Chronic pain is defined as pain that has persisted beyond normal tissue healing times (3-6 months). Science tells us that pain that persists is less about the tissues and more about a hypervigilant nervous system and a brain that has a pain habit. These changes take place over time and are not in your head, but in millions of unconscious processes and programs that your brain and body execute every hour of every day. Unraveling these programs and calming the nervous systems takes consistency which is why the Shift School includes specialized programs that last 10 -12 weeks. Research shows that this is the amount of time it takes for our brains to rewire and recover from the agonizing pain habit. 

Each Step by Step Pain Care Program includes the primary elements of pain care plus specialized evidence based practices to help you recover movement, vitality and confidence so you can get back to a full, pain free life. Commit 20-60 minutes a day, 5 days a week to your program and you WILL see results.
