What our clients say

“Having that private one to one help really helps to feel that you have close support in the beginning which is really hard to get in nz. Having a person to reach out to with questions helps to not feel alone in the journey”

“I would highly recommend Ben to anyone who is suffering from long term chronic pain. During his coaching sessions I always felt relaxed with no pressure. He put together a pain plan for me to follow during times of heightened symptoms which helped so much because during those times I would tend to panic and not be able to think.”

“Ben explains everything in depth, he answers questions extremely well and always gives me reassurance. His messaging service between appointments is invaluable.”

Our process

5 steps to your pain recovery

At PainPlan we like to take the complexity of pain science and make it a simple step-by-step individualised plan that you can follow.

Step 1

Pain type assessment

First we establish what type of pain you are presenting with. The use of nervous system based tools, is best suited to neuroplastic pain (aka neural pathway pain). If there are other treatments or assessments recommended you will be referred elsewhere.

Step 2

Identify patterns

Chronic pain is always multifactorial, meaning there are many things that influence it. We carefully go through your pain history and identify not only the patterns keeping your pain stuck, but also what new patterns of thinking or behaviours that reinforce safety and improve your symptoms.

Step 3

Create a plan

One we have figured out what to work on, we structure a sustainable plan that you can implement on a daily basis to encourage calming of your nervous system, and gradual reductions in protective patterns. You will have support and guidance the whole way to ensure you stay on track and have any questions answered.

Step 4

Long term change

The new patterns you work on become a life practice, for long term results. We work together to create a long term vision of goals you want to work towards, and how to manage any setbacks along the way to ensure you are not only feeling good now but into the future.

Services

We will work together to create a plan that suits you, your lifestyle, and goals.
