Boxes - they are places we find ourselves, and sometimes that's just fine, and other times the only way to move ahead is to find our way out of it.

While sitting here at my desk, writing, and working on my blog for hours at a time, I stop and wonder, “How is it possible that I am capable of doing this, when a little more that a year ago I would have had to carefully climb out of my seat after 20 minutes, due to the agonizing pulling, stretching, and aching pain in my back, and down through my legs?” Thankfully, these days I'm able to do whatever I want - without pain.

  • 8-10 hours at work sitting in a chair - Check
  • 14 hour flight - Check
  • 3 day seminar sitting in a seat - Check



There was no easy fix for me, as I had tried many therapies, remedies, and exercises for decades. None of the standard approaches helped me. Some things that I attempted would help me for a period of time, but the pain always returned, and I was back to square one again. Sometimes it would even be worse than before. This pattern left me despondent, and I was sure there was no hope for me, but I had to go on living, so I kept looking. 

Finally, a day came when I learned about tension-based pain, and what it can do to the body. I knew immediately that this was the basis of my problem. I had been told that I had a lot of tension in my back by my doctors, and the reason they gave as to why it was there was never quite satisfactory to me. I found that tension was actually the cause of my pain, but it had always been presented as just some mysterious symptom.


After so much time spent with traditional treatments for chronic pain, I felt it couldn't do me any harm to try something different. I developed a method to break the terrible cycle of tension and pain, and this was a life changing discovery for me. I will always be glad that I was willing to look outside the mainstream for an answer. 

If you experience chronic back-neck-shoulder pain, keep seeking, continue to try new things, and one day, hopefully, you will find exactly what you need. Boxes - they are places we find ourselves, and sometimes that's just fine, and other times the only way to move ahead is to find our way out of it.
