A self-paced course that helps you build practical skills for everyday life with persistent pain, and, when you're ready, for staying in or returning to work.
Built on established, evidence-based approaches to persistent pain, including pacing, pain science education, and acceptance-based skills. The Pain Coach is an educational and coaching tool, not a substitute for your own healthcare team.
Chronic pain affects energy, sleep, movement, mood and work. The Pain Coach brings evidence-based self-management into short, manageable sessions you can do on low-energy days, whatever the cause of your pain.
Short daily sessions on pain science, pacing, sleep, movement and managing flares, designed to build confidence step by step.
An AI-assisted coach to help you apply what you're learning to your own situation, whether that's a pacing question, a difficult day, or planning ahead.
Optional guidance on pacing at work, managing flares, reasonable adjustments and returning to work, at your pace, and only if it's relevant to you.
Self-paced, private, and built for how chronic pain actually feels day to day.
A short setup helps the programme meet you where you are today, with no assumptions and no pressure.
Bite-sized modules you can pause and return to. Missed a day during a flare? Nothing is lost, and nothing locks.
Simple check-ins build a picture of your progress over time. It is yours to keep, and to share with your GP or work coach if you choose.
The Pain Coach is a digital self-management and vocational-support tool for adults with chronic primary pain, including fibromyalgia. It was developed by a UK GP and is grounded in recognised evidence-based frameworks.
Built around established approaches including NICE guidance on chronic pain, pacing and graded activity, pain neuroscience education, and acceptance-based skills.
Combines pain self-management with practical, optional return-to-work support: pacing at work, reasonable adjustments, and phased return.
Captures validated self-report measures over time, giving users their own progress record and supporting service evaluation.
