Hypnotherapy
A natural, drug-free approach to chronic pain and physical recovery
At Hobart Modern Hypnosis, we offer an advanced, mind-body approach to managing pain, accelerating healing, and restoring quality of life. Whether you’re suffering from chronic pain, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), or a lingering injury, our specialised hypnotherapy techniques can help you regain control and live with greater comfort.

Why Choose Hypnosis for Pain Relief?
Pain isn’t just physical, it’s processed by your brain. That means your mind plays a powerful role in how pain is felt, experienced, and managed. Hypnotherapy taps into the subconscious to change how your brain perceives pain, reduce tension, and promote healing from within.
At Hobart Modern Hypnosis, we don’t just help you cope, we aim to create real, lasting change by working with the part of the mind where pain is most deeply embedded.
Conditions We Support
Our hypnosis techniques have proven effective for a range of pain-related issues, including:
• Chronic pain (back pain, migraines, fibromyalgia)
• CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome)
• Sports injuries and delayed recovery
• Surgical recovery and rehabilitation
• Phantom limb pain
• IBS and other mind-body conditions
Why It Works When Nothing Else Has
Many of our clients come to us after trying everything else, medications, surgeries, physio, and years of treatment. Hypnosis offers a breakthrough by working at the unconscious level, where the root causes of ongoing pain often live.
Because we speak directly to the part of the mind responsible for automatic bodily responses, the results can be surprisingly fast and effective, even for long-standing conditions.

- How to build new healing-focused pathways in the brain
- Why working with the subconscious gets results faster
I suffered with lower back pain for 18 years. I decided to give hypnotherapy a try as my “last resort”. In a single two hour session, Steve was able to change the way I thought about and perceived the pain. He challenged my way of thinking about pain and showed me how I can manage it effectively. I am comfortable now and have a greater range of movement. The efficacy of hypnotherapy shouldn’t be underrated. I am so pleased with the results.

What types of pain can hypnosis help with?
Hypnotherapy can assist with many types of pain, including chronic pain (like migraines or lower back pain), Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), sports injuries, arthritis, nerve pain, and even post-surgical recovery. If your pain has a neurological, stress-related, or unexplained component, hypnosis may offer effective relief.
How does hypnosis relieve pain?
Hypnosis works by calming the nervous system and changing the way your brain perceives pain signals. It helps reduce physical tension, lower emotional stress, and retrain the brain’s pain pathways at the unconscious level, where automatic responses and habits are formed.
Is pain relief hypnosis scientifically proven?
Yes. Clinical studies show that hypnotherapy can significantly reduce pain levels, especially for conditions like fibromyalgia, IBS, and CRPS. Major hospitals and pain clinics around the world now include hypnosis as part of integrated pain management programs.
Will hypnosis cure my condition?
Hypnosis is not a cure for physical injury or disease, but it can significantly reduce pain, improve recovery, and enhance your quality of life. In many cases, clients report feeling better, sleeping more soundly, and becoming less reliant on medication.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your condition, your goals, and how your mind responds to the process. Some clients experience noticeable relief after 1–2 sessions, while others may benefit from a series of sessions for deeper or more complex issues.
Can hypnosis help after surgery or injury?
Many of our clients come to us after exhausting conventional treatments. Hypnosis offers a completely different approach, working with the unconscious mind — where pain patterns and emotional triggers often begin. When nothing else has worked, hypnosis can provide surprising and lasting relief.
Is hypnosis safe?
Yes. Hypnotherapy is a safe, non-invasive and drug-free method used in clinical settings around the world. At Hobart Modern Hypnosis, sessions are guided by a trained and experienced practitioner who works ethically and professionally with each client’s needs in mind.
