Chronic pain sucks. Our team felt this firsthand, and enlisted a world class team of pain experts to design a 12-week curated program designed to take you from pain state, to flow state “Flowly helps manage not only the physical aspects of living with pain and anxiety, but also offers invaluable support to overcome the mental challenges that come along with it.” -Dr. Aman Mahajan, Chair of Perioperative Medicine at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center “Flowly’s virtual worlds help users reclaim a sense of calm and safety at the emotional and physical level, thus allowing them to reduce activation in their nervous system and pain in their body.” -Pierre Etienne-Vannier, Mind-Body Practitioner *How Does It Work?* Flowly’s Healing from Pain Program is a curated 12-week program with new lessons, daily trainings, and access to a coach included Weeks 1-4: Building the Foundation In your first week, you will receive a Kit that includes a VR headset and a HR sensor so you can engage in your daily VR nervous system training. You will also schedule your first of three Flowly Coaching sessions to set your goals for the program, design your Flowly routine moving forward, and answer any questions you might have Weeks 5-8: Cultivating Intrinsic Brain-Body Regulation Engage in trainings that utilize your nervous system to take control of various psychological and emotional aspects of your chronic pain experience. All while discovering new environments and tools to create physical safety. Meet with your Flowly coach for your second session to check in on progress and goals Weeks 9-12: Establishing Enduring Practice Reinforcing all the training you have accomplished so far, we will put together all the tools and learnings into a daily ritual that best fits your life now, but most importantly, your life and dreams moving forward. You will also meet with your coach for your last session to wrap up your program and establish your steps moving forward All throughout the program, you will have access to: * Bubbles: virtual small support groups where heroes can connect with one another and engage in activities to do with improving their health * Workshops: with health experts and specialists on specific educational health topics * Tools: 2D breathwork guides, educational articles, and more in the Resources tab in-app * Forum: a community forum where heroes can share their experiences and questions After 3 months you will have the opportunity to go into “Maintenance Mode” with continued access to the program content, new VR worlds and experiences, and other in-app resources. *Can This Actually Work?* Flowly marries two powerful approaches: biofeedback for relaxation training and Virtual Reality. There are 1,000+ studies dedicated to both therapies for pain. Flowly itself is partnered with UPMC and USC for studies with a grant awarded by the National Institute of Health. Dr. Robert Tien, the former Chair of Neuroradiology at Duke, says this, “Flowly’s experiences help enhance a user’s Vagus Nerve function, which plays a crucial role in preventing inflammation, increasing heart resilience, and treating symptoms of chronic pain and anxiety. Flowly is fun and accessible, but ultimately, can seriously improve overall life quality with consistent use” *Subscription Pricing and Terms* Healing from Pain Program - Program Fee - $474.99 - Maintenance Fee - $4.99/month Standard Flowly Subscription - Change My Life Membership - $44.99/month or $239.99/year - Community Membership - $4.99/month or $59.99/year Your subscription will automatically renew unless turned off in your iTunes Account Settings at least 24 hours before the current period ends.

Can’t live without Flowly for my anxiety, PTSD and panic
10/07/2020

Yes, if you’re like me, you’ve tried everything, (especially during the pandemic) to control the overwhelming anxiety of daily living. I have been an avid meditator and found this to be much more effective during times when I was actively having a panic attack and also in preventing them. I began without the VR headset but upgraded a couple days after beginning because I could see the overwhelming benefits immediately and wanted to further immerse myself. I use this when I am having anxiety or panic to anchor myself in the moment. The hypnotic visuals and soothing voice guide me into a place that is in the present, assisting me to breathe more fully and ultimately take me away from my panic state. Because the worlds have things like trees, water and ASMR sounds to match, I am getting better at being able to use my recall the way I felt in these VR worlds in the natural world when I am at work and unable to use my VR or the Flowly app. So, in essence, it’s literally retraining my brain to escape these states of panic. I honestly cannot recommend this enough and urge you to take the leap and try at least one month. I think you will find it as life changing as I have. Thank you so much to the team that developed this app. I’m forever grateful 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

A hidden gem!!

I am truly grateful I found this app. Flowly allows me to practice a state of wellness and to increase my awareness of positive states so I can work towards expanding them. It basically trains the mind to become more aware of things that bring a sense of comfort and joy, and I know beyond a doubt that over time this will build strong neural pathways that will make it easier to access that response.The "worlds" within the app are incredibly beautiful and well-designed, and it's both engaging and encouraging to see them react and respond to my heart rate. The app also encourages self-compassion and creates the space to acknowledge negative feelings when they arise instead of suppressing or fearing them. In the couple of weeks I have been using it, I have already felt myself transition my emotional state outside of the app by using the techniques within it, and it's been both empowering and reassuring.I appreciate the solid science backing up this app and the genuine care that's been put into it. Flowly has made biofeedback accessible to many who couldn't otherwise benefit from it. I believe the app is highly deserving of wider recognition, which would allow the Flowly team to continue improving the VR that accompanies the premium version of the app. Highly recommend!!

This app really made me feel a difference

I’m a middle aged guy and I’ve tried lots of different apps for meditation or therapy but honestly none of them made that big a difference for me. At first I was a little concerned the VR thing would be hard to use. But I subscribed doing the thing where they’ll refund you your first month if you don’t like it so I could try the full VR. Turns out it’s really easy to use. The best part of this app though is that it’s all based on your own body’s performance and data. So you’re not just listening to some mediation guru or app tell you how to think, this app actually shows you how your body improves over time.I have back problems and hard time sleeping. I do this in bed before I sleep and I sleep through the night no problem. And I get to see how my heart rate changes as I learned to breathe better, and I’ve really seen a difference in my body and how I feel. Most of all I feel like the things you learn in the app you take with you to your life outside of it. The VR is just pretty awesome too. Can’t speak highly enough of this app, and the team that builds is is so fast to respond to you when you have questions.

The most helpful relaxation training app!

I am so grateful to have found this app! As a counselor and a trauma informed professional I was aware of the scientific evidence supporting this program but didn’t know where to find one. When I found this app, I knew I had to try it. For the first time I feel I have control over my anxiety and my responses to trauma triggers. I find it to be a great 15 minute escape from reality where I feel safe and calm. If you are able to create a healthy habit for yourself and commit to using the app daily, you will start to feel more connected to your body and more aware of your body sensations outside of the sessions. I am able to use my paced breathing throughout the day to turn off my fight, flight and freeze response when I first feel it “switch on” and feel more in control. In a time when everything feels out of my control, having this app has been life changing. I recommend it to everyone!
