The Mindset Companion App for Pain Management Clinics
Chronic pain affects more than joints and muscles: it can change emotional regulation, cognitive patterns, and autonomic tone.
Limitless helps clinics deliver brain-body rewiring mindset tools designed to ease stress-related pain, regulate tone, and enhance patient well-being across the full care continuum.
“Limitless is an invaluable addition to our multi-modality treatment approach. We believe that empowering patients to actively participate in their mental health journey is an important part of the healing process. Limitless helps our patients to prepare for their ketamine therapy, navigate their mindset during sessions and provides a safe container for them to continue to do the work in-between treatments,."
What’s Often Missing from a Chronic Pain Treatment Plan
Chronic Pain Rewires the Brain and the Mind
Over time, chronic pain doesn’t just affect the body. It changes how the brain processes sensation, how the mind interprets it, and how the nervous system responds. This often leads to a cycle where pain is felt more intensely, even when the physical stimulus is minor, or absent.
As pain persists, maladaptive metacognition can take root. Patients begin to ruminate on their symptoms, anticipate the worst, or feel helpless in their healing. This internal loop, where pain, fear, and expectation feed each other, can reinforce the very neural pathways that keep pain active.
The result? A patient whose nervous system is wired for pain, even when imaging looks clear. Medications, injections, and physical therapy may offer temporary relief, but without addressing the brain–body feedback loop, the system often resets to pain as its baseline.This is where many providers feel stuck—chasing symptoms that don’t show up on scans.
- Fear-based interpretations of pain
- Chronic muscle tension and protective guarding
- Negative thought loops, self-talk and catastrophizing
- Persistent fight-or-flight activation in response to perceived stress
These maladaptive nervous system patterns are not easily interrupted by medications, injections, or physical therapy alone.
Limitless addresses this internal environment with evidence-aligned, audio-guided tools that help patients retrain their response to pain, reducing reactivity, building internal resilience, and enhancing the effectiveness of the care you already provide.
Why Mindset Matters in Chronic Pain Treatment Plans
- Patients with elevated cortisol and low vagal tone often experience more frequent flare-ups and slower healing.
- Rumination and negative self-talk have been linked to amplified pain signals via central processing centers.
- Studies on heart rate variability (HRV) suggest that improved parasympathetic activity can reduce chronic pain expression.
- Psychological flexibility and reframing of pain-related beliefs are associated with increased function and reduced medication use.
Limitless integrates these findings into patient-facing, audio-guided tools, built for clinical use. Everything is designed to help patients:
- Activate self-regulation
- Build metacognitive awareness
- Reconnect with a sense of agency in their healing process
Transformative Pain Care for the Whole Patient
Enhance your pain management model with scalable mindset interventions. Limitless Mindset Companion App equips clinics with guided techniques that integrate seamlessly into treatment protocols, targeting the biopsychosocial dimensions of pain.
Guided Mindset Tools That Meet Patients Where They Are
Patients say that Limitless helps them feel more grounded before treatment and more at ease during difficult moments. Sessions can be selected based on intention or need, offering accessible support in real time.
Techniques for Self-Regulation
Research highlights the role of relaxation and breathwork in pain modulation. Limitless introduces these techniques in a way that helps them become second nature - easy for patients to access, apply, and repeat without added complexity.
Whole-Person Care
Limitless supports clinics practicing within the biopsychosocial model by offering mindset-based tools that align with pain neuroscience education, polyvagal-informed care, and nervous system regulation strategies.
Informed by Research. Designed for Real Life.
Shaped by insights from pain science, metacognition, and nervous system regulation, and by the unspoken experiences patients often struggle to articulate. These practices are designed to meet real-world needs and fit naturally into clinical care models.
Why Mindset Support Matters in Pain Care
Pain is influenced by attention, stress, memory, and emotional meaning. Two people with the same diagnosis can experience it in entirely different ways. That’s why pain management is more effective when paired with mindset tools that help patients regulate their nervous system and relate to their symptoms with greater awareness and flexibility.
Self-Regulation
Provides patients with tools to downshift nervous system tone and manage internal reactivity, both passively and through active self-guided techniques.
Emotional Safety
Helps patients recognize and work with difficult feelings that often arise alongside pain, without judgment or emotional shutdown.
Metacognitive Engagement
Promotes greater awareness of how thoughts, beliefs, and interpretations shape pain perception - creating space for new responses.
Pain & Brain Health
Supports present-moment attention and reduces automatic responses to discomfort, intrusive thoughts, or flare-related stress.
