ABOUT
MIND 2 MOVEMENT
WHAT WE DO
At the Mind 2 Movement Institute (M2M), we raise awareness about the interdependent role of mind and movement (biomechanical) behaviors within the context of emotional, cognitive, and physical pain and suffering.
To this end, we provide continuing education seminars, courses, and events for all medical practitioners who want to alleviate pain and suffering, including doctors, chiropractors and physical therapists, and everyone in between.
We recognize that within the medical community so far, mind and movement health have not been successfully integrated when addressing chronic neuro-musculoskeletal pain.
To address this, we developed The Cognitive-Biomechanical Approach, a structured mind and movement-based training program that helps clinicians (and patients) get to the root of the chronic pain problem, as well as address it.
OUR MISSION
To alleviate chronic neuro-musculoskeletal pain and suffering in the world through mental and physical behavior change.
WHY MIND 2 MOVEMENT?
Chronic pain is a disease of the mind as well as the body. Within the medical community so far, mind and body have been dealt with separately, and no one has been able to integrate them successfully...until now.

This is NOT what makes me an expert in chronic pain.
What has made me helpful to a lot of people, however, is all-of-the above AND having suffered from disabling chronic back and hip pain, shoulder pain, foot pain, and neck pain.
Note the keyword "suffered," as in past-tense. I'm not suffering anymore.
Despite being a candidate for bilateral hip replacements, and experiencing multiple body region pains every day of my life, I don't suffer. Instead, I've made it my purpose in life to help eliminate chronic pain and suffering in the world.
You see, I get it. I really do.
I get what it's like from the patient's perspective, the medical provider's perspective, and even the insurance provider's perspective. I've experienced enough cracks in the system, enough cracks in the current treatment paradigm, and enough cracks in the lines of communication to really understand the complex nature of the chronic pain problem. But, with understanding, comes a desire to fix the problems. This is where the Mind 2 Movement Institute comes in.
I offer trainings, workshops, and consultations to organizations such as Kaiser Permanente, The Adventist Health System, and various private practices. I help physical therapists retrain their brains, as well as their patients' brains to get their minds 2 movement.
