This is life changing. I've had a pinched nerve in my neck for 25 years. Causes shoulder and are pain with very limited mobility. Low back and chronic hip pain for 38 years following a car accident. The first day during the movements my neck pain stopped and I was able to raise my arm. My hip pain is decreasing. It's been 1 week, I can use my arm normally, my head turns both ways finally after all these years. I signed up for the full course. At 65 to regain range of motion, mobility, strength an eliminate pain is life changing!

Your programme is awesome. I'm on round two and on phase 1 again. The difference in the second round is amazing, as you notice your body from a different viewpoint. It has absolutely changed my life. The way you teach is life changing. You know exactly what to say.....eg relax your shoulders, don't hold your breath. So straightforward and true follow along. Thanks Vinny you're a star!

Pain Academy and all of its teachers has completely changed my approach to my body. My pain was my "shoulder" but my hips had everything to do with why it was hurting in the first place! Crazy right? Customer service - A+ Instruction Videos - A+ Passion for their job - A++++ Definitely recommend anyone looking to work on their pain. Trust me, it won't go away without moving. -Vesal

Discovering this movement program has completely transformed my approach to exercise and overall well-being. Being in a more balanced physiological state has not only improved my body but helped me maintain a healthier weight and develop a more positive outlook on life. After changing nothing else in my life for the past eight months, I can confidently credit this program for these remarkable improvements - thank you, Vinnie!

I have been following the Movement Program for about 19 months now and experienced exactly what you mentioned - relief from the symptoms I started with, then after a few months (when I was going through phase 5) I started having real trouble with my shoulder and physically couldn't manage some of the exercises. I reached out to you and got some good helpful advice, went back to the start of the program to try different routines and gradually my shoulder improved and has now been fine for a few months. I then recently experienced debilitating lower back pain and felt like it was coming from my hips, so I tried the lower back and hip targeted relief bundles along with heat packs and rest and dialed back some of the other workouts I normally do and after a couple of weeks I am back to feeling good and have gradually reintroduced what I was doing prior to the pain. Thank you for such a wonderful program and support throughout the journey. This program has genuinely changed my life and has become an integral part of my day to day that I actually now crave each day!

I started pain academy a couple of months ago, and I can say that it has truly been helpful. I was having shoulder pain when driving, and after completing exercises for about 2 weeks, I noticed that my pain has diminished. I am looking forward to seeing how much this program will correct other portions of my body that I have had pain in. Also, I have noticed that my posture has improved, and my parents have as well. Be sure to try it because what may work for others might not work for you, but it might be the key to becoming pain free for you!

I started this program a little over a year ago. I was not in extreme pain but had nagging recurrent problems in my right shoulder.  I wanted to be more flexible and noticed that i was taking longer to recover from longer hikes or trying a new activity and I sit too much and have some posture issues.  I know that I need to start strength training but was afraid of injury, so after seeing ads for this program and doing the better hip challenge, I decided to give it a try.    For most of the year except when I've been ill and a little for travel  I did the program every day.

It moved a little fast for me. I took a little extra time to get to phase three and a whole month extra before i started phase four.  Phase four was a struggle but I pushed through it and went ahead and started phase five but found it just too difficult. i was having leg cramps during the night and sore all the time so i decided to go back to phase three but with some new routines.  I was happy with that until a recent three week illness that I'm still not recovered from  that has left me unable to exercise, but I hope to start back in with a week or two of phase two and then back to phase three.  (I did a phase one routine yesterday and logged on to do one tonight when I got the link for this review)

So this program progresses through different routines that get harder in each phase.  You try out many different options and pick the ones that make you feel best and focus on those as you move  to the next level interspersed with new challenges. In some ways I love this but it also narrows the range of what you work on. That's why I ended up going back and focusing on different routines from the earlier phases, to build up the parts of me that could not handle a lot fo the phase four and five work.  

My shoulder was resolved within two months.  I have been gaining strength and better alignment when I move.   IN fact I planned to start weight training in January before this recent setback of this long lasting flu,

Many exercises are like the Egoscue method that I had used from a book to resolve back and neck pain about 12 years ago, but Vinny's videos made me understand that I was going too fast and sometimes without the right form.   It is valuable to have someone model the exercise and then  talk through them as you do them.    

My rib cage is rotated, one should dips a bit, one foot turns out when I walk.  I have made a small amount of progress on those things, not as much as I would like.  I still can't hinge forward and touch the ground (which is why I can't do a lot of the exercises) but I'm about 10 inches away rather than 15.  There are exercises that seemed impossible when I started that are now much more comfortable.  I couldn't find my glutes at first,  and it was excruciating to hold a squat for 1 minute or a wall sit for two. Now its easy.  My swimming times have dropped.

Overall this program has been valuable  to me and I have recommended it to others.  I didn't use the coaching much at all because of the time difference and I  had a few issues with losing access to the website a couple different times and with the initial order but they were resolved.    I'm 60 years old and I think its very important for me to keep using this program and hopefully make it all the way to phase five this year so that I will be in a good position to maintain mobility as I age.  

I would love it if there was an add one where you could send in your videos or still photos and get individual coaching.   It turned out to be a little less personalized than I thought. You assess your own videos.  But it is still a great program and if you are motivated to put in the work, you will see results,

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 started this program due to a hip alignment issue+a shoulder issue. I felt like the program was legit and I bet if I had stuck with it + exercised, I'd have a straight body. I just couldn't devote the time.  When I can, I'll rejoin and try again.
