Pioneering Physical Therapy: A Conversation with Stanley Paris

In this episode, Spencer Blackman explains how he uses symbolic sensations to retrain the brain's interpretation of pain signals. ﻿He explains how the lower primitive parts of our brain can get stuck in threat response loops after injuries, keeping muscles tense and nerves firing years after tissues have healed. We discuss how finding the symbolic sensation of what the brain is trying to do in that area, like "pulling away" or "squishing", and solving for that can abruptly shift chronic pain patterns. Spencer shares how this method can provide lasting pain relief by updating the brain's conceptual map and response to those signals.

Ryan explains how they now directly treat patients using their digital platform and computer vision technology in value-based care models.
