Julie's story

Pain Rehabilitation Center

Julie Maxson, patient: I kept hearing myself say in my head, "I can't do this anymore. I just can't do this anymore."

So much of the messaging that we might have heard is, there's nothing wrong with you physically. This is in your head, or that's the implication.

I ended up here, and I'm so glad I did.

One of the important parts of the PRC is that there are ways we can retrain the brain. I began to see my body as a team member instead of an adversary. I'm happy to say that after going through the Pain Rehab Program, it was very obvious that I went from somebody who was really kind of depressed about my future to somebody who just sees so much possibility now.

Every day I took something away. Every day was worth being there for.
