Pain Management Coaching Program

Override's Coaching Program

You may have tried every pain treatment under the sun and found that nothing works for you. The resulting hopelessness and frustration – with your doctor and perhaps with yourself – is all too common.

Our chronic pain management coaching program offers a bridge to help you overcome the challenges of chronic pain. Our coaches are specially trained in pain neuroscience and have experience helping even the most stuck individuals who have been in pain for years and years. We help you uncover your inner strengths, abilities, and values to change your experience with pain and uncover your potential to live a fuller life.  

In the Override coaching program, you will learn how functional, behavioral, and lifestyle choices affect pain.  And you will learn techniques and inner skills that gradually transform you from a passive patient, who is dependent on others, into a self-manager of your own health.

Why coaching for chronic pain?

Learning to manage chronic pain is like mastering a new skill—it takes guidance, practice, and persistence. It’s similar to how a coach would help someone improve their tennis game or singing voice.

And just like with learning any new skill or forming a new habit, learning to manage pain takes education, understanding, and consistent practice. The accountability of an Override coach as your partner in this journey is so crucial.

While you can read books or take classes on pain science and try to apply the concepts to your own recovery, many people aren’t able to break through from just that. Partnering with a coach leads to faster and more lasting progress.

How it works

Delivery of our evidence-based program is entirely virtual, making it available to you from the comfort of home.

  • 30-minute individual coaching sessions with a designated coach to enable support and accountability, set and adjust goals, encourage lifestyle changes, and promote ongoing learning.

  • Weekly 1-hour group coaching sessions in a group that supports, understands and encourages you as you work to integrate new tools and skills into day-to-day life.

  • Our pain neuroscience curriculum teaches you about pain & the brain, as well as approaches you can use to calm the central nervous system and reduce systems.

Testimonials

I wasn’t sure at first how it would work but it was smooth as butter. I learned a lot about myself – what I could do to help myself, how I can help myself with my toolbox, that medication isn’t always the answer.
Tammi
I am extremely satisfied after 1 month. Plan on being involved for the long term. My care team and the group support is outstanding. Double thumbs up to all!
Matt
When I first came into this program, I was always running into a  wall. Then I learned that WE create our own “walls." Things are always more positive than they seem.
Mike
I am nowhere near that black hole I was in last year at this time. I feel so accomplished!
Dianna
The program changed my whole life and I’m so grateful!

Pain ruled my life . . . I was in pain and depressed. I was afraid to leave the house in case of injury. But after the program it got better . . . I lived without pain and left that recliner. I play volleyball with friends every week. I’m healthier and happier than I have ever been!
Mary Ellen
Thank you for giving me my life back.

Your content and methods were magnificent, but the most important aspect was the kindness and empathy you showed me.
Max
The coaches are amazing at explaining pain education.

This program has surprised me. I never realized I had control over my mind and breathing to decrease the pain.
Patty
I’ve had pain for 16 years, and nobody has ever explained it to me this way.

I learned about the sympathetic / parasympathetic nervous system and how tapping into the parasympathetic nervous system helps. It makes so much sense.
Robyn
I joined as a client who felt broken and hopeless, and graduated a year later with a renewed lease on life—having just completed my first 5K run.

The most powerful tool in my self-management toolbox was learning how neuroplasticity makes it possible for me to adapt and retrain my brain.
Alice
I look back and shudder at what my life was before.... It’s radically different now—no longer defined by pain.

Rather than focusing on the pain, I see what I’m able to accomplish. I absolutely recommend this to anyone who is suffering with pain—at any level of pain.
Jim
I can see all around me people who need this brilliantly-constructed program. As much as we pain patients search for help, this really is like stepping out of the dark.

My wish is for everyone to be as fortunate as I have become.
Lyn

I am unable to find the words to properly describe how phenomenally helpful my sessions have been.

I have received more tools and knowledge in the last five weeks than I have from dozens of providers over the last 20 years

Mary Ellen

I have been very impressed with the care my complex patient received...

who had a TBI and multiple injuries to various body parts and multiple DSM-5 diagnoses including PTSD… In fact he did so well that he will start training in May to become a pain coach.

Gabriel Schonwald, MD

Being part of a person's transformation . . .

. . . is quite possibly the most exciting and satisfying thing I've ever had the privilege of being a part of."

Becka Buchanan, Health & Wellness Coach

Override takes the most important elements of pain management . . .

. . . and enhances clinical care by combining them into a seamless patient experience. I say this as someone who has cared for patients suffering from chronic pain since 1989, and involved in developing pain medicine software since 2008."

We are seeing incredible results in arguably the hardest subgroups of patients...

...and when we apply this model of care to less complex cases, the results will be incredible."

Chad Shafer, DPT

This program is a critical part of the treatment plan of so many chronic pain patients.

One patient who desperately wanted a second surgery was reluctant to go through coaching, but after 3 months [in your program], her pain improved 50-75%, she was sleeping and functioning better, and she now comes to appointments smiling and saying this program gave her back her life. She no longer wants surgery."

Jeffrey Hazlewood, M.D.

Override provides the support patients need to overcome chronic pain physically, mentally, and socially.

The use of a personalized, dynamic approach is exciting and sorely needed for pain management."
