Wall of love for Pain Academy

I do the exercises daily about 15 month. I have Scoliosis and MS. I am 68 years old. My life has changed in many positive ways: I have less pain need no more medication. I sleep much more better. A year ago I only can sleep 1,5 hours than I had to stand up and walk around, do exercises,massage the muscles, now I often can sleep 4 hours turn around and sleep again. I am standing much more upright . In the beginning I only could do 7 steps and then pause, now I can do 50 steps. For me painacademy is a gamechanger. Maria from Germany

I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 11 years old. Over the years, I have tried many methods in an attempt to manage the bodily imbalances and discomfort it caused, including Rolfing, yoga, somatic movement programs, the Schroth Method, and lumbar injections (nerve blocks). They all helped, but my sciatica continued to worsen over the last several years regardless of what I tried. Now, I am generally free of pain. When I do experience discomfort, I know that using certain specific exercises and routines from The Movement Program will address the problem. I look and feel straighter and more balanced.

After 2 years of constant lower back pain and thousands of dollars spent in chiropractic visits with minimal relief I decided to give Pain Academy a try. The experience was life changing. I have seen my body change for the better over the past 6 months. It is a slow process and you get out what you put in. Working with Justin has been amazing. He is knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and patient. My kids love to show up and interrupt our session and he takes it all in stride. He really does care and I've never felt rushed to end a session early. He always answers my questions and concerns no matter what. His answers are thoughtful and filled with insight. I can't recommend Pain Academy enough! It is 100% worth the money.

Pain academy has seriously been life changing for me! My body has responded better than I could have imagined to this treatment. All I wanted was a way to manage my pain, and I definitely got that along with my body changing how it works together and also looks. I have been working with Vinny for about 7 months and I am completely out of pain. I am a hairstylist so am constantly on my feet, and before treatment I couldn't even make it through the day without pain. Now, my back doesn't bother me after long days. I am so happy with my progress! This business is so knowledgeable and passionate and I am forever thankful for the way they have helped my body!

Vinny! What you do is magic! I believed in your approach before I discovered painacademy. I also got help from masseuses, physical therapists, and doctors with my imbalances. They all somewhat helped but didn't solve the underlying problem. And I knew it, but I didn't know what to do. My issues aren't noticeable to the untrained eye but my imbalances have set me back years as an avid athlete. I am already feeling the substantial improvement from taking your free scoliosis workshop. I know that repetition will pay off! You're the man. I love your mission and I'm sure you're helping so many people live much better lives. My hat is off to you for what you do!

First, thank you so much. For the first time since finding out that I have scoliosis, I'm hopeful about having a pain-less and active future. I figured out that I had scoliosis at 12 years old while getting an x-ray for a seemingly separate injury (stress fracture in L5 vertebrae). I had a moderate curve of 30 degrees on my lumbar and a slight curve on upper thoracic in opposite direction, and I was braced for several years until I stopped growing. The universal wisdom from all of the doctors I met was that it doesn't get better — you can only manage the pain and attempt the keep the curve from getting worse. Then I saw the results of your program, so I signed up. Within weeks the pain in my left hip and lower back we're going away, and the knots in my upper right back that caused daily headaches were happening less frequently. Sure enough, a year later, and my stride is more balanced; I'm loose in my lower hip and back and experience far less pain if I'm regularly moving; and I have a long term vision for mobility. What's most remarkable has been my body's adaption to the movements. Now when I get into a rest position with my legs lifted, my hip and shoulder almost immediately begin to spasm and release. My emotional space shifted dramatically. I no longer felt the need to repress or ignore tightness and pain, and I felt that release daily. I'll share two breakthrough moments. The first was when I took a road trip and suffered very little pain or stiffness. The second was when I slept on the "bad side" of my back. I was only ever able to sleep on one side, not the other. Such simple but breakthrough moments. Finally, I was able to confidently begin biking long distances! A passion of mine that l've not felt confident about engaging in since college. | have hope! I used to wake up from anxiety dreams feeling that I'd be immobile before I got old. I no longer do! So grateful. I also have a much different relationship with my body. Very in touch and gentle on my movement, aches, and needs. I'm general, I have far less pain and, most importantly, know what I need to do to feel better. There's a way!

I had an s-shape scoliosis for the past 20+ years and could feel it getting worse. Although I could function somewhat normally despite the severity of the curve (45/55 degrees) in my mind I was preparing for a future of misery since modern medicine is still only trying to fix the symptoms (straighten the curve with the help of metal rods). With Pain academy I was trying to find a way to build up resilience to slow the dysfunction progression with a small hope of maybe getting a bit better. There is an exercise where you rotate hips against the wall while lying on the back - initially my left hip would only go about half-way. After few weeks of even months it would start to go further but with a lot of grinding and clicking. Now after a year the function of both hips is about the same during the excursive. Another thing I noticed is that over time same exercise would start working different areas - I imagine this is because the body would start moving differently, which I think is a good thing. Overall my posture is better, I have less random aches and my hips look a bit more even. Originally right hip was 2.5cm higher than left.
