Pain is one of the most misunderstood experiences in healthcare and bodywork.
Together, we’ll explore how the nervous, immune, and endocrine systems shape how we feel and how we heal; and why traditional approaches often miss the mark.

You want to help your clients heal…
But if you’re like many massage therapists, you’ve probably felt stuck at times—working on the same knots, hearing the same complaints about recurring pain, and wondering why some clients never seem to improve, no matter how skilled your hands are.
You might find yourself endlessly searching for techniques like “best massage for chronic pain” or “how to relieve back tension,” trying a new approach with each client—only to see the same issues return again and again.
You’ll have moments where you second-guess your work, wondering if the problem is muscle tension, nerve sensitivity, or even emotional stress stored in the body. You try to adapt, go deeper, or be gentler—but sometimes, it still feels like something’s missing.
It took me years of studying neuroscience, bodywork, and pain science to understand why chronic pain persists—and how to help clients find relief when tissue-based approaches aren’t enough.
With The Neuroscience of Pain, Posture, and Bodywork course, that understanding is here for you.
Neuroscientific Insights? Check.
Practical Tools for Lasting Relief? Check.
A New Perspective That Goes Beyond Muscles? Check.
Without this deeper understanding, you may feel pressured to try every new massage technique or “fix” your clients’ posture, only to see them come back with the same complaints. You’ll wonder if chronic pain is just something they have to live with.
But with this course, you’ll learn how the nervous, immune, and endocrine systems influence pain—and how to use bodywork in a way that works with these systems for long-term chronic pain management. You’ll leave with new skills, deeper confidence, and the tools to make a real impact in your clients’ lives.
