About Project
The Protectometer App is a revolutionary pain treatment tool based on the latest findings in pain science research.
It helps you deeply understand your pain and discover all the many factors (often surprising things) that contribute to why you hurt.
Whether you are experiencing ongoing back pain, neck pain, shoulder or knee pain, headaches, or have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome or any other chronic pain state, the Protectometer App will help reduce your pain.
Highlights
The Protectometer App is both an immersive application and an educational eBook containing a comprehensive explanation of why you hurt based on your ‘personal pain formula’.
You will have pain when there is ‘more credible evidence of danger to your body than credible evidence of safety’ – this is your ‘personal pain formula’. Nearly anything can provide credible evidence of danger, we calls these ‘DIMs’ (Danger In Me) – the diagnosis you have been given, the words you say, seeing your X-ray or scans, biological processes occurring in your body, even the people you meet and the places you go.
But you can counter DIMs by finding ‘SIMs’ (Safety In Me) – these are the things that make you feel stronger, better, healthier and more confident.
By using the Protectometer App you will:
- Uncover your DIMs and SIMs
- Recognise your DIM/SIM balance and understand why you are hurting
- Take Challenges to reduce the power of the DIMs in your life
- Undertake carefully designed tasks to find more SIMs and reduce your pain
- Track your progress over time
- Know how to ‘power up’ therapies, especially movement and exercise
