Pain Neuroscience Education in West London
What is PNE?
Pain Neuroscience Education is a modern scientific strategy to help you reduce/ eliminate chronic pain perception. By expanding your knowledge of how pain works I can help you rethink your experience of persistent pain.
This knowledge, especially when combined with TRE and Cognitive Hypnotherapy for chronic pain, will create new neural pathways away from pain, and towards comfort and ease.
Pain Neuroscience Education aims to help you connect your mind more effectively to your body, decrease catastrophisation, boost your confidence, increase your ability to find safety in your body, and help you to pinpoint areas of your life that may be contributing to your pain perception- with the intention of creating change in these areas. It can help improve your quality of life, whatever your current situation.
PNE helps to reduce brain activity in brain regions associated with pain, decrease fear of movement, and improve pain thresholds during exercise and daily life.
PNE is an effective therapy for anxiety related to pain.
PNE can result in immediate and long lasting positive change to your pain perception, enabling you to live a full, confident, pain free life.
According to NICE, pain drugs do more harm than good for people with persistent pain. They have also concluded that there is ‘little or no evidence that they made any difference to people’s quality of life, pain or psychological distress, and there was evidence that they can cause addiction.’
There is a better way to approach chronic pain.
Watch leading Pain Scientist Lorimer Mosely talk about the Explain Pain approach.

“A review here and 5 stars really seems inadequate for what Ella is able to provide - we all need her and what she is able to provide and her kindness and understanding!
We are all so detached from our bodies, and holding in so much stress and trauma and Ella has all the knowledge and skills needed to compassionately explain what is happening and how to improve. ”
