Everyone that has pain that keeps going on and on needs to download Pathways. It's unbelievable that the know-how and exercises in the app aren't common knowledge and the first step in resolving pain
Who is Pathways for?
For when the pain just doesn’t go away
3 Months +
Pain that lasts more than 3 months – and often many years – is known as chronic or persistent pain. Persistent pain is very different to ‘normal’ acute pain and that needs to be reflected in how we treat it
No Obvious Treatment
Perhaps treatment provides little or temporary relief. Maybe you’ve received contradictory diagnoses. And despite all your efforts, pain just doesn't go away
Strange Pain
Has pain outlasted the normal healing period? Does pain change with your mood or environment? Perhaps your pain migrates from place to place?
Science Behind Pathways
A few of the scientific studies that support our techniques:
Recent Research
2017Research by the University of Utah published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine concluded: “After participating in a single, 15-minute session of certain mind-body therapies, patients reported an immediate decrease in pain levels similar to what one might expect from an opioid painkiller.”
2015 A 2015 study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine resulted in this conclusion: “A mind-body program for chronic LBP [lower back pain] improved short-term function and long-term current and most severe pain…”
20112011 research titled “Pain and Emotion: A Biopsychosocial Review of Recent Research” concluded that “Emotions are integral to the conceptualization, assessment, and treatment of persistent pain…”
Pre-2010 Research
2010The 2010 study by Howard Schubiner, MD at the Department of Internal Medicine, found that: “The affective self-awareness intervention improved pain, tenderness, and self-reported physical function for at least 6 months in women with fibromyalgia compared to wait-list control."
2010 The Department of Neurology in the Oregon Health & Science University published a study in 2010 stating, “The desire of patients to engage in mind–body techniques as an additional therapy to more conventional treatments needs to be recognized”
2009The Department of Psychology at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte conducted a study in 2009 on the effect of brief mindfulness meditation on pain and concluded with: “Our findings indicate that a brief 3-day mindfulness meditation intervention was effective at reducing pain ratings and anxiety scores when compared with baseline testing and other cognitive manipulations”
Even More
2007A study led by David Schechter, MD, in 2007 concluded with this: “We believe that a mind-body approach is more effective and involves much less risk and expense than conventional approaches in appropriately diagnosed cases.”
2004 A 2004 study by John A Astin, PhD recommended that: “Based on the evidence reviewed here, the adjunctive use of MBTs [Mind-Body Therapies] should be considered in the treatment of health-related problems that include pain as a major component.”
2003A clinical review in 2003 titled ‘Mind-Body Medicine: State of the Science, Implications for Practice’ concluded with: “There is now considerable evidence that an array of mind-body therapies can be used as effective adjuncts to conventional medical treatment for a number of common clinical conditions.”
2002 A 2002 study from the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases and University of Bath concluded: “Current BT-CBT helps many patients with chronic pain…”

FAQs
Our program has helped patients overcome years, and sometimes decades of pain from various conditions including:
• Back pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Neck Pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
• Shoulder Pain
• Joint Pains
• Sciatica
• Tinnitus
• Digestive Issues
This is by no means an exhaustive list. The Pathways program is useful to anyone with pain that lasts a minimum of three months.
The more of these statements that apply to you, the greater the chance that our program can help you reduce or even get rid of your pain.
1. Has your pain lasted longer than 3 months? The longer you’ve had pain, the more likely it is that your pain system is being overprotective
2. If an injury started the pain, has the normal healing period for that injury now passed?
3. Do traditional treatments (pills/surgery) offer little or temporary relief?
4. Does your pain change with your mood or environment?
5. Does your pain migrate to surrounding areas?
6. Have you developed fear and avoidance strategies for your pain?
We take patients on an interactive journey that starts with pain science education. Understanding that pain is much more complex (and interesting!) than a signal from damaged tissues, is an important step towards turning down the volume on pain.
We then move onto breaking any behaviours that could be keeping your pain system in high-alert. We also cover physical therapy, guided imagery, visulization and mindfulness exercises, hundreds of meditations and more.
Our sessions are audio based and between 2 and 20 minutes long.
Some patients find pain relief within just a few weeks! For patients that have had pain for many years or decades, they will usually start seeing noticeable reductions in pain within the first few months.
Everyone's journey to pain relief is different. It takes time and effort, but it is possible to find relief from persistent pain.
No. The Pathways program does not involve recommending medication. At Pathways we can’t tell you to stop or change your medication regimen – that is the responsibility of your doctor and you should consult with them before making any changes.
Sometimes, medication can be useful in addition to the techniques we teach. Think of it as extra tools in your pain-relief toolbox.
No. All pain that you feel is 100% real and not ‘all in the head’.
All too often, people who suffer from persistent pain are treated as if their pain is made up or exaggerated. Partly because there is no test to diagnose persistent pain.
This sometimes makes people who suffer from persistent pain feel as if they have to prove their symptoms are real which can be frustrating and just this alone can intensify pain.
All pain, no matter where or how it is felt, is produced by the brain. Your brain always decides when, and when not to create pain in fractions of a second.
It’s a strange, and fascinating process. The more you understand how this works, the more power you’ll have over your pain.
The techniques and practices in the Pathways program are scientifically grounded. They include fall under a few different headings: biopsychosocial model of pain, cognitive behavioral therapy & mind body treatments.
Multiple studies support each of these practices and we combine what we believe are the most effective techniques based on research and how helpful the exercises have been for real patients.
Inside of Pathways, you can see a detailed breakdown of studies we reference by clicking 'view sources' during the consultation phase.
It’s most likely that they will. However, with appointments typically lasting 15 minutes it’s tough for doctors to go over the biopsychosocial approach without it being misinterpreted as “the pain is all in your head’.
We suggesting showing Pathways to your doctor and seeing what they think. We’re confident that they’ll approve.
Note to doctors: We're partnering with an increasing number of health professionals to do more for your patients in pain. Get in touch to find out more.

" I was diagnosed with ME/CFS three years ago. I lost a fantastic job because my ME/CFS became so debilitating. I was unable to drive, to spend time with family and friends. I even missed out on spreading my father's ashes because of a savage flare up which left me bed bound for weeks. have only been using this app for a week, but I am already pain-free. I still have a long way to go, but Pathways has given me a chance to live a normal life. I would recommend anyone suffering from chronic pain should definitely try this app."

"I absolutely love this app. I have Lyme disease, osteoarthritis, scoliosis, and use a cane to walk. There is little doctors can do for me. I can feel so powerless at times. This app empowers me. I am able to do the visualizations and self-talk. There's so much I can't do but this app gives me the priceless gift of hope that I can have control over my pain."

Back Pain: The Scientific Mind Body Guide
When our back hurts, we instinctively believe it’s because we’ve injured the area. After all, most pain works this way. When we cut our finger, we see blood and feel pain. When we get the flu, our body hurts as it battles the virus. But persistent back pain is different. Decades of research proves that […]
