Chronic pain
It’s not that complicated when you know where to look.
The chronic pain problem
Chronic pain isn’t just frustrating; it can be exhausting. For many of my patients, it looks like back pain that keeps coming back, widespread muscle soreness, fibromyalgia, or pain that moves around without a clear cause.
You may have been told “there’s nothing wrong,” that it’s just tight muscles, or that you’ll have to live with it. Your doctor might suggest doing some yoga to alleviate the symptoms, but it still lingers for months or years. Obviously, this is a sign that something deeper is happening…something worth understanding, not just managing.
Irrespective of your pathology or medical condition, my job is to connect the dots and support the things that are broken, so to speak and support the rest of the system to help mitigate and prevent further issues.
What I have personally learned is that many specialists are great at diagnostics but fail miserably with treatment. That’s the problem, they don’t treat, they diagnose. That’s why they often refer to another specialist to aid and help with the issue. This can become incredibly expensive and frustrating, and still, nobody is treating you; they’re just diagnosing you!
Tired of being told there’s ‘nothing wrong’?
Pain that lasts for months or years doesn’t always mean there’s still an injury. Most of the time, it’s your nervous system staying in protection mode, keeping muscles tight, bracing your posture, and sending pain signals long after the tissues themselves have healed.
This is why your scans might look “normal” while you are still experiencing pain. Your body isn’t making this up; it’s doing its best to keep you safe.
The body remembers
Old injuries, accidents, surgeries, or even stressful life events can leave an imprint on your body. Over time, your nervous system learns to guard the affected area, and that guarding can spread, creating stiffness, changing how you walk, and even triggering pain in completely different areas.
One of the most powerful parts of my work is taking a detailed history. Even something that seems small, like wearing braces as a teenager or an ankle sprain years ago, can help explain why your pain pattern exists today.
Your intelligent pain system
When you understand pain as information rather than an enemy to fight, but to slow down and work with your body instead of against it. This shift opens the door to faster recovery, greater resilience, and long-term freedom from recurring issues.
Pain is not your enemy; it’s information. This information requires you to pay attention, to slow down, and to protect. The goal isn’t just to silence the pain but to understand what it’s trying to tell us. Often, I see visceral issues with organs that are screaming out. Their voice is through the musculoskeletal system, which feeds pain in the muscles, which we perceive as the problem.
When we find and address the root cause, we can retrain your nervous system to trust that it’s safe again. That’s when the pain signals calm down and real healing begins.
My whole body treatment
for chronic pain
My aim isn’t just to treat pain, it’s to help your whole system feel safe enough to stop creating it. Here’s how I do that:
Assessment
In your first session, I take time to understand your full history. We talk about old injuries, accidents, even small details like past dental work or surgeries, because any of these can be clues to why your pain pattern exists today. I look at diet and lifestyle, which have a huge impact on recovery.
Treatment
During the same session, I then start treatment straight away. Using techniques like craniosacral therapy, TMJ release, lymphatic drainage, and corrective muscle work, I reset the nervous system and free up areas that have been holding tension, often for years.
Independence
Before you leave, you will have a better understanding of why you are the way you are. I give you strategies and movements to help keep your system calm and balanced at home. The goal is to give you tools, not make you dependent on endless appointments.
