Watch pain change in real time

Real clients, on camera, sharing the pain they are in before and after. Your results may vary, but their results (and reactions) are 100% genuine. When pain persists, sometimes the answer is more than just telling you to "breathe through it." When utilizing other neuroscience-based systems as part of a tolerable-movement integrated program, sometimes pain turns out to be changeable.

The videos below are examples of what's possible.

There are 23 of these videos on this site.
One video is luck.
23 shows a pattern of results you might not have thought possible.

Pick the part that's stopping you

Same method behind all four — what changes is what we find driving it. Each page has client videos for that body part.

Back Pain & Sciatica

Three months or more, and PT, adjustments and injections have all worn off. The tissue stopped being the story a while ago — this is the approach that treats what replaced it.

Pain running down your leg? Sciatica →

Neck Pain

Stiffness and headaches that come back no matter how the desk is set up. It is probably not your posture alone — and a neck with real strength behind it handles a long day.

Shoulder Pain

You can't sleep on that side, and the rest and the cortisone both wore off. Shoulders don't come back from being protected. They come back from being loaded well.

Knee Pain

Stairs, the descent on a hike, the word "degenerative" on a scan. "Bone on bone" describes an X-ray. It is not a prognosis and not a reason to stop loading the leg.

Every route runs on the same method — Cognitive Functional Therapy: retraining how your body and nervous system respond to pain, backed by thirty years of strength coaching.

Helping Coloradans move and perform at their best

Jamie arrived in 2001 after working at the Sydney Olympics. He's been helping every Coloradan looking for recovery, rehabilitation, or an edge over their competition — from recreational youth athletes to UFC, NFL, NBA and NHL athletes.

All of it under one roof: Jamie Atlas, Pain & Performance Specialist — certified in Cognitive Functional Therapy, a method for retraining how your body and nervous system respond to pain. How it works →

How this is different from what you've tried

  • One-on-one, every session. Never a class, never shared with three other people
  • 60–90 minutes, because that is genuinely what the work takes
  • Built around your sport and your week — not a protocol printed for everybody
  • Your strength coach and your therapist are the same person. No handoffs, no contradicting advice
  • Thirty years of coaching, plus the pain science most providers were never taught
  • A number of sessions, and a graduation. Not an open tab
