🎤WHO IS TANNER MURTAGH, MSW, RSW?🎤

Tanner is a therapist who treats clients with chronic pain and symptoms that are fully or partly brain generated. He is the director of Pain Psychotherapy Canada, and co-director of MBody Community. Through his agencies, they provide therapy and a digital course for people who have chronic pain or symptoms.

In his early 20s, Tanner began to experience anxiety, depression, chronic back pain, hip pain, leg pain, shoulder pain, arm pain, and headaches. At the time, he was told he had fibromyalgia and several other conditions, and he felt deeply confused because doctors and healthcare providers could not agree upon what was physically wrong with him. After several years of suffering in daily pain and anxiety, and having little success with various treatments, Tanner realized through his research that nothing was structurally wrong with his body and he had neuroplastic pain. Utilizing the same techniques he uses with his clients, he recovered from having symptoms of chronic pain, anxiety, and depression.
