The OldPain2Go® Approach

OldPain2Go® is an alternative approach for managing chronic pain that aligns with all the aspects of modern chronic pain studies. While it's important to note that OldPain2Go® is not a traditional medical treatment and may not have undergone the same level of rigorous scientific validation, there are the commonalities between its principles and modern scientific understandings of chronic pain:

Psychosocial Approach: OldPain2Go® emphasizes the role of psychological and emotional factors of why their chronic pain has persisted, and provides the client with an understanding that may lower their fear, tension and ultimately pain.

  • This approach aligns with modern research highlighting the influence of psychosocial factors such as stress, anxiety, and emotional trauma on pain perception and persistence.

Mind-Body Connection: OldPain2Go recognizes the mind-body connection and how the brain's perception of pain can be influenced by psychological factors.

  • This concept is in line with modern pain science, which acknowledges the intricate interplay between the nervous system, brain activity, and pain perception.

Neuroplasticity: The OldPain2Go approach involves guiding individuals to change their thought patterns and beliefs about pain.

  • This concept resonates with the idea of neuroplasticity in modern pain studies, which suggests that the brain's neural pathways can be modified to influence pain experiences.

Placebo and Nocebo Effects: OldPain2Go's emphasis on belief and expectation aligns with the placebo and nocebo effects seen in modern research. These effects demonstrate how psychological factors can contribute to changes in pain perception and outcomes.

Holistic Perspective: OldPain2Go takes a holistic approach, addressing both the physical and psychological dimensions of pain.

  • This aligns with modern pain management's shift towards multidisciplinary and comprehensive approaches that recognize pain as a complex and multifaceted phenomenon.

Patient Empowerment: OldPain2Go empowers individuals to take an active role in managing their pain.

  • This approach resonates with modern pain science, which acknowledges the importance of patient engagement and self-management strategies in chronic pain care.

Mindfulness and Relaxation: OldPain2Go incorporates relaxation and mindfulness techniques, which are supported by modern research for their potential to reduce pain perception, stress, and anxiety.

However, it's important to emphasize that while OldPain2Go shares the concepts with modern pain science, it lacks the extensive scientific validation that traditional medical treatments undergo. This is because OldPain2Go® is not a medicine, not a diagnosis, not a Pain Management technique, its sole aim is to have the body review its need for pain and at what level. To do that involves analysis of the thought patterns that may be causing the pain to remain despite there being no physical damage. Reasons are given to the client why the pain may be staying and why the body thinks that is helpful, and the lack of it actually being protective is pointed out. The important factor is to have the client feel safe in moving the body normally and understanding the pain serves no purpose.


Modern pain management approaches often rely on evidence-based practices backed by rigorous clinical trials and peer-reviewed research. Individuals considering OldPain2Go should approach it with an open mind, understanding its potential benefits and limitations. It's recommended to consult with healthcare professionals before pursuing any alternative pain management approach and to explore options that are supported by a strong scientific foundation.
