you nodded along, your nervous system may be playing a bigger role than anyone has told you.
Your pain is real. It just might not be structural.
When pain lasts a long time, the nervous system can get stuck in a protective loop, sending pain signals long after the body has healed. The good news is that the nervous system can unlearn this loop.
Our coaching is based on Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a research-backed approach that helps the brain stop treating safe sensations as dangerous. In a randomized trial of people with chronic back pain, about two-thirds were pain-free or nearly pain-free after 8 weeks of treatment. JAMA Psychiatry, 2022

We are not interested in more techniques for coping with pain. Our work transforms the underlying symptoms so you can live a full life.
This probably isn’t for you if…
your pain comes from a recent injury, an inflammatory condition like rheumatoid arthritis, or hasn’t been checked by a doctor yet. The free assessment helps sort this out.
Questions
How do I know if this will actually work?
The best way to tell is to experience the practice yourself. If the assessment suggests you are a good fit, we’ll give a direct taste of our approach before you commit. Many clients will notice changes in their experience in the very first session.
What is the evidence for this?
Besides the hundred plus clients our team has guided to resolution, here are three high quality randomized controlled trials:
- In the Boulder back-pain study, two out of three people (66%) with chronic back pain were pain-free or nearly pain-free after Pain Reprocessing Therapy, vs. 20% on placebo — sustained at 5-year follow-up.Ashar et al., 2021 & 2025, JAMA Psychiatry
- At UCLA, 63% of older male veterans with chronic musculoskeletal pain achieved at least 30% relief with EAET compared to only 17% treated with CBT.Yarns et al., 2024, JAMA Netw Open
- In a chronic back-pain trial, 64% were pain-free after psychophysiologic symptom relief therapy at 26 weeks, vs. 25% with mindfulness and 17% with usual care.Donnino et al., 2021, PAIN Reports
How long does it take?
Many clients report changes from the first sessions, but the full container is 2–3 months to allow integration and resumption of normal activity.
