The Trauma Pain Support Framework

A clinically aligned, trauma-informed recovery system for long-term rehabilitation.



Across rehabilitation services, long-term recovery is fragmented. Persistent pain, altered movement patterns, hardware-supported mobility and psychological distress often interact, yet post-discharge pathways rarely integrate the emotional, somatic, and biomechanical impact of trauma. TPS was created to address this gap by providing a structured, evidence-aligned approach that supports both the emotional and physical imprint of traumatic injury.


TPS is a licensed service infrastructure designed to support long-term trauma recovery, beyond discharge.

It integrates trauma psychology, pain science, somatic awareness, and behavioural change into a structured, post-acute support model. This isn’t an alternative to physiotherapy or psychology, it’s the missing layer of continuity that bridges them, supporting survivors as they stabilise, rebuild confidence, and return to life.

At the core of this infrastructure is the Post-Acute Trauma Support (PATS) Model™, a clinically aligned framework built specifically to bridge the Post-Acute Trauma Continuity Gap (PATCG).

The PATS Model™ provides:

  • A structured, trauma-informed recovery pathway after discharge
  • A timeline-based progression aligned with common post-trauma patterns
  • A flexible, multi-domain approach (physical, psychological, emotional, behavioural)

TPS serves:

Clinical services (NHS, private, and community) seeking to scale trauma-informed continuity without duplicating clinical delivery

Survivors of RTA, polytrauma or complex injury who continue to experience pain, instability, or identity disruption long after medical treatment ends


Together, these standards shape TPS as an evidence-aligned recovery framework, supporting services to deliver trauma-informed continuity and meet national expectations for long-term care.


TPS is a scalable, licensed model designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing service structure. It complements physiotherapy, psychology, and pain services, delivering the continuity layer that supports trauma-informed progression post-discharge.

Using the TPS Compliance Checker and your service-aligned TPS Roadmap, services can:

  • Identify post-discharge gaps
  • Strengthen trauma-informed delivery
  • Align pathways with clinical and regulatory frameworks

TPS supports services in building a future-ready recovery model, one that meets standards, enhances outcomes, and closes the continuity gap.
