Great customer service!
I reached out with a question and the team responded quickly and professionally.
New user
I just started the pathways program two weeks ago. I have not had any pain relief yet, however I feel less alone, and feel that I am doing something positive in my life that does not involve doctors and medications. I will review again in a couple of months.
Living again
My husband bought me this a couple years ago. I wasn't able to do much before. Now I'm coming and helping cook. Walking more doing more with family and enjoying life. When pain is there I am able to cope much better.
It helped
This app did help me manage some pain I had for a while. I went through the free sessions only. I am downloading the app again, because I had a decent experience and the pain is back. I might purchase the remaining sessions this time.
Brilliant app
This app I think is absolutely brilliant for the little they are charging for what you get, and I have tried a few courses on this topic and they have been good but cost a lot more. This is laid out simply but effectively. The owner has always replied back quickly on any questions I have had, really pleased.

Pathways
This app has been amazing compared to any other app available. The support and validation I have needed, it’s providing in a way I can understand. Thank you
Life-changing.
I’ve been struggling and suffering for over four years with debilitating pain. I’ve had this app just one week, and it’s already making a huge impact for me. I was starting to think I’d be disabled for life, but now I expect to make a full recovery!
Completely helped retrain my brain away from pain
I’ve been consistently using pathways for 6+ months and I’ve seen great improvement in my chronic pain. I’ve been to PTs for years, do all the exercises, but with my chronic illnesses and stress chronic pain was always persistent. Pathways helped educate me on chronic pain, how to retrain my brain and body, and does it all with beautiful videos/ meditations/challenges/ and support.

Amazing
This app should be used by every chronically ill person on the planet
It has helped out tremendously
I have suffered from chronic Pelvic pain for a year. It prevented me from doing many of the things I love. It even prevented me from spending time with loved ones. I went to several specialists that could not find anything wrong. Even one told me that I should be happy because I was the picture of perfect health and that all I needed to do was relax. I visited a physical therapist who specialized in pelvic floor physical therapy and helped me relax my pelvic floor. Unfortunately, I was still experiencing pain because of how long I was in pain. After an extended internet search I came across this app and from the very start I found it helped with reducing my pain significantly. As it suggests do not speed through the steps, take time after each step and practice each challenge several times before moving on to the next. I highly recommend this app to anyone who is experiencing chronic pain.

Include long Covid
Think it would be good to include long Covid in the list. Many of the examples used the word “pain” in relation to pains in your shoulder or knee, but skimmed over issues such as Chronic Fatigue.
Good app but also incredibly expensive for what it is.

Life-bettering is not an overstatement
This app has helped me to lower all of my pain numbers. It might seem to a new or possible user that it is because “it’s all in your head,” but the science of real pain allows you to turn that volume down. Absolute best and most meaningful app I’ve ever used. Worth the lifetime subscription hands down!

Thank you so much for the amazing review. We’re so delighted to read it and hear how Pathways has improved your pain levels. Well done to you, and thank you for taking the time to review us 😊😊
Keep looking around
While some of the videos about sensitization are very well done and educational, the application videos are not as useful.
I have been having problems with the videos playing since I got the app months ago. Apple will not refund my money even though the developer said they support the refund due to the constant problem of playing the videos.
I would not recommend buying an annual subscription to this app, rather watch and learn about sensitization on it and then go elsewhere for the content of how to treat it.

Hi Jen, sorry this didn’t work for you. We were unable to process the refund as the app was used for 2 months. We’re pretty sure we’ve resolved the intermittent video loading issue, but please do send a screenshot/recording if it’s still recurring. Wishing you the best in your recovery.
Great app but one bug bear
Love this app and how it explains chronic pain and the challenges too are really good. The only issue I have is that the notifications do not work. I’ve set up reminders for challenges to be notified daily and they don’t come up on my IPhone and IPad. I have notifications enabled in settings on both devices. Any help would be great 😊😊

Mixed thoughts
Elements are helpful, especially mindfulness and pain biology, but as with many pain management programmes there is a tendency to oversimplify the many complexities of chronic pain. Not all persistent pain occurs in the absence of harm/damage, and pushing through pain is not always harmless. Obviously this is a key principle for primary pain conditions such as fibromyalgia where the only problem is with pain perception, but for pain occurring secondary to tissue damage this is not always an appropriate strategy. Please make sure you confirm with your doctor that a program like this is suitable for you before you start.
Additionally the pain coach can come across as a little patronising at times - my partner (who does not have pain) had a very visceral dislike of her and felt she came across as bullying at times. Personally I felt she seemed nice and well meaning but definitely patronising.

Life changing!
I’ve tried everything for my chronic back pain. This approach is the only thing that’s worked!!! 6 years of back pain, healed after 4 months. My eternal thanks and gratitude.
Great app
I recommend this app to lots of people I meet - it’s very helpful for understanding how pain works and how to manage pain to the point where it isn’t restrictive to day to day activities. I still get pain but I’m much better than I was before I used the app and I’m on the way to making a full recovery

Amazing! Thank you so much for the review, and for recommending us - that’s the main way in which we’re able to grow & help more people. Wishing you ever improving health 😊😊🙏
Great app! Already helping.
Love the content, and it’s been very helpful, so I bought the premium membership.
The guided journey and meditations have both been helpful, and I’ve noticed a significant reduction in my pain and symptoms.

Give this app a try!!
If you’re dealing with pain, download this app. It’s definitely worth a try for anybody who is looking for a less medicinal way to relieve pain. I would like to add that in order for the techniques to be effective, you must be open minded and truly put some Commitment Into What this app has to offer. Most importantly just be open minded because there is information within that’s not widely known.. But if you don’t brush it off, and rather take it to heart, it could be the difference between pain and pain relief.
I have not experienced any technical difficulties using the app but I would suggest adding another option for who you want your host to be. The current lady is great but I’m sure more options would be beneficial to users.

Thanks so much for leaving us such a detailed and useful review! It’s really appreciated, and I hope Pathways continues to benefit you. With gratitude, Sandip & The Pathways Team
Amazing app, 5stars before the update !!
Brilliant app which essentially cured my debilitating arm problems last year, forever indebted! Thank you so much. Only quibble is just downloaded it again and the old structure and layout was soooo much simpler, cleaner and more reassuring!!! Is there any way to get it back whilst keeping the new section information (eg physio exs)? The transcripts and lack of video were amazing, also the quotes were easy to read and readers weren’t bombarded by 5million options😂 Sorry!....aware that so much work has gone into this and genuinely grateful for the app and its help but the old version -to me- functioned immeasurably better. Its simplicity made it stand out from other apps such as curable.
Please let me know if there’s a way I can access the old version....
