Painfree by Reducept

Living with chronic pain, back pain or migraine? Painfree helps you understand why pain persists and teaches you to train your brain to reduce it. Without medication, step by step and at your own pace.

Painfree brings Reducept's pain education to your phone. The same method has been used for more than five years in over 200 healthcare institutions, including hospitals, physiotherapy practices and rehabilitation centres. More than 15,000 people have gone before you. Of them, 79% reported being able to stop using medication, return to work and experience a clear improvement in quality of life.

YOUR PAIN IS REAL. SO IS YOUR INFLUENCE.
Persistent pain is not only about your body, but also about how your brain processes signals. Once you understand how that works, you regain control. Painfree explains it in plain language and gives you exercises to do something about it yourself.
