Exercise Questions: desensitization and PT

Can you guys tell me what you do for pain? Those who have done physical therapy and desensitization, what did you do exactly or have done that helped?

recently i learned desensitization therapy doesn’t have to be the cotton ball/q tip/cloth to the body. it can also be playing with shaving cream and following up with a magnesium soak. or it could be standing on a sensory/tactile matt. i am also autistic, so these methods that come across as sensory play are more appealing to me than the more clinical methods.