Clinics offering our 12-month plan include full access to the Mindset Matters Portal, a toolkit of mindset activities proven to support engagement and self-regulation over time.
This platform offers guided mindset support to boost emotional resilience, balance the nervous system, and keep patients engaged throughout their treatment plan.
As patients improve their nervous system regulation through mindset training, they become more receptive to treatment outcomes. With better brain-body regulation, patients can process their treatment experiences more effectively, enhancing their ability to engage with care, manage setbacks, and develop a more adaptive relationship with pain over time.
“Using Limitless helped me feel more in tune and in control during my treatments. I wasn’t as overwhelmed and for the first time in a long time, I felt like I could actually participate in my own healing rather than just enduring it.”
See the Difference Mindset Support Can Make in Pain Care
Chronic pain patients often arrive carrying more than just physical discomfort — they bring tension, emotional strain, and patterned stress responses that influence how care unfolds. This side-by-side view shows how introducing simple mindset tools can change the tone of treatment, from intake to integration.

Research on Brain-Body Techniques in the Limitless App
Various methods to support diverse learning styles, incorporating both passive and active strategies for self-regulation.
Stress Recovery
Over time, brain-body resilience improves with mindset support, enabling patients to reframe maladaptive thoughts and adjust their metacognition for greater adaptability and flexibility in response to stressors.
Increase HRV
Techniques like Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) have been shown to improve heart rate variability, which may help regulate autonomic tone and support pain-related nervous system balance.
Parasympathetic Activation
Uses self-soothing techniques to help patients manage sensory input and shift into parasympathetic activation, often disrupted by chronic pain. Calming music, guided narratives, and breathwork support vagal tone and emotional regulation.
Reduce Cortisol Levels
Guided imagery supports nervous system down-regulation by helping patients redirect attention away from stress and pain-related triggers. These techniques can promote relaxation and reduce stress. Research shows it may reduce cortisol levels by up to 32%.
FAQs for Chronic Pain Management Clinicians
Wondering if this is right for your patients and practice? We hope this helps answer any lingering questions. If not, please to reach out.
Does this replace medication, physical therapy, or injections?
No. Limitless is designed to complement your existing protocols - not replace them. It addresses the mindset, emotional, and nervous system components of pain that often go unaddressed but significantly impact outcomes and recovery.
Does my staff need to be trained?
Limitless is built for ease. It integrates into your current workflow with minimal lift from your team. Self-guided onboarding materials, clinician-facing resources, and optional provider portal training are all available if your team wants to go deeper.
What equipment do we need to use Limitless?
All patients need is the Limitless app on their device and a quiet space if using in-clinic. If playing audio in the room, a tablet or speaker is helpful, but not required. Our resources support flexible use in both solo and staff-guided settings.
How does patient access work?
Your clinic receives a bundle of licenses based on the program tier. Patients are onboarded with guidance, access to the app, and supporting tools like the Comfort Menu or After-Care summaries, depending on your clinic’s model.
What are some of Limitless app outcomes reported by patients and clinics?
Clinics and patients have reported improvements such as:
‣ Deeper engagement with the full care plan, from start to finish
‣ Improved ability to reframe unhelpful thoughts
‣ Higher patient-reported satisfaction and trust in care
‣ Greater resilience to stress between treatments
How does mindset training support chronic pain relief in clinical settings?
Mindset training can reduce the intensity and frequency of chronic pain by helping patients regulate their nervous system, reframe pain-related beliefs, and interrupt the stress-pain cycle.
Studies show that integrating techniques like guided imagery, breathwork, and cognitive reframing can enhance outcomes when used alongside medical treatments.
How is Limitless different from general meditation or music apps?
Limitless is built with the neuroscience of pain and the lived experience of patients in mind. Unlike generic wellness apps, it’s designed to support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and metacognitive awareness in the context of treatment. Sessions are structured to meet patients where they are, and are shaped by what actually shows up in real clinical environments.
Do patients actually use it?
Yes! Especially when introduced during appointments and reinforced with provider language. Clinics that frame Limitless as part of the care experience report strong adoption, particularly when tools are woven into pre-care and after-care routines.
Can this support patients who are resistant to mindset work?
Yes. Patients who are hesitant about traditional mindfulness approaches often respond better when the tools are positioned as part of their pain management strategy.
Limitless is research-informed, and doesn’t require buy-in to a particular belief system.
We recommend framing it like this:
“This is a practical tool to help your nervous system settle so your body can respond better to treatment.”
How quickly do patients tend to respond to the tools?
Some patients report feeling more grounded or emotionally settled after just one session. Often they experience more gradual shifts with repeated use.
