Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) Program for Persistent Pain
An 8-Session Group Medical Visit Series
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a research-informed approach that helps people living with persistent pain understand how the brain and nervous system influence the pain experience. This program combines education and guided practices that help the nervous system learn that the body is safe again.
PRT is based on modern pain science and the concept of neuroplasticity, which means the brain’s ability to change. When the nervous system becomes overprotective, pain can continue even after tissues have healed. Learning how pain works can help reduce fear, calm the nervous system, and support recovery. These skills can also improve your ability to participate in everyday activities and respond to pain sensations with greater confidence.
Over eight sessions, you will learn practical skills that help you relate to pain sensations in new ways and gradually retrain the brain’s response to them.

Because the program builds from week to week, we ask that you register only if you are able to attend at least 6 of the 8 sessions. Consistent participation helps you gain the most benefit and supports a safe and supportive group experience.
If these dates do not work for you, this program will be offered again in the fall.
This series is led by Hayley Alexander (physiotherapist) & Dr. Noah Alexander.
