The Brain & Body can work together beautifully
About me
Marsha Canny
I am a chronic pain therapist based in Rochestown, Cork, Ireland. I use a multi-disciplinary approach to help you cure your chronic pain, not manage it. I specialise in helping people with persistent pain conditions and see fantastic results across all ages and ailments.
I completely cured myself of chronic migraines and neck pain that I suffered for over 10 years. I will work with your body, nervous system and brain to get you back to good health.

You are not alone
I know what it's like
to be told there's nothing
more we can do.
If you're reading this, you've probably heard those words before. You've seen multiple specialists. You've had the scans, the x-rays, the blood tests. Everything comes back "normal" or you've even been given a "diagnosis" — but you're still in pain. Day after day. Month after month. Maybe even year after year.
"Your pain is real.
And there is hope."
My background
My journey to
chronic pain recovery work
I didn't start out in this field by chance. Like many practitioners working with chronic pain, I've walked a path that's led me to understand something profound about how pain actually works — and more importantly, how it can be reversed.
My work centres on the biopsychosocial approach to chronic pain recovery. I've completed specialised training in the methods developed by Dr. Howard Schubiner — one of the world's leading pioneers in mind-body medicine — whose groundbreaking research has helped thousands recover from conditions conventional medicine often labels as incurable.
A different approach
Why I'm different
from practitioners
you've seen before
The root cause, not the symptom
Most chronic pain isn't caused by ongoing structural damage. Recent neuroscience research has shown that many persistent pain conditions are the result of learned neural pathways — patterns in your brain that continue firing long after your body has healed. Think of it like a faulty alarm system that keeps going off even when there's no danger.
I don't manage pain — I help you reverse it
Most practitioners give you tools to cope. My approach works at the level of the nervous system to retrain those misfiring pain signals, giving your brain a new pattern to follow — one that isn't pain.
"Pain is not a life sentence —
it's a signal that can be unlearned."
Who I work with
You don't have to keep
living like this.
I specialise in helping people whose pain has persisted long after conventional medicine ran out of answers.
Chronic Pain Syndromes
Fibromyalgia, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), chronic fatigue syndrome
Musculoskeletal Pain
Back pain, neck pain, knee pain, repetitive strain injury
Head & Facial Conditions
Migraines, tension headaches, TMJ syndrome, tinnitus
Gastrointestinal Issues
IBS, chronic abdominal pain, gastric problems
Post-Viral Syndromes
Long Covid, chronic fatigue, brain fog
And many more
If you've been living with unexplained or persistent pain, reach out — this approach may be right for you.
"If you've been told it's all in your head — you're partially right. Your pain lives in your brain's neural circuits, but that makes it no less real. Understanding this is the first step toward healing."

Real results
Real results
for real people
I work with people of all ages and backgrounds — from teenagers with amplified pain syndromes to adults who've lived with fibromyalgia for decades. The common thread? They'd all seen multiple medical professionals without finding lasting relief.
What makes me incredibly excited to come to work every day is seeing the transformations that happen when people finally understand what's actually causing their pain — and that they have the power to heal it.
What you can expect
My commitment
to you
When you work with me, you're not just another appointment in my calendar.
Understanding your unique story — every person's pain journey is different

Being honest about what's possible — this approach works for many conditions, but not all
Before we begin
Please rule out
structural issues first
Before we begin, I always recommend consulting your doctor to rule out structural abnormality, disease, or infection. Once you've done that, take my self-assessment questionnaire to help determine whether this approach is right for you.
Don't wait
Why now is
the time to act
Chronic pain doesn't usually get better on its own. Left untreated, pain conditions often develop and accelerate over time through neurophysiological processes. The learned pain pathways become more entrenched. The nervous system becomes more sensitised.
But here's the good news: neuroplasticity works both ways. Just as your brain learned these pain patterns, it can unlearn them. The sooner you start, the faster you can begin your recovery journey.
