Don't treat the pain, treat the cause.

Don't treat the pain, treat the cause.

Don't treat the pain, treat the cause.

I see it all the time. Everyone is looking for the quick fix to alleviate the pain. We want to know what pain meds, topical ointments, and things we can do to make the pain go away. And I get it, pain sucks. It's not fun to go through life in pain, and allowing yourself to do that is something that most people feel like they have to do.

What if I told you that the methods you have been trying to use to get rid of the pain were likely wrong?

It's not that these methods don't help to reduce pain and sometimes can be enough to make the pain go away all together, but they are more or less symptom chasers.

Symptom chasers are defined as anything that targets pain as the primary treatment. 99% of things you can buy for pain would fall into this category.

What you want to look for in any service or product is one that is targeting and correcting the underlying cause of the problem that resulted in the pain. 

To put it bluntly, if you're not treating the cause, you're not fixing the problem long-term.

If you're unsure of the cause it can be really hard to know what exactly to do to fix it. That's where we come in as the movement experts. We specialize in finding the root cause and giving you the tools to fix it long-term.
