Wall of love for Pain Academy

A year ago I was broken couldn't carry my own kids! I felt like I wasn't a man! My wife had to carry the groceries the kids and I felt uselsss I cried sometimes by myself! In the bathroom! I thought I was done for! It started interfeeeing with my job! Until one of my friends showed me the pain academy I was sketchy at first I followed you for a year before I said f#*% it ! I got nothing to loose! I DM you and told you I was a barber and if this program was for me and you replied I'll have you back on your feet standing ! I had to become the man I wanted to be so I showed up every day for 56 weeks l'm not perfect I missed a few days due to work but I kept showing up! After a month I became pain free and I realized the more I show up the more the pain went away! I realized a lot of things were out of place in my journey and thats why l'm starting again! Because body needs it! My body loves it!

Thank you Vinny! I went for a 5.5 mile walk & had heel pain. After practicing the exercises with you, it helped a lot with my plantar fasciitis. I wear Saguaro shoes (shaped as your foot with wide toe movement). I am already part of your program & working out at the gym. I didn’t do me great service by not going all the time. My living situation just changed to where I am on my own (without my kids) & am setting up my home to work out again for me. I will start your program up again & do ‘for me’. Being invited to your squat workshop was awesome! It helped me squat much better, as well, helped in other areas. You should do a workshop on ‘Feet’. You’re awesome, Vinny!! Thanks for your learned expertise!!

Program is well thought out. Each session is short and engaging and extremely helpful. It's one of the first times I've been able to stay with the program because I see so much progress. I'm rediscovering balance and movement I thought was gone forever.

Thank you so much for the better back class! Unfortunately I can't watch live, but due to the class I have awoken muscles in my lower back that have been a constant issue due to them not activating. It's only day two but it has helped dramatically. My ankles no longer crunch and my runs have become more enjoyable after the first.

This program is the only thing that has given me any light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. I now have 20 years of terrible dysfunction from my feet to my elbows. This accumulated from terrible ankle injuries that I didn't rehab properly when I was younger. I was a three sport athlete, college athlete, and pro racquetball player. The injuries and beating my body took was tremendous. I tried all the usual stuff to help my horrible hip and back dysfunction. Chiropractors, massage, physical therapy, egoscue method (which is great but didn't have much progression so it stagnated), acupuncture, etc.... minor relief came from these things and never lasted. Vinny spreads this information with love, compassion, and extreme passion. You can literally tell by his aura. His eyes say it all.  I've been doing this for little over a month while still having to work an extremely physical job, and my body is changing in ways that I never thought possible. I can't tell you how many times I've cried tears of joy from getting relief in certain parts of my body. I'm feeling much straighter, have activation in muscles that haven't worked properly in years, and have far less pain overall. Please please please give this a try and commit to you. I promise you that you won't regret it.  With love, peace, and Aum!

I am very happy with this program, which I have been on for 7 months. Vinny is a genius when it comes to aligning the body. I am 75 y and have utilized dozens of physical therapists, chiropractors, and exercises. Nothing has helped more than The Pain Academy. There are some exercises I just can't do because of a hip implant, shoulder implant and toe implant. But I do what I can and my body is realigning which means less pain! YAY!

I've been doing the exercises regularly and am feeling positive changes and pain reduction (after a year of very little improvement before I started). It's possible that any movement program would be as helpful if I followed it daily; I can only speak to my experience here.

I do wish it were clearly indicated what the daily commitment would be each week. In phase 1, it was a very doable 15-25 minutes per session. In phase 2, the first day called for an hour. I wasn't expecting such a big jump. Knowing in advance would allow me to schedule my day more easily. (Now I just assume it'll be 30-60 minutes.)

Vinny's guidance is clear and non-judgmental. He starts with very foundational movement patterns. The routines build slowly in intensity, although every now and then there's a killer move thrown in.
