Most tools target where pain is felt - the muscle, joint, or fascia. But pain isn't made in the body- your nervous system creates it to warn you. Like smell doesn't live in your nose, pain doesn't live in your tissues.

Your nervous turns pain on to protect you - and off when it feels safe again. It works in the background, always scanning for danger. Just like smell fades when it's no longer a threat, pain should too.

When pain persists, it doesn't always mean there is damage. It often means your nervous system has not realised it's safe again. Worry, stress, and lack of sleep and/or movement are known to keep the system on high alert.

Your nervous system constantly scans your body and environment for signs of safety or threat. To let go of pain, you need consistent signals that you're safe. Pocket Physio provides gentle sensory, calming, and safety messages from the pain site designed to support your body's inbuilt regulation system.

Your brain and body are constantly adapting. Even long-standing patterns of pain can shift, which often requires you to change how you approach the problem. This might be the change you haven't considered yet, and it might be why you are still in pain.
