Pain is complex, but understanding it can reduce its impact. This supportive session helps you make sense of why pain can persist and how the nervous system influences symptoms. You will leave feeling more confident in your body and with practical tools to support recovery.

This group medical visit is designed to help you begin, or return to, movement in a way that feels safe and accessible.

We explore the idea that movement is medicine, not by pushing or fixing, but by helping the nervous system feel calmer and more capable. Through mindfulness, breathing, and gentle movement, you’ll learn simple, practical ways to support regulation and build trust in your body.

Each session includes guided breathing, a short meditation, and simple mindful movement that can be done seated or standing. No equipment or prior experience is required, and there is no expectation to push through pain.

You will leave with practical tools and resources you can continue using on your own, so gentle movement can remain part of your care in a way that feels realistic and supportive.

This 2-hour, single-session pain education workshop is based on Stanford research. Learn why pain persists, how it’s processed in the brain and body, and practical tools to reduce it. Leave with a personalized pain relief plan to support daily function and help you regain a sense of control.

This 4-session series supports people living with persistent pain or fatigue to better understand their energy, reduce flare-ups, and find a more sustainable rhythm for daily life. You’ll learn practical pacing, planning, and energy-saving strategies to help move away from the boom–bust cycle and build greater confidence in managing activity over time.

Next offered Fall 2026.

This session explores pacing and planning in the context of persistent pain, with a focus on understanding barriers that can make these strategies difficult to apply. We discuss the impact of structural factors and neurodiversity, and introduce practical, flexible approaches to support more sustainable activity and reduce flare-ups. Participants are encouraged to have prior experience with pacing and planning, such as through the Energy, Pain and Pacing series, to get the most out of this session.

Next offered Fall 2026.

This eight-session program teaches skills from Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a research-informed approach that helps the nervous system feel safer and promote healing through neuroplasticity. You will learn practical tools such as somatic tracking to reduce fear of pain and support recovery.

PRT will be offered again in Fall 2026.

This four-part series introduces evidence-based cognitive behavioural therapy strategies for persistent pain. Learn how thoughts, emotions, behaviours, stress, and activity patterns can influence pain and daily function. Each 30-minute visit includes practical tools to help you respond differently to pain-related thoughts, move away from avoidance and boom-and-bust cycles, and work toward meaningful goals. By the end of the series, you will have a personalized plan for navigating pain flares and challenging days.

Living with chronic pain or fatigue can make sleep difficult, and poor sleep can in turn worsen pain and exhaustion. In this group session, you’ll learn how sleep and pain are connected and explore practical, evidence-based strategies to support better rest.

The focus is on simple, realistic changes such as routines, timing, and daily habits that can support improved rest and nervous system regulation over time, without aiming for perfect sleep. This session offers key highlights and tools you can start using right away.

This two-part group medical visit examines current research on the relationship between nutrition and persistent pain, including how dietary patterns may influence inflammation, nervous system sensitivity, energy, and other factors involved in pain and recovery. You will learn how to separate evidence-based recommendations from common nutrition myths and identify practical strategies that account for pain-related barriers such as fatigue, limited mobility, and difficulty preparing meals. You will create one realistic nutrition goal during the initial session and return four weeks later to review your progress, address challenges, and adjust your plan as needed.

This evidence-based group medical visit explores how joint stability, body awareness, muscle function, and nervous system sensitivity can contribute to persistent pain in people with hypermobility. You will learn practical rehabilitation strategies for improving joint support, movement control, pacing, and confidence with everyday activities. The session includes gentle, adaptable movement practice and guidance for responding to pain flares without pushing through or avoiding movement completely.

Stress and pain often influence each other. When stress increases, the nervous system can become more activated, which may make pain feel more intense.

This group medical visit explores how stress affects the body and nervous system, how stress can contribute to pain flare-ups, and how recognizing early warning signs can help you intervene sooner.

You will learn simple evidence-based strategies to support nervous system regulation, including breathing techniques, supportive daily routines, and cognitive strategies that can help reduce the impact of stress on pain.

Living with persistent pain can affect mood, and low mood can increase pain intensity, making daily activities more difficult. This session explores how mood, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours influence the pain experience and overall function. Participants will learn and practice practical skills drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support mood and reduce the impact of pain.

Explore the role medications can play in pain care, from over-the-counter options to prescriptions. This session focuses on informed decision-making, helping you understand risks, benefits, and how to talk to your care team about your choices.

Procedures—like injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablations or other interventions—can sometimes play a role in managing persistent pain. But they are just one tool in the toolbox. In this group medical visit, Dr. Noah Alexander will walk you through the most common procedures offered for pain, what they can and can’t do, and how they may fit into a broader recovery plan. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of what to expect before, during, and after these interventions, which clinics offer them, and how to decide (with your care team) whether a procedure might be right for you.

Living with persistent pain can make it difficult to stay active and engaged in daily life. This session teaches evidence-based strategies to support functional improvement through values-based goal setting, helping participants reconnect with meaningful activities in a safe and sustainable way. Participants will learn how to set realistic, flexible goals and respond to barriers in order to reduce flare-ups and improve confidence with daily function.

This group medical visit teaches communication skills as part of a comprehensive approach to managing persistent pain. Participants will learn how to express symptoms and needs clearly, set boundaries, and navigate relationship stress in ways that support pacing, nervous system regulation, and adherence to treatment strategies. These skills can help reduce flare-ups, improve function, and support more consistent engagement in daily activities.
