SPECIAL TWO-PART CONVERSATION: PART 1 OF 2

In this riveting episode, we're delving into the pervasive issue of pain management with our guest, Vinny Crispino, whose life-altering journey through chronic pain led him to found Pain Academy. The conversation was so good that it's a special two-part series diving into both the noise and the silence around pain. This thought-provoking session (Part 1) shares Vinny's story and will forever change your perspective on pain, examining the often misunderstood landscape of pain, recovery, and healing. Vinny shares a deeply personal and honest narrative, transitioning from a top-tier athlete to facing incapacitating injury and, finally, to an astonishing resurgence as an ultramarathon competitor.

Combating chronic pain is a silent battle affecting more than 52 million American adults, yet Vinny’s story serves as one of tremendous hope, illustrating how transformative shifts in one's approach can lead to profound healing. Emphasizing the power of perception, the conversation centers on the realization that altering one's mindset impacts the physical experience of pain. This podcast underscores how embracing rather than fighting pain can unravel a new path to recovery, blending biomechanical understanding with psychological and emotional insight. Tune in to Part 2 (launching Thursday, March 14) for the full conversation.
