The Root of Pain programme
Does the pain always come back? Let's understand why.
For those who have had the same pain for months. A monthly programme to find the origin of your pain and work on it. Assessment included, no contract. 4 places available.
It is for you if
- You have had massages, physiotherapy or medication and the pain always comes back
- You have had pain for months, or years, and no one has explained why
- The scans show nothing and the pain goes on
- You want to train, work or play with your children again without fear
- You want to understand what is going on and resolve the pain
It is not for you if
- You only want a massage now and then. In that case, book the massage.
- You are looking for a quick cure or a guaranteed timeline. I promise neither.
- You are not available to do the exercises and the changes we agree on between sessions.
The first step
The full assessment
It is two hours with health and stress questionnaires, a postural and functional assessment and the analysis of the 5 domains. At the end you know what your main problem is and you take a written plan with the priorities.
It costs 90€ on its own and is included in the programme. If you do it first and join within 14 days, the 90€ are deducted from the first month.
Guarantee
If at the end of the assessment you do not know what your main problem is and what to do next, I book you a second 1-hour session at no cost so we can settle that.
The 3 phases
How the programme works
The The Root of Pain programme follows this order in the first three months. You pay month by month and can stop whenever you want.
- 01
Month 1
Identify
The 2-hour assessment and the first sessions. We find what is feeding the pain and set your priorities.
- 02
Month 2
Restore
Hands-on work, rehabilitation exercises and breathing to give the body back the function it lost.
- 03
Month 3
Optimise
Habits, sleep, food and training so the body responds better to your day to day and, over time, you stop needing me.
Each session
What we do in each 90-minute session
Hands-on work, exercises, breathing and habits, all in the same session, according to what you need in each phase.
Exercise and breathing
Rehabilitation and breathing exercises adapted to your body, which progress as you improve.
Habits
Sleep, food and stress management. We change one thing at a time, in the order that makes the most difference.
Review
Monthly sheet with the goals reviewed and follow-up on WhatsApp between sessions.

Yes. No programme starts without an assessment, because that is where we find the origin of the problem. If you join the programme directly, the assessment is included. If you do it first on its own (90€) and join the programme within 14 days, the 90€ are deducted from the first month.
Only the number of 90-minute sessions per month: 2, 4 or 8. Everything else is included in all of them. Recommended is the pace I advise to start. Intensive is for those who need very close follow-up.
Yes. The programme is paid monthly and has no lock-in. You cancel whenever you want.
