I empower injured athletes with slow recoveries, poor treatment results, and persistent symptoms to make a Pain Free Comeback.
At age 18, I was a semi-pro cyclist diagnosed with a ruptured spinal disc.
Over two years, severe back pain ended my cycling career, pulled me out of college, left me partially bedridden, on strong painkillers, depressed, and with suicidal thoughts.
I tried every treatment I could find, but still endured constant pain - my recovery was uncertain.
Thankfully, I've been pain-free and unrestricted for over a decade.
Yet here's the thing: That ruptured spinal disc is still visible on my MRI.
The pain wasn’t 'all in my head.' It was real, severe, and in my body.
But the problem wasn't my disc. And the solution wasn't to fix it.
I’m not alone, either. More people are learning that some of the best athletes in the world with nagging injuries and structural abnormalities like bulging discs, torn meniscuses, and torn rotator cuffs have become pain-free without fixing their bodies.
I'm an Injury Comeback Coach, and I demystify how to do this for my clients.
I've trained with renowned chronic pain specialists, sports medicine physicians, and psychologists from Cedars Sinai, Michigan State, and Wayne State.
I've helped Kona triathletes, state champion cyclists, marathon runners, actors, American Ninja Warriors, and those who just want to enjoy movement again get back to their favorite activities in the face of scary injuries and persistent pain.
Before working together, many were unsatisfied with treatment results, unable to perform or even exercise, and unsure how — or if — they were going to get better. They felt their athletic identity had been ripped away and that their self-worth was shattered.
The good news is that proven injury solutions already exist, outperform conventional treatments, and are becoming widely adopted. And breakthroughs can happen in less time than it takes to heal a broken bone.
This is why I created the Pain Free Comeback Method. It empowers athletes to break through pain and injury, perform with a competitive advantage, and feel like themselves again.
Seeing so many people who thought they’d never recover make amazing comebacks has revealed an unshakable truth:
Your biggest setback can become your greatest comeback.
