Living with chronic pain is more than just a physical struggle, it affects your mood, your energy, and your ability to live life fully. In Medway and Rainham, Pain to Peace Therapy offers a powerful blend of pain therapy, chronic pain management, and therapy in Medway that taps into your potential to rediscover balance and relief.


Why This Works: The Power of Integrated Therapy

Modern chronic pain management goes beyond treating physical symptoms. It requires a holistic approach that addresses the mind and body connection.


1. Hypnotherapy for Pain Management

Hypnotherapy is a non-invasive, drug-free method supported by growing scientific evidence. It helps alter the brain’s perception of pain and enhances relaxation, a powerful tool in pain therapy.


  • Hypnosis has demonstrated success in reducing pain intensity, reprogramming neural pathways, and offering self-regulation strategies for sustained relief.

  • A 2019 review of 85 studies found hypnosis to be particularly effective in reducing pain for individuals with moderate to high hypnotic suggestibility.

  • Hypnotherapy is especially effective for chronic conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and FND.

2. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP techniques in pain management help reconnect your mind and body, reduce emotional triggers, and enhance coping strategies.

  • NLP supports emotional awareness and recovery from deep-rooted stress, guilt, or suppression—factors that can intensify chronic pain.

  • Clinical studies show integrating NLP and guided imagery reduces postoperative pain and increases comfort, valuable for long-term recovery.

While larger-scale studies are limited, NLP’s practical and personalised tools—like reframing and anchoring, have empowered many to successfully manage pain and anxiety.


3. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a foundational element in chronic pain management, focusing on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact with pain.

  • It helps reduce physical and psychosocial disability in conditions like chronic back pain and fibromyalgia.

  • By restructuring unhelpful thoughts, CBT restores self-efficacy and active engagement with life—critical in pain therapy.


4. Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT enhances psychological flexibility, shifting the focus from pain elimination to meaningful engagement with life.

  • Supported by research for use in older adults with chronic pain, ACT improves physical functionality, mental well-being, and acceptance of lingering symptoms.


5. Mindfulness-Based Pain Management (MBPM)

Mindfulness helps you observe pain without judgment and respond with compassion rather than resistance.

  • MBPM (like the Breathworks program) fosters sustained improvements in pain acceptance, emotional balance, and quality of life—even up to nine years later.

  • Engaging with the present moment through mindfulness reduces catastrophizing and supports long-term resilience.
