Frequently Asked Questions

Pep isn’t just a symptom tracker or mindfulness app. It’s a full experience built specifically for chronic pain, combining the latest research-backed therapies — like Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Graded Exposure Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — in a fun, emotionally supportive way. It’s also more affordable than traditional treatment routes.
Many users use Pep *alongside* physical therapy, medical care, or counseling. If you’re not sure what’s best for you, we always recommend checking with your doctor.
Pep works best for **chronic pain without a clear structural cause**, like back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, migraines, pelvic pain, joint pain, nerve pain and more. If you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to help, there’s a good chance your nervous system may be playing a bigger role than you think — and that’s where Pep comes in.
Yes, and it might be one of the best times to try it. Pep has special sessions designed for flares, as well as gentle exercises to help bring your system out of panic.
Pep draws from:

- Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)
- Graded Exposure Therapy (GET)
- Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

All evidence-based. All delivered gently.
Healthy skepticism is welcome! But we do ask that you stay open enough to try the exercises. You might be pleasantly surprised..
