Ashley Pehar | Specialized Care for Chronic Primary Pain
Retrain persistent pain patterns. Restore trust in your body.
Life in Motion is a specialized nervous system-informed practice integrating osteopathic care and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) to support people experiencing chronic pain, persistent stress patterns, tension syndromes, and nervous system overload.
When Pain Persists, It’s Not Always Structural
Chronic primary pain is real pain driven by an overprotective nervous system rather than ongoing tissue damage. It often continues despite normal imaging, repeated treatments, or reassurance that “nothing is wrong.”
Over time, the nervous system can become sensitized and overprotective, contributing not only to persistent pain, but also patterns of fatigue, tension, hypervigilance, overwhelm, and reduced resilience under stress.
Life in Motion offers a structured framework to help the brain and body unlearn these patterns using evidence-informed Pain Reprocessing Therapy alongside skilled osteopathic care.
Who This Practice Supports
For Chronic Pain & Persistent Symptoms
- Chronic back, neck, or joint pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Fatigue/tension
- Persistent symptoms without clear findings
- Flare cycles
- Symptoms that worsen with stress/fear
If you’ve tried multiple treatments without lasting relief, or feel stuck in cycles of flare-ups, symptom management, and uncertainty about what to do next, a structured nervous system–informed approach may offer a different path forward.
For High Performers, Entrepreneurs & Leaders
High functioning on the outside. Running on overdrive underneath.
Supporting ambitious individuals navigating chronic stress, burnout, overthinking, tension, overfunctioning, and nervous system depletion through a nervous system-informed approach focused on sustainable capacity, regulation, and self-trust.
- Chronic stress and difficulty powering down
- Burnout, overdrive, and nervous system exhaustion
- Patterns of overthinking, overfunctioning, and persistent tension
For Organizations and Teams
Sustainable performance requires nervous system capacity
Interactive workshops designed to help teams better understand stress, communication under pressure, burnout, nervous system regulation, and sustainable performance in high-demand environments.
- Burnout prevention and recovery
- Communication and reactivity under pressure
- Leadership, regulation, and team dynamics

A Collaborative, Evidence-Informed Approach
Pain Reprocessing Therapy is an evidence-based model now being adopted within major academic centres such as University Health Network and Toronto Rehabilitation Institute. Combined with osteopathic care, it offers a comprehensive way to address both body and brain in persistent pain.
Care at Life in Motion is trauma-sensitive, structured, and collaborative. The process requires curiosity, consistency, and active participation — not perfection
