Pathways Pain Relief
When pain lasts for longer than 3 months, our body's pain system can start becoming overactive and overprotective. Sounding the alarm (pain!) all too often. But there are steps we can take to retrain your brain, and turn down the volume on pain.
We've helped patients with all different types of diagnosis reduce pain. The most common diagnosis include:
Back pain
Migraines/headaches
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
Neck Pain
Fibromyalgia
Joint Pain
Digestive Issues
Shoulder Pain
Here are some of the key techniques you'll find in the Pathways program:
Pain science education
Diaphragmatic breathing
Visualizations & Graded Imagery
Physical Exercise
Meditations
Mindfulness Exercises
Stress Reducing Exercises
Your personal pain therapist will take you on your own journey to understanding why you feel pain, and work to break the pain cycle.
You can track how your pain develops over time, and focus on the pain relief techniques that work for you.

It really changed my life. My whole outlook and approach to my pain has changed and after 3 weeks it has started to vanish. A fantastic app, I am already spreading the word, I think this can make a difference for a lot of people. One piece of feedback: it would be cool, if the sessions would be ordered by type after you did them in the session list - all visualizations in one place, all workouts etc. Any maybe a facial hair option for the avatar ; ) in any case: I cannot thank you enough, this thing is priceless. Love you guys! : )
Excellent for chronic pain sufferers. It has helped me to rewire my brain to deal with a severe back injury which I'm now at the tail end of. However this app is more than dealing with pain. It's about neuroplasticity which is now helping me eliminate vertigo and tinnitus. Definitely worth the subscription as they are constantly updating content.
WOW the whole app changed since I been thinking of doing it. Is there no more old sessions? What happened to the old sessions? I know I tested the old 10 free sessions & loved them, but was not ready to use the app & now everything change. As well as why can't your app be moved to the sd card? It takes too much space on the internal space when you are low on space. The app keeps crashing because my phone is low on space as there is no way to move it to the SD card.
This app has been very helpful so far. There are so many different options offered and I feel like they "get it" when it comes to pain. And any issues you can email for a fix and the creator himself replies very quickly. You can also suggest improvements that get voted on and many are put into action by the developers. They are always improving the app. I never pay for apps but I did end up subscribing to this one to unlock all the content after stopping progress a while back.
I just couldn't get into it. I found the videos tedious and havw many other things to do each day that it was lowest on my priority scale. Maybe I'll try this again when I retire as (MAYBE?) have more time or my Chronic Pain gets so bad that I'lll try anything, To be honest, I only tried this because I agreed to participate in a study.
Had a problem but it was handled very quickly. Great app!
The techniques taught in this app enables you to fight certain ailments that conventional medicine doesn't help much with. It's backed by scientific principles and makes them easy for anyone to understand. I've interacted with the founder of the app and he's friendly and helpful. While the functionality in the app needs some improvements to meet some needs for me, I've added one extra star because of my positive experience interacting with the founder.
The audio stops itself even before reaching the end. It just kicked me out and asking to continue to the next session. Really irritating, i can't stand it. It didn't happen before 5-6 sessions ago, up to that point the other audio sessions have this glitch. Please fix this!
I'm frustrated with all these apps that overcharge for a regular prescription to a fixed amount of resources. This one doesn't even mention the cost until the last audio session which all basically tell you why their program would help you without giving you any tools or practice advice whatsoever. It's very discouraging and all gives the impression that poor people will never get well because they can't afford these specific apps.
A white background with black text, can exacerbate or even trigger a bad pain episode, simply by causing eyestrain. For people with chronic pain conditions that are triggered by too much bright screen time, it renders your program nearly impossible to use, and there's no apparent way to change it. Please help
Fed up with the new Pathways app! WHY did it go all video? I used to like listening to sessions with my eyes closed and phone screen off, now I can't. Lost all my favourites, lost my journey, and so far I'm not liking the new journey sessions as they don't sound as empathetic. Just great :-(
This app is beyond my expectations, I tried Curable but it wasn't for me, Pathways is a great app, full of precious information (Which give me a new awareness and a different meaningful prospective) and effective exercises, I am experiencing some improvements, they really focus on the links between brain, pain and body, thank you guys!
I can't thank n recommend this app enough to anyone with pain. I've had back pain for years due to a disc bulge. I've been using a crutch for last 9 months, n was in agony after doing simple tasks. Two weeks into using the app and I had a fun filled weekend with my son, doing things I wouldn't even attempt before because of the pain. I was even able to go out shopping without my crutch n not be in anywhere near as much pain, during or afterwards. Thank you so much, I now have hope for my future.
Restoring my original rating because the Pathways team contacted me re: my previous review, and because after a month of usage, I've found that this app really is the best source around for chronic pain relief. I've tried Curable and Alan Gordon's recovery plan on the TMS Wiki (both of which basically teach the same principles/techniques as Pathways), but Pathways is better overall in its structure, providing convincing research/facts, and at offering a greater number of pain relief techniques.
Amazing app that helps you to feel better and find relief. New functionality is awesome, finally you added video body exercises, so I can manage my neck-pain after long computer sitting sessions. Just amazing and helpful!
This app improved my life immeasurably. I'm 25yrs old, have been dealing with chronic pain in both knees for nearly 5yrs. Every step I took would give me terrible pain, it impacted me physically & mentally, I never wanted to use my legs. No physio, sports dr., specialist could help. I found Pathways & it changed my entire perception of pain. I've been using it religiously for 4 months now & I'm happy to say I can hike, jog, skip with almost no pain, getting better every day. Thank you so much..
I absolutely love this app. I have lyme disease, osteoarthritis, scoliosis, and use a cane to walk. There is little doctors can do for me. I can feel so powerless at times. This app empowers me. I am able to do the visualizations and self talk. There's so much I can't do but this app gives me the priceless gift of hope that I can have control over my pain.
I have lived with chronic back pain for 3 years and it's been a few weeks since I started using on this app and I am no longer afraid of pain. I have a different outlook and feel like I'm in control and I decide if the pain I'd necessary or not. P.S. It's not! I tried every other treatment before this with little result. thank you
I love the app. My pain is so much better. And I am so much more present in life. I am addressing issues that needed it for some time. It is so worth it. My only issue is I want to change my plan from monthly, but there's no change option. And I haven't received a response from email.
Was starting to use previous version and was happy so far...there was a recent update and I can't use the app at all! Won't log in, won't let you use "forget password" and won't let me create a new account because app keeps closing! Can you bring back old version please??
It's so buggy I can't use it. Crashes all the time. Please fix.
I can't believe how helpful this app was. I've suffered from RSI and all these pain are just psychological and it can suppress real physical pain just like painkillers. I'm completely healed now after repeatedly performing the 6th video when there is pain. I still want to explore as I can use this in the future incase anything happens to me again and would love to buy the premium but I'm still saving😬 I love how they use scientific evidence to support this program and damn it's very effective😭
This is a fantastic tool to help you gain various coping strategies for a multitude of ailments in life. I started using it for the management of Chronic pain, which after a day I have already started referring to it as persistent pain. Really easy to use, fantastic videos, tips, useful tasks all backed up by scientific and patient based evidence. Subscribed immediately, very happy indeed. Thank you guys, this is amazing.
