Where you feel pain is only the beginning. Explore the area that hurts to see common pain patterns, muscles that may contribute, and why symptoms can keep returning.

How Your Pain Patterns Create Your Treatment Plan

Your Pain Is Connected- Where you hurt may not be where the pattern starts. Your body compensates to keep you moving—sometimes on the same side and sometimes across the body.  1 connect the patterns that matter: Where you hurt • Same-side patterns • Cross-body connections • Movement restrictions • Previous injuries • Sport + career demands

Together, your pain map and movement assessment help create a treatment plan built around your body and what you need it to do.
