For several months, I was struggling with high hamstring tendinopathy. Despite many different physical interventions and time away from training, I couldn't get past it and was particularly struggling with pain sitting. As an avid triathlete I was very frustrated and almost ready to give up on the season. It wasn't until I started learning about neuroplastic pain and working with Alec that things started to actually change. I have learned how strong my mind body connection is and how much my body follows my brain's expectations. I have gained much more appreciation for how strong my body is and that movement is not harmful - my body was made to move. It wasn't instant, but after working with Alec I am barely thinking about sitting discomfort anymore and am back to a normal training load and racing again. I would really encourage anyone who finds themself fearing injury or struggling with pain lingering longer than makes sense to consider with an open mind what role the brain and your emotions could be playing- you might be surprised!

Both were inspired by Doctor John Sarno and his method for resolving chronic symptoms, or what he called Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS).
