The 3 pillars of our approach
The principles underlying our approach are straightforward, effective, and based in the latest science. There are no gimmicks, quick fixes, or empty promises to be found here.
Through holistic, individualized coaching based on the following 3 pillars, we aim to not only conquer your pain, but to equip you with the tools and confidence you need to live the life you want, without limits.
Understanding pain 1
One of the biggest obstacles in dealing with persistent pain is the way we think about it. It's natural to feel worried or fearful when we experience pain, especially if it's been going on for a long time.
You might think, "If it hurts, there must be something seriously wrong," or "I need to avoid certain movements or activities to prevent more damage." These thoughts are completely understandable, but they can actually make your pain worse by creating a cycle of fear and avoidance.
We start the coaching process by helping you make complete sense of your pain situation. By demystifying your pain, you will start to see it in a different light—as a useful tool that we can take advantage of to drive forward progress. You will be in control of your situation, and not the other way around.
Graded exposure 2
When you're in pain, it's common to stop doing activities that you love or need to do because you're afraid of making the pain worse. While this might provide short-term relief, over time, it can actually make your pain worse.
We help you break this cycle by developing a concrete plan for getting back to your activities you have been avoiding. We'll take gradual steps that progressively build your confidence and physical resilience.
This is called "graded exposure", and it’s the most effective method for recovering from pain/injury while also improving your physical capabilities. This is how we help you reclaim your life and get back to doing the things that bring you joy and fulfillment.
Holistic health 3
Everyone's experience with pain is different. We take the time we need to deeply understand your unique situation, including the physical, psychological, and social factors that may be contributing to your pain.
This includes looking at your overall health, your work and home life, your stress levels, and your sleep patterns. By getting a complete picture of your life, we can create the best possible plan that's tailored specifically to you.
Our individualized approach means that we'll be working closely together to set short- and long-term lifestyle goals that are realistic and meaningful to you. We'll work toward achieving them step by step, and you will be fully supported along the way.
