Start to see pain from a new perspective that actually begins to change the pattern of pain. Elise Cusimano weaves together education on the latest chronic pain science with body-based practices that reshape the nervous system and turn down the dial.
Why Work with Elise Cusimano?
Most pain management is not comprehensive and informed enough to really help change the brain - where pain is created as protection. Elise’s approach helps both understand and apply the way out.
Her approach is down-to-earth and personal, with the right amount of professional experience and persistence to feel the result.

Equity-Based Offerings
Elise's goal is to advance the greater mission of health equity in all things access from cost and session format to the no-cost tools we use.
What Makes This Approach Different
It's in the last 10-20 years that chronic, enduring pain has been studied with surprising result: only the nervous systems estimation of and response to our injuries can create the kind of pain that behaves this way.
The good news? If our nervous system can learn to signal pain, it can also unlearn it.
Pain Recovery fits well alongside an already-established care team with expertise in structural treatment. This work is the missing piece of your care that so many doctors recognize, but the system is not set up to offer.
