Physical Pain Therapy in Tampa, FL

How Physical Pain Therapy Supports Emotional and Neurological Healing

At EMDR and Psychotherapy, we approach pain from a holistic perspective. That means we recognize how pain isn’t just caused by tissue damage—it can be sustained or amplified by stress, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation. Many clients in Tampa, FL come to us after years of trying medications, surgeries, or physical therapy with little or no relief. Our Chronic Pain Therapy fills in the missing link: addressing the emotional and neurological dimensions of pain.

Elizabeth Handy’s background as a paramedic and trauma therapist gives her a unique advantage in understanding how physical and emotional pain intersect. Her use of evidence-based therapies like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Brainspotting helps target and reprocess unhealed trauma that may be stored in the body. This can lead to significant reductions in pain intensity and emotional reactivity.

Clients experiencing pain from autoimmune disorders, past injuries, surgeries, or fibromyalgia often benefit from this trauma-informed approach. Through Musculoskeletal Pain Therapy in Tampa, FL, you’ll not only explore the biological roots of your pain but also the psychological and energetic ones.

Our goal is to help you feel more grounded in your body, more in control of your healing, and more confident in your future. Whether you're looking for a Physical Pain Therapist in Tampa who offers in-person sessions or you’re seeking support via telehealth, Elizabeth’s care is accessible and affirming.

Who Can Benefit from Physical Pain Therapy in Tampa?

If you’ve been living with pain—especially pain that hasn’t responded to traditional treatments—you’re not alone. Many individuals in Tampa, FL suffer silently, unsure if therapy can really help their physical symptoms. But pain is complex, and your experience deserves to be addressed from every angle. Physical Pain Therapy in Tampa, FL may be the key to your healing.

This work is ideal for clients who:

• Experience chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, migraines, or arthritis
• Have musculoskeletal pain caused by injuries or repetitive strain
• Suffer from pain connected to PTSD, anxiety, or unresolved trauma
• Feel emotionally drained or depressed because of ongoing discomfort
• Have tried medications, injections, or surgeries without long-term success

Elizabeth Handy helps clients understand the nervous system’s role in pain—how stress and trauma can keep the pain switch "on" in the body. Through Pain Relief Therapy in Tampa, clients learn how to calm the body, increase emotional regulation, and decrease the brain’s perception of pain.

While many Physical Pain Therapists in Tampa focus exclusively on biomechanics, Elizabeth integrates the emotional, spiritual, and somatic sides of recovery. Her approach acknowledges that healing pain is not just about fixing the body—it’s about transforming your relationship to your body.

In addition to in-office care, Elizabeth offers Online Pain Management Therapy for clients across Tampa, FL, and Florida. If traveling is difficult or your pain levels fluctuate, telehealth may be a more accessible option for receiving the help you need.
