Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at helping manage and alleviate chronic pain. Unlike traditional pain management techniques that focus solely on physical symptoms, PRT recognizes the intricate connection between the mind and body. By addressing underlying psychological factors, such as stress, anxiety,and trauma, PRT empowers individuals to better cope with their pain and improve their quality of life.
