PPS Episode 1: Learning to See the Body Differently


Listen Later

For years, people have asked me one question: "Amy, what exactly is Pain Patterns & Solutions?"

I finally realized I couldn't answer that by teaching techniques. Before I could explain what PPS is, I needed to explain why it exists.

In this first episode of a new monthly PPS series, I'm taking you back to the beginning of my journey—back to the questions that changed the way I see the body, the clients who challenged everything I thought I knew, and the observations that eventually became Pain Patterns & Solutions.

This isn't a lesson in scar tissue or mapping. It's an invitation to begin seeing the body differently.

If you've ever wondered why pain keeps returning, why some clients respond beautifully while others don't, or why your hands sometimes tell you something your education can't quite explain, this conversation is for you.

My hope isn't that you leave understanding PPS.

My hope is that you leave asking better questions.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • Why I waited more than 30 years to tell my story
  • The two experiences that forever changed how I observe the body
  • Why curiosity became the foundation of PPS
  • The biggest difference between traditional massage and PPS
  • Why recurring pain led me to ask different questions
  • How one client completely changed the direction of my career
