SIRPA provides a cutting edge approach to help you eradicate your pain, rather than just learn to live with it. There are many different types of pain including; RSI, persistent back pain, general chronic pain and Sciatica. SIRPA’s approach focuses on actual recovery, rather than treating or managing the pain. It involves an evidence-based, educational and self-empowering approach to help the individual identify and acknowledge the underlying emotional causes of their pain, and ‘unlearn’ the corresponding maladaptive nerve pathways. Because these nerve pathways are reversible, full recovery is possible, irrespective of the pain’s severity or duration. Are you fed up with your pain? Once we have ruled out physically damaging conditions such as cancer and autoimmune diseases, most cases of persistent or recurrent pain (‘chronic pain’) are caused by the brain rather than something wrong with the part of the body that hurts. We now understand that the brain can learn to do this as a way of protecting us from unresolved emotional turmoil, past or present. This is sometimes referred to as a ‘maladaptive stress response’. The nerve pathways that connect the brain with the site of pain can become learned and persistently active, especially when conventional treatments address only the pain symptoms and not the underlying emotional cause.
