Fantastic
This is life changer , I have ankylosing spondylitis and I’m a surgeon my self . The exercises are simple yet effective , all we need is patience and discipline.

Exceptional
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.

Best decision ever
I will be forever grateful that I happened upon Pain Academy. This program by far is the best I have ever done. It’s been almost a year, and for the last 3 months I have been doing every day. I’m 47, and feel better than I did in my 20s .

Good content, frustrating app
The content in here is great. The app is overly complex and hard to navigate. The deliberate limitations on accessing content is also frustrating. For example, simple things like being able to search for a routine would make a dramatic improvement, rather than me clicking around trying to find something I did a few days ago. I used to recommend the web based version to others but have been reluctant to refer people to the app because of the UX/UI.

Good or a scam?
The program and all it offers really is quite good, but if you need help with your account billing and membership, God help you because Customer Support won’t. I don’t think Pain Academy is a scam because there really is a lot of useful information but I cannot get assistance with my over billing so I wonder.
**Update based on PA response: I have reached out to support three times and have not once received any acknowledgment. Their response to my review seems as if they didn’t even read it. **

Hey there! Glad you're having success with the program! So sorry we're not able to help you manage your subscription billing.
