"Making Pain-Free Possible!"

OldPain2Go® Answers Why Your Pain Has Persisted & Why It Can Go!

OldPain2Go® is an effective methodology that helps people to free themselves of persistent pain. It works by integrating elements of logic and neuroscience to help reset the bodies protective alarm system and immediately return it to its natural state.

See if this is your story!

The Challenge

Living with pain is incredibly tough. You’re forced to maintain a façade, pretending everything is normal even when it’s not. Physical limitations creep into your life, preventing you from doing things you once loved, affecting you and the whole family, and the worst part? No one else truly can understand your pain, it’s an isolating experience.

Pain Takes Centre Stage

Pain becomes the focal point of your life, affecting everything. Social activities are often out of the question. Clear thinking is difficult due to the overwhelming concern about pain. Persistent pain deliberately annoys you, and unfortunately, neither you nor medical professionals can pinpoint its cause.

The Frustration

You’ve likely tried countless therapies, seeking relief. Some provide temporary respite, but the pain always returns. Alleviating symptoms is a short-term fix, but the underlying cause remains elusive.

Seeking Solutions

If you’re reading this, you’re open-minded and ready for answers. You want practical measures to make the pain go away—not just temporary management. You’re in the right place. We’ve worked with many people just like you facing similar challenges.

Pain has Purpose but why is some Pain Persistent?

Pain is a protective alarm signal necessary for survival, alerting you to some form of physical or emotional harm.

Acute pain, characterized as new or alarm pain, typically resolves within 12 weeks following appropriate measures that facilitate healing. Conversely, pain that continues for more than 12 weeks is classified as chronic pain, indicating it is long-standing.

Chronic, Persistent (old) Pain, can be incredibly distressing and confusing. The necessary action to facilitate healing can be difficult to understand, compounded by the frustration of continuing inconclusive medical tests that fail to identify the cause. This is because the cause of the persistent pain is not located where the harm is felt, but within the PAIN ALARM signals triggered in the BRAIN.

The reassuring news is that the brains perception of pain holds the key.

OldPain2Go® offers a personalised approach, created by logic and grounded in science that has helped thousands of people worldwide.

Understanding Pain - The 2 Categories

Acute (New) Pain & Chronic, Persistent (Old) Pain

Pain Comes and Pain Goes, that is the natural sequence of completion you have experienced so many times before!

Acute (New) Pain

Understanding Acute Pain: A Four-Stage Process

Harm: Injury occurs, and your body's receptors alert the brain to assess the damage.

Alarm: Pain serves as an alarm, a loud signal to highlight an issue and prompt action to prevent further harm.

Action: The necessary steps become clear to lessen or avoid damage and promote full healing, which occurs typically within 12 weeks for most body parts.

Reset: As healing progresses, the alarm’s intensity diminishes, eventually ceasing as safety is restored. This reset allows the brain to silence outdated pain signals, ensuring new injuries can be detected promptly.

Chronic (Old) Pain

Chronic Pain: Stuck in the Alarm Phase

Chronic pain is essentially acute pain that hasn’t progressed beyond the second stage within the typical 12-week healing period. It often confounds medical experts and even pain researchers who tend to search for complex explanations. When the origin of chronic pain remains elusive, patients typically encounter one of two scenarios:

Acceptance: They are informed that the pain is permanent and management is the only option.

Endless Search: Continuous testing and procedures ensue, leading to diminishing hope and growing anxiety.

Ultimately, without appropriate actions leading to safety, the brain never perceives an environment secure enough to initiate the reset phase, leaving the individual trapped in a perpetual state of alert.

The OldPain2Go® Solution

The OldPain2Go Approach: Resolving Chronic Pain

Using OldPain2Go®, we comprehend the brain’s intent to protect through providing chronic pain, even when it inadvertently causes more harm than good. Pain that persists can obscure the detection of new threats, which would otherwise be noticeable without the presence of the ongoing discomfort. The factors that cause pain to remain may be intricate, yet they adhere to a recognizable logic and pattern discernible by a skilled OldPain2Go® professional during a consultative dialogue.

Together, we illuminate the underlying message of your pain, empowering you to make informed decisions that lead you back to a state of safety. This paves the way for the brain to deactivate the outdated pain alert. The true beauty of our solution lies in its immediacy: once pain is deemed unnecessary, the brain ceases making the pain signals, bringing relief instantaneously.

