Pain is an illusion
But your experience of it is real
Pain is no stranger to me
I lived with chronic back pain for almost a decade & had my fair share of injuries as a professional dancer
I have spent an unthinkable amount of money trying to solve and heal these ailments
Let alone unquantifiable loses like quality of life and confidence
I didn’t understand what was causing it
Or how to get out of it
No one was able to help me
I lived in fear of pain
Now, I no longer fear it
I am a Functional Anatomy Educator, Level 5 Sports Manual Therapist & Yoga Teacher
All this means is, I work with people who are currently in, or avoiding getting into pain Every.Single.Day
It’s true; pain is hugely complex and there is no magic solution BUT and this is a big but, once you understand that…
All pain is created in the brain, but not all pain is created equal
Pain is a teacher, trying to teach you a lesson
There are evidence based practices you can do for each type of pain
It gets a whole lot less scary
We may not realise it, but pain is a defining factor in how we navigate our lives
Many of the decisions we make on a day to day basis, are governed by our experience of, and relationship to pain
Whether we are avoiding getting into it, or trying to get out of it, managing or staying out of pain, dictates our lives
& the thing is, most of what we think we know about pain is vastly wrong
There is nothing more disempowering than experiencing pain, chronic or acute, and not understanding what is going on
Worrying about where it is coming from, how long it’s going to last, what caused it, how to ease your symptoms and who to turn to for help
Maybe you’ve tried everything and some things work for a while, but nothing lasts
You’ve heard that pain is created in the brain and wonder if there is a deeper issue at play
Dr Google is riddled with conflicting answers and every yoga teacher or therapist can only suggest you ‘take it easy’
Pain is hugely complex
Until you learn that it is simply a teacher
Now imagine you’re able to listen to the teachings of this pain and distinguish where it is coming from, what might be causing it and how to ease your symptoms
You know who exactly to go to for help, or better yet, how you can help yourself
You understand your nervous system and how your own psychology and beliefs dictate how you experience pain
You can’t help but feel calm and empowered when you better understand your body & no longer fear pain
Out Puzzle Pain is a concise, comprehensive online training, built on 3 solid pillars
Myth Busting
So much of what we’ve learnt about pain is vastly wrong and it is holding us back from healing
There is no such thing as a pain receptor - All pain is created in the brain
Tissue damage does not equal pain - Case study : how one man experienced absolutely no pain with a tool through his neck
We do not heal through rest - In fact, this could be doing more harm than good
Current Education
Replace old myths with current research to better understand pain
Realise that pain is a teacher - Learn how to distinguish the different types of pain, which tissue type it comes from, and the lesson they are teaching you
Understand the complex workings of your mind - How the body keeps the score and your emotional state dictates your experience of pain
Chronic VS acute - How to they differ and what can perpetuate the problem
Actionable Solutions
Transcend from problem based, to solution based to help yourself and others out of pain
Not all pain is the same - Each pain teacher requires a different approach
You don’t need to fear pain - Understand there is so much you can personally do before seeing a professional
Hack your nervous system - Learn how to work with your nervous system to reduce pain & increase confidence
Out Puzzle Pain is for you if
You Fear Pain
There is nothing more disempowering than putting your own well being into someone else’s hands, because you don’t know any better
Maybe you’re hypermobile, riddled with injuries or just want to get to the bottom of that niggle that perpetually returns, no matter what you do
Pain is an inevitable part of life. But it needn’t be feared
Because understanding what generates your pain, and its purpose, is half the battle
Imagine knowing that when that niggle rears its head again, you will have the tools to know where it’s coming from, listen to what it is teaching you, and know how best to treat it
You understand your body. You feel empowered. You can get back on with your life as normal
You don’t fear pain
You Treat Pain
Manual therapists, we didn’t accidentally fall into this type of work
Within every therapist, there is a strong, innate desire to help people and be of service
Almost every client we see is coming to us because of pain
Not only is it disheartening when we can’t find the solution, even with the best intentions, it also affects our reputation
Understanding pain was the biggest game changer in my treatment protocol and client results
Better results meant a better reputation
And a better reputation meant a fully booked treatment calendar
…with basically no marketing
You’re A Teacher
We’ve all been there. You do your due diligence and ask the class if there are any injuries.
Sometimes we’re in the clear, but not today. Someone pops their hand up and you go over to learn more
You’re not trying to diagnose them, you just wish you had something better to offer than
‘Just take it easy’
When you understand pain, only a few brief questions to better understand their experience goes a long way
With this you can quite confidently support your student, suggesting what to avoid, but more importantly what might actually help
Now you’re the informative teacher that made the practice accessible and inclusive again
