Rewiring Pain: Solving the Chronic Pain Epidemic

Despite tremendous advancements in orthopedic medicine, chronic pain remains a growing epidemic — why? This session will explore groundbreaking neuroscience-backed insights into the brain’s role in persistent pain and how non-invasive, brain-based treatments are transforming pain management strategies.

Designed for healthcare professionals, chronic pain sufferers, and anyone interested in the power of the brain, this engaging and evidence-based session will cover:

Current Challenges in Chronic Pain Management – Examining why current interventions can fail to provide long-term relief.

The Neuroscience of Pain – Understanding how neural pathways contribute to persistent pain beyond structural abnormalities.

Innovative, Non-Invasive Approaches – Reviewing how emerging treatments, including neuroplasticity-based methods, are changing outcomes for patients.

Case Studies & Real-World Applications – Showcasing recoveries from musculoskeletal conditions and their implications for the millions of people suffering from chronic pain.

This interactive presentation blends scientific research, case studies, and storytelling to offer practical, actionable insights for professionals managing orthopedic pain cases. Attendees will leave with new tools to reduce pain in themselves or their patients.

Why structural “abnormalities” like herniated discs often don’t explain persistent pain

How fear, stress, and outdated recovery protocols are silently undermining performance

What the world’s best athletes are doing differently to return faster and stronger

How to identify neuroplastic symptoms and integrate brain-first recovery strategies into your organization

Why adopting this approach now could win more games while saving millions

For teams ready to innovate beyond the scalpel and into the brain—Moneyball 2.0 is your blueprint.

Starting Your Pain Free Comeback

A Workshop for Athletes and Active People with Persistent Pain

Millions are stuck in pain — despite clear MRIs, endless treatments, and no real answers.

In this powerful and paradigm-shifting workshop, former semi-pro cyclist and Pain Free Comeback co-founder Alec Kassin reveals what conventional medicine often overlooks: chronic pain isn’t always about injury — it’s about the brain’s danger signals getting stuck in overdrive.

Using real-world success stories, neuroscience-backed methods, and an empowering 3-pillar framework, Alec shows attendees how to rewire their brain’s pain response, reclaim their confidence, and start moving again without fear.

This is not “pain management.” This is a complete reset of what chronic pain is, where it comes from, and how to break free.

🔍 In this workshop, your audience will learn:

Why lingering pain often isn’t caused by structural damage

How trauma, stress, and fear condition the brain to keep pain alive

The 3 core pillars of the Pain Free Comeback Method

How world-class athletes have overcome chronic pain without surgery

Practical next steps to begin their own comeback—right now

This workshop is ideal for:

Athletes sidelined by unexplained or persistent injuries

Coaches, trainers, and healthcare providers seeking better recovery tools

Organizations looking to reduce time lost to pain, stress, and burnout

If your audience is tired of endless rehab, vague diagnoses, or being told to "just live with it," this workshop will feel like a lifeline and a launchpad.

They'll never see pain the same way again.

The Power of Your Brain: Moving from Fear to Empowerment

It's been said that what we think, we become. And it's the brain that makes that transformation possible. During our time together, we'll demystify the immense power of our brains with cutting-edge research, build thought-provoking awareness of the ways we unconsciously limit ourselves, and learn practical tools to feel empowered.

We'll build awareness and skills around recognizing the brain's power to create real physical changes in our bodies, understand its role in emotional creation and how we can influence the process, and learn how to change our perspective to change our experience. Whether it's a stressful sprint at work, a difficult situation with a partner, or getting your life unstuck, you'll see how the brain can either consciously help you or unconsciously hinder you.

This isn't a boring lecture about the structure of your brain. It's an engaging, practical roadmap for how to use it to wake up to your own power.