Summary:  Pain ONLY subsides after taking appropriate ACTION, and with CHRONIC (Old) Pain, an appropriate ACTION still needs to be taken.

This is Andy's Story

In 2019 Andy was a volunteer for a training demonstration, his ankle had shattered and deformed at age 16 in a motorbike crash, and he had been in a lot of pain every day since. He left totally pain free, to the obvious delight of him and his family!

"Doctors give you pills to mask the pain, this is a different approach. I didn't believe it possible."   Andy File     

Update 2024: Still doing fine!

Andy arrived in pain at 10:20 and left without it at 10:55

Session length can vary but typically less than an hour and a half

The OldPain2Go® Pain Reset Moment!

During an OldPain2Go® session, clients often experience a remarkable moment of revelation. After exhausting all other avenues and resigning themselves to frustration and scepticism, suddenly, like a light bulb illuminating their mind, they notice a shift in their perception of pain. They realise that the pain they've endured for months or even years has significantly diminished or disappeared entirely.

Testing their newfound freedom by moving their bodies in ways they haven't for a long time, this realisation fills them with awe, disbelief, and gratitude. It's a transformative moment, where hope is restored, and they start envisioning their life free from the limitations of chronic pain.

What makes this moment so unique is the immediate result. OldPain2Go® consistently achieves significant and effective results in just one session. Whilst we witness this OldPain2Go® Pain Reset Moment regularly, the innate intelligence of the body and brain never fails to amaze, leaving the feeling that we are watching something truly magical.

“Andy's Videos show that whilst pain is an invisible sensation, we can certainly see the affects of it Going.....”      Steven Blake

OldPain2Go® A Wealth of Anecdotal Result Data

An In-House study based of 216 Customer Signed Feedback Forms.

OldPain2Go® In-House Study: Efficacy in Chronic Pain Relief

OldPain2Go® offers a drug-free, no-trance intervention targeting the root causes of persistent chronic pain. Our study analyses feedback from 216 individuals who engaged in our training and demonstrations from November 2016 to March 2019. Utilizing the Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDs), participants reported their personal perception of pain levels before and after a single OldPain2Go® session.

With an average chronic pain duration of over 10 years, the findings reveal that most participants either eliminated or significantly reduced their pain in this one session. This underscores OldPain2Go®’s potential as a viable alternative to traditional repetitive pain management strategies.

An Independent Feasibility Study 

by Teesside University, Newcastle University, & Norton Physiotherapy Centre

Quoted from the study:

"It is particularly promising to see these improvements occur within a relatively brief period of time and relatively short duration patient contact time of one hour per treatment session. This has potential implications for service provision where resources are continually over stretched and provides justification for further exploration of this novel intervention. These results demonstrate the feasibility and safety of recruiting to and delivering OldPain2Go®, for the treatment of pain and function, in people with CLBP [Chronic Lower Back Pain] within a research setting."

Drew Coverdale  - MSc BSc MCSP MMACP

Drew Coverdale is a Chartered Physiotherapist in the UK and author of The Pain Habit, with over 25 years of experience treating patients with musculoskeletal conditions. 

Drew admits to being very sceptical of OldPain2Go® when he first heard of it. That even continued when he trained in it, until he had used it on his first few patients, then he realised the potential of the methodology. It was Drew that introduced OldPain2Go® to the Universities, and worked within the study, and for that we will always be grateful.

What is an OldPain2Go® Session?

OldPain2Go® is only available if you have consulted a medical professional about the issue more than 12 weeks ago.

Initial Contact (free): When you connect with an OldPain2Go® practitioner, they’ll assess your suitability and session duration. Minimal detail is needed initially, as they prefer to hear it fresh during the session.

Session Length: Some practitioners split the process into pre- and post-session meetings, while others combine everything into one session. Each practitioner operates independently, tailoring their approach to serve you best.

Attendance Options: You can attend in person, possibly have a home visit if needed, or opt for an online consultation via Zoom or a similar platform. This is a non invasive, conversational therapy, with a practical solution. 

The OldPain2Go® Session: During this open and honest two way conversation, the practitioner evaluates why your pain persists. They share insights, enabling you you to take decisive action. The practitioner guides you through a process that does not require trance, has your brain fully reconsider releasing unnecessary pain and tension, and if safe to do so, releases it immediately.

