re+active chronic pain programs

Life can get very small with chronic pain. Learning how to live big with chronic pain. ​

​

Starting to re+consider therapy for your pain? 

I've tried PT before for my [insert body part(s)] pain, and everything I've tried doesn't work. We hear this frequently, especially when standard physical therapy hasn't worked before. Pain scientists are learning more about pain every year. One thing we do know is that, pain lights up a lot of different regions in the brain all at once: the motor system, the sensory system, the body's regulation centers, memory centers, etc. So each one should be assessed carefully to identify which slices are the bigger pieces to understand your unique pain experience and treat it in a specialized manner.  ​

​

What's different at re+active?​​

​​Expert care only

​Our entire team of physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and yoga therapists are experienced in chronic pain. We have continuing education for therapists around the globe to stay up-to-date on the latest research as well as teach other clinicians and students on the most effective strategies for managing chronic pain.

​

Integration like nowhere else

All of your therapists are under one roof, and they hold weekly 30 minute meetings just to discuss your case! This means that your PT is working with your yoga therapist on safe movement, and your OT is coordinating with your psychologist on regulation strategies. If you are having a mental or psychological block from taking the next step, the psychology team might join your session with the PT.

What is the end goal of the program:

Before any therapy takes place, you and your care team will set both short- term and long-term goals that go beyond "less pain" -- think... "what would I do if I had less pain?" We then create a plan centered around you and your goals! It's scary to dream big but we've helped people return back to all sorts of things: from sitting on longer rides so that they can travel to returning to play volleyball at a high level.
