Debugging pain is a skill you can learn #
I spent a thousand hours experimenting with how to resolve chronic pain. I succeeded and began to teach other people. This site condenses hundreds of hours of trying different techniques, dozens of pain science papers, and the workshops I’ve run.
You can go from in pain and frustrated to having a clear path forward. Here’s how:
1. Understand the principles of pain #
Pain is not damage. It is a signal for protective action. Grasping a more accurate model of pain is the first step towards resolution.
