TALK DESCRIPTION
75% of athletes suffer from chronic pain - but how often are athletes treated with a mindbody approach? In this webinar, I'll discuss the unique burdens that athletes with chronic pain face, and I’ll outline a clear 3-step process to help them eliminate their pain, return to their favorite activities, and increase their performance.
I’ll share some of my go-to techniques to help athletes with chronic pain break limiting beliefs about their bodies, decouple athletic performance from self-worth, and find more fulfilment doing their beloved activities than they did before they were in pain.
Along the way, I’ll share anecdotes from my own athletic career and those of athletes I’ve worked with in my practice. I’ll even share the story of a pro athlete who successfully used a mindbody healing approach when all else failed, what it means for our work as practitioners, and the opportunity for our work to transform the multi-billion dollar sports industry.
Whether you’re a practitioner who works with athletes regularly, have clients who would just like to get back to basic activities without pain, or are simply curious about a mindbody approach to high-performance athletics, you’ll find value out of this time together.
Alec Kassin is a Certified TMS Coach who specializes in helping athletes and active people return to their favorite activities, pain-free. A former semi-professional cyclist, Alec suffered what was originally diagnosed as a ruptured spinal disc, which left him in constant pain, partially bedridden, and on painkillers for two years, ending his cycling career. He eliminated his pain with a mindbody approach and has been pain free for over a decade… with the same ruptured spinal disc!
He’s helped numerous clients - triathletes, cyclists, ultramarathoners, swimmers and more - make breakthroughs with back, knee, hip, ankle, shoulder and wrist pain, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Migraines and other maladies.
