We love sharing real-world results, showing that hope and healing emerge when science and practical application come together.

These success stories not only highlight the importance of 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 the brain’s role in chronic pain, but more crucially, they demonstrate the results that come from 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 chronic pain not as a malfunction, but as a purposeful signal, a message that needs to be heard.

🧠By understanding how the brain drives protective responses, individuals can work with a certified practitioner who utilises direct brain body communication techniques, combined with a single focused session, to 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥 meaningful insights into the brain’s learnt interpretation of harm and why it predicts the need for protection.

This opens the opportunity to gently engage predictive processing and harness the brain’s natural capacity to re-evaluate, 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 the predicted need for protection and 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 the body’s protective responses, leading to significant pain reduction or complete release, predominantly within a single focused session.

🙏A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has shared their story, and to Drew for making it possible.

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬

We are encouraged to see the European Parliament hosting the Societal Impact of Pain (SIP) event on 16 October 2025 in Brussels: “𝐹𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝐵𝑢𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛 𝑡𝑜 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛: 𝑅𝑒𝑓𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐶ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑐 𝑃𝑎𝑖𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝐸𝑈 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑡ℎ 𝑃𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑦.”

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐲. Chronic pain is the most common health condition in Europe, affecting millions at all stages of life. Beyond its physical toll, it limits participation in work and society, increases the risk of mental ill health, and isolates individuals from the lives they want to live. The economic cost is staggering, but the human cost is even greater.

Despite this, chronic pain has long been under-recognised in policy, underfunded in research, and poorly addressed in care pathways. Too often, treatments focus on managing symptoms rather than preventing chronicity. The SIP event marks an important step forward, recognising that prevention is not just desirable, but essential, for individuals, families, and health systems.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.

We are all on a journey to understand pain more deeply and to close the gap between emerging scientific insights and everyday practice. The goal is clear: 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤𝑙𝑒𝑑𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑜 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒, 𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑.

𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 how a shift in perspective, combined with an innovative and practical approach, opens the door to meaningful change. Individuals gain a clearer understanding of their pain, release long-term symptoms rapidly, and prevent unnecessary suffering in the future.

As a non-drug approach that focuses on the brain’s role in chronic pain, Chronic Pain Release Therapy OldPain2Go® offers a scientifically aligned, accessible, scalable, and practical method. It demonstrates remarkable results and can be integrated across diverse professional settings, supporting collaboration, innovation, and prevention.

🌍𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, ensuring that chronic pain is no longer a life sentence but a challenge that can be understood, addressed, and released.

We warmly welcome collaborations to explore how we can work together to transform chronic pain care and prevention.

𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 ➰

Each September, organisations, pain associations, and healthcare professionals around the world come together to raise awareness about chronic pain. It is a time to stand with those affected by pain, to share understanding, and to bring hope.

Amid all the important messages being shared, one question gently emerges: 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑡ℎ𝑠 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑛 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑡𝑜 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟?

🌍 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥

🔹 Chronic pain affects millions globally, with profound effects on individuals, families, communities, healthcare systems, and the economy.

🧠 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲

🔹 Advances in neuroscience show that pain is neurobiological: the brain interprets signals from the body and predicts whether protection is necessary.
🔹 Highlighting how pain is influenced not only by physical signals but also by past experiences, emotions, expectations, and the surrounding environment.

💡 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞

🔹 Pain can persist even when tissue has healed.
🔹 This does not make pain any less real.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝, 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥-𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥

🔹 Understanding the individual, their history, experiences, and context, is essential before determining whether the pain still serves a protective purpose.
🔹 Asking “𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑦 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑛 𝑛𝑜𝑤?” is a vital step. Pain may begin as tissue injury (nociceptive) or nerve damage (neuropathic), but over time it can become sustained by changes within the nervous system, a process known as 𝑛𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐 pain.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬: 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 💙

🔹 When nociplastic pain is suspected of amplifying or sustaining the pain experience, it becomes vital to consider the brain’s protective role.

🔹 Understanding that the brain prioritises protection over accuracy helps explain why pain can persist. When the brain re-evaluates its learned interpretation of threat after appropriate action is taken, its predicted need to protect is updated. This can allow pain to reset, in many cases rapidly, even immediately.

We are at a pivotal moment where new insights are challenging myths and stigma, giving voice to those who have lived in silence. By working together across the healthcare and wellbeing community, we can bring hope, meaningful relief, and help more people experience the possibility of recovery.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞

🌍 Pain education is transforming lives worldwide. When individuals learn how pain is processed by the body and brain, why it can persist, and, crucially, that it is not always a sign of damage, something remarkable can happen.

The brain can be supported to explore and re-evaluate its signals, reset automatic responses, and open a pathway to pain release.

𝐘𝐞𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲, 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡, an update in strategic approach may be needed.

🧠 Thanks to advances in pain neuroscience, we now understand that pain is never a “𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑧𝑒 𝑓𝑖𝑡𝑠 𝑎𝑙𝑙” experience. It is always individual, shaped by each person’s past experiences, emotional state, future expectations, and the surrounding environment.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞, it bridges the gap from simply learning about pain to truly understanding how it manifests for each person.

In a safe, collaborative space, individuals are supported to:

🔹 Feel heard, understood, and valued
🔹 Make sense of their pain through clear, science-based education
🔹 Explore their unique experience, uncovering why the brain and body may be protecting them so persistently
🔹 Experience targeted brain–body communication techniques that engage predictive brain patterns, gently guiding the natural re-evaluation process

💡 Together, these elements not only help individuals learn and understand 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 pain, but also connect them with professionals who can apply innovative, effective techniques to reset protective responses and support complete pain release.

Our mission is to make this support accessible through our online practitioner map directory.

We are all on a journey to understand pain more deeply and discover approaches that truly make a difference. No one has to navigate this evolving journey alone. Together, we can provide agency and a pathway, the two core components of hope 💙
