Resolving pain and trauma
at the Pain Recovery clinic

Joolz Flynn BSc, SEP, CThA, is a trained, qualified and highly experienced practitioner working with people who suffer from physical, emotional and mental pain.  Her work combines physical bodywork with Somatic Experiencing® and other approaches to resolving the effects of overwhelming stress and trauma.

Physical discomfort or pain can result from accident or injury, and may be causing, or caused by, overwhelming stress.  Joolz uses hands-on bodywork including myofascial release, trigger point therapy and massage, in all of which she is extensively trained, and herself a trainer, to provide physical relief.  She is also trained to an advanced level in Bowen Technique and other bodywork techniques.

Joolz uses Somatic Experiencing® to resolve nervous system responses to overwhelming stress and traumatic events.  The focus is here on re-regulating the nervous system’s unconscious responses so that normal life can be resumed.  Trauma and overwhelm can result in unresolved chronic pain, shock and anxiety, mood disturbances, and difficulty relating to others.  There is more information about this on the ‘Trauma’ page.

In addition to Somatic Experiencing® Joolz is also trained in Brainspotting, the tracking of eye movements to access and resolve traumatic brain states, and NARM, Neuro Affective Relational Model, a trauma resolution method for attachment, relational and developmental trauma.  She is a certified practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming (INLPTA), regulating the relationships between how we think (neuro), how we communicate (linguistic) and our emotions and behaviours (programmes).  She uses these to look at what is helpful and unhelpful in our thinking, communicating and behaviours, so that we can increase our choices in life.
