User reviews

Why can’t I read any reviews that show pros and cons?

I see some one star reviews but I can’t read any. Maybe folks just clicked the star and gave no info? I like Pain Academy but have mixed feelings. I’ll update review if things get better for me. I really dislike Ai, so that’s one thing I take issue with. The other is I don’t feel this program is suited for my hyper mobility and my injuries. I think one has to be really careful with any type of exercise program because one can hurt oneself for real. I also feel like the meditations are like marketing the program and trying to convince folks to continue rather than just resetting the nervous systems. These are just my opinions. YMMV.

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest, thoughtful feedback! It's genuinely more useful to us than a quiet five stars. Quick note on the reviews: the App Store lets people leave a star rating on its own, without any written text. So when you see a rating with nothing to read, it just means that person tapped a star and didn't write anything. On the meditations, you're exactly right. Our short 7-day Starter course is designed to help you keep going and build a daily practice, because consistency is what makes the real difference over time. If you're looking for deeper nervous-system work, the 31-day Mindset course and the Standing Down course have a lot of helpful neuro tools. The guided audio sessions before each routine are also definitely worth a try. And you're right to be careful. With hypermobility and injuries, that instinct is exactly the right one. A few things that help: move slowly and stay within a comfortable, pain-free range, and feel free to modify, shorten, or skip anything that doesn't feel right for your body. This is exactly what our movement swaps are for. The goal is to meet you where you're at, limitations and all. If a movement feels too challenging or just "off," you can swap it for a few gentler alternatives that may suit your body better, so you can keep going without pushing through anything that doesn't feel safe. You know your body knows best, so let that lead. If you're open to it, email us at support@painacademy.net so we can help point you to the gentlest options for you. Thank you for giving us a real chance.

First glance

I only give it 4 cause I haven’t made the commitment. The daily reminders help.

Life changing

I lost my entire life to a lower back injury that just wouldn’t heal. I became angry, bitter, and frustrated. Countless doctor visits, PT, MRIs, injections, tests did nothing for me. I just could not escape the cycle.

I went a year without being able to walk more than 2 minutes. Couldn’t sit in a car, couldn’t bend over 1 inch. I couldn’t workout. I couldn’t sleep. Couldn’t do chores. Couldn’t grocery shop. Nothing. Age 29, I was losing my mind.

Im now 150 days into Pain Academy and living a mostly normal life again. The 31 day mindset course was the catalyst. It changes the way you relate to pain and gives your nervous system the chance to calm down and begin allowing movement again. The exercises are so gentle and relaxing and allow you to stack wins every day.

Im tearing up just writing this. Please I beg of you, give this a chance if nothing else has worked for you. This is the real deal.

It’s expensive at ~$50 a month, but so worth it. Genuinely the best money Ive every spent.

Thank you Vinny!

Dialed in to my current need.

This is very customizable to my current body situation, lots of options and modifications to address my needs! So helpful.

One of the most comprehensive healing programs available

This program is so wonderful because it also focuses on the neurological and mental sides of healing instead of just giving routines to do.

A little background with me I will just keep working on something over and over and pushing as hard as I can until it feels better, but Vinny’s taught me that that’s actually why I’m hurting.

I didn’t even realize that my nervous system was actually the problem, and I needed to work with my system to actually help myself heal.

Also, how much I allowed outside issues to actually affect my body like outside stress, stresses, and pressures. Once I started the mental part of healing it was like my body was waiting for my brain to catch up. Feeling better than ever and I’m going to be using this program for life.
