As a massage therapist of 25+ years, I am always looking to introduce my clients to “active” Somatic style therapy to help bring balance to the body in between massage appointments. The clients who take this seriously heal faster, move better & just feel better for longer. Your approach is compassionate, kind & allows everyone to feel deeper into the practice with these added lessons & meditations before each round. Vinny, you are an amazing teacher, allowing us to show up without the guilt or shame to be present in the moment. And thats really half the battle! Your constant reminders that working from ground zero is OK, that we all have to start somewhere, allowing us to show up, just as we are, no expectations, only exploration, & that, is a game changer. Thank you, Vinny, from the bottom of my heart. Pain Academy has been a positive experience in my own healing as well as being a fantastic resource for my clients. So grateful to have found you! 🙏

The content here and the delivery by Vinny is really exceptional. He has taken his expertise in Egoscue and made it accessible and user-friendly to absolutely everybody. I have done a lot of Egoscue previously, but in my experience, the teacher would hand you a printout of what they called E-cises, and you’d go home to practice them, but there was no video follow along so it was easy to lose motivation and quit.In contrast, Vinny’s Pain Academy app has tons of follow along videos, with super clear instruction and narration by Vinny. He keeps the time for you, so you don’t need to set your own timer, and the whole time you’re doing the exercises he’s coaching you through, as well as explaining why each exercise matters and how it’s helping your body. He’s so calming and motivating to listen to that before you know it, you have completed the exercise.I work as a massage therapist. While massage can be helpful for short-term relief, it does not address muscle imbalances, because massage can’t strengthen a person’s muscles; it can only release them. That’s only half the equation for healing. I have been looking for years for a place to send my clients who need more than massage for addressing muscle imbalances, and particularly for learning how to activate and strengthen weak muscles. I have finally found it in Vinny’s work. Vinny has a great speaking voice, and a very relaxed and soothing vibe and that is just so helpful to anyone who is in pain or worried about their body. I cannot recommend this app enough for anyone suffering from any kind of musculoskeletal discomfort.

I’ve tried numerous well-known body mechanics programs over the past eight or nine years. Vinny’s approach stands out as the most comprehensive and well-rounded one I’ve encountered. His ability to address the mindset necessary for progress from despair is truly remarkable and stems from personal experience. The app simplifies everything, making it easier to perform and track your workouts. The design is great, the routines are effective, and the team is supportive. Lastly, the pricing is very reasonable.If you’ve been struggling with chronic pain and haven’t found any other solutions, take control of your health and give this program a try.

Pain Academy has been a game changer for me. I love working out but my 53 year-old body kept lighting up old injuries. This program has reset my nervous system and healed in injuries I didn’t think were ever going to heal. I see my chiropractor once a month and every time he says whatever you’re doing keep doing it. I am 10 months into the program and honestly do not do it every day although I wish I did and I’m still getting great results. I highly recommend the weekly live calls with Vinny. I always get gain some new information and a sense of I can do this.