The Incredible Story of a Revolution

in how OLD PAIN can be made 2 GO

I'm Steven Blake, the Creator of OldPain2Go®

The Mission: Liberation from Chronic Pain

My mission with OldPain2Go® is straightforward: “To liberate as many people as possible from the grip of chronic pain.” I speak from personal experience, having dealt with back problems since childhood. Diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis and spinal arthritis at 38, I faced daily, severe pain and nerve discomfort. Having lived with pain for five decades, I empathize with its impact and cannot bear to see others suffer needlessly.

Adapting and Refining the Technique

In 2011, at age 58, I was retraining to become a therapist. During this process, I encountered a technique that had potential but also significant flaws. I adapted it for my own use, and remarkably, I have been free of Chronic Pain since that day. Over time, I refined the methodology, creating a process far removed from the original.

Thinking Differently, Daring to Challenge Conventional Unsuccessful Approaches 

I have always liked to understand things so well that I can explain them simply and have never been satisfied with "Nothing can be done," or "That's impossible."  As I could do something this dramatic for myself, then all I had to do was work out WHY it worked, right back to basic principles. Initially my work was based on practice, logic and observation, only more recently did I find the science is now clearly stating what I had already deduced and put to practical use 13 years ago.

Promoting Transformation Despite Challenges

Promoting my work posed challenges. Those who I helped find relief couldn’t always convince others of its power. Yet, driven by the impact it could have, I persisted and in 2016, I began running free pain clinics to hone my skills and explore evolving theories. My goal was to fully understand pain at a practical level, how to make it go away rather than merely manage it. I believed that if the brain recognised persistent pain as doing more harm than good, it could instantly stop sending pain signals. This theory proved repeatable and predictable in just one session.

Teaching OldPain2Go®: Empowering Others

Since November 2016, I’ve been teaching OldPain2Go®, sharing my skills and knowledge, empowering even more people to break free from pain. To date, 1,744 individuals have trained to help others using this transformative approach.

"I lived with persistent pain for 50 years, have been free of it since 2011 and been studying and developing pain removal for others ever since".  Steven Blake

The 6 Top Frequently ASKED Questions  (faq)

Q. Is it SAFE?

Answer. Yes totally. It works by the same internal processing by your unconscious that keeps you alive, runs your heart, your lungs and every other cell in your body. Together we just make it aware of that the pain is more of a problem,  than of help to you. Your body then makes the best choice for you. You can totally trust it because it has kept you alive all these years.

Q. Is this a Pain Management technique?

Answer. No. Pain management is about ongoing effort and rarely leaves you free of pain for more than a short duration.

Q. How often do I need treatment?

Answer. Typically, this is a once only session for that old pain. It works by you asking for the old pain messages to be stopped, therefore, it should not return, just as a deleted answer phone message cannot be played again and the tape is cleared to accept new messages. A second session would usually only be wanted if the first session didn't produce a result you are satisfied with, or the Practitioner feels there may be further opportunities for improvement in lowering pain levels.

Q. I have a deteriorating condition, how will it work on that?

Answer. In cases of deteriorating conditions, your medical practitioner most likely conducts regular assessments of the affected area. Think of OldPain2Go® as pressing the reset button on a fire alarm. Your body recognizes the past damage from the old incident and can reset the alarm, silencing it against reacting to an old problem. It will automatically sound again if there's deterioration or any new danger.

Q. Why haven't I heard of it until now?

Answer. As advances in science become more main stream you may have heard that Pain is part of our survival system and that the brain determines the level of the pain. You may also have heard of the biopsychosocial model of pain that OldPain2Go® is an excellent example of. While OldPain2Go® may not be widely mainstream yet, its simplicity, effectiveness, and focus on empowering individuals make it a promising avenue for chronic pain management. As awareness grows, more people will benefit from this innovative service. 

Q. How does it work on different age groups?

Answer. Any age providing they are old enough to understand logic. Even though people tend to have more aches and pains as they get older, these tend to be more related to moving less often and in a more limited way. That is not a barrier to pain going away which will help moving better and more often. End of life care (Palliative) is often painful as organs start to shut down, and with OldPain2Go® we see this as pain that serves no purpose and have experience of helping people have the last part of their life free of pain.
