Don't give up on future you.
I get it, you’ve tried everything and feel kind of lost in space with how to manage poorly understood diseases like Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy), or the culmination of multiple other chronic diagnosis. You’re doing your best to stay active and push through in hopes of decreasing pain and hanging on to quality of life, but continue to feel stuck and too limited. But what if I told you it doesn’t have to be like that? That there are ways to take your power back again.
Want to decrease pain?
My goal is to provide education that help patients understand pain and their bodies, build autonomy and agency, and be able to effectively manage their own care. Besides all my Instagram content, you can join the free RWC community newsletter, which I send out every week-ish with chronic pain tips, personal perspective and announcements around upcoming programs and partnerships. For more chronic pain resources, listen to my podcast with Dr. Dan Bates, It’s Not in Your Head - available on all podcast players, YouTube, and our website.
PROGRAMS
What makes RWC different?
RWC and its programs were founded on the ultimate mission of improving access to unique movement techniques and lifestyle medicine that improve symptoms and function enough for you to live a larger life. Complex patients are typically severely lacking evidence-based information and individualized care and support – especially when it comes to health, fitness and lifestyle factors outside of treatments and approaches the traditional medical system emphasizes. I developed my signature framework, The MARS Method and related services, with the goal of arming more patients with the tools and strategies needed to develop the resilience to contiually improve long-term.
Want to increase movement and mobility, and decrease pain? Learning individualized, brain based techniques to improve stability and movement patterns, along with conservative lifestyle pain management strategies if needed.
Treat the different buckets of nervous system dysfunction/sensitization that result in sensory sensitivity, sleep disturbance, extreme fatigue, cognitive impairment, mood disturbance, dysautonomias, or motor dysfunction.
Got a complex client or caseload? Get answers to questions regarding movement and inhibition or lifestyle and pain management strategies so you can keep moving them forward and break through ceilings.
Hi, I’m Justine.
I work with chronic pain patients who are looking for more lasting solutions and agency with their care.
Living with persistent pain or rare, difficult to treat, poorly understood diseases is unfortunately beyond what the medical system is designed to support. It often lacks the communication and individualized attention that helps patients understand what they can control and what affects the way we experience pain. Doctors don’t have the time to address the vast majority of variables in patients lives that are dramatically impacting their quality of life. Their job is to manage treatments and interventions. Your job is to manage everything else. My job is to help you identify what those things are and implement individualized strategies that actually move the needle for you and create meaningful change.
Let’s work together!
Individual Sessions
In Individual Sessions we focus on a brain-based approach to movement with sensory based neuro strategies that address underlying weakness, inhibition, and brain mapping issues that result from living in pain. We may totally focus on movement, or, depending on pain presentation, may also create an individualized plan with regards to integrating conservative pain management strategies around lifestyle. We go at whatever pace is appropriate for your situation, so we can sustainably improve quality of life and decrease pain in a way that’s in alignment with your needs. Want to chat about your specific situation?
Base Camp Program
Struggle with sensory sensitization, sleep disturbance, extreme fatigue, brain fog, dysautonomia, anxiety/stress, or weird motor symptoms like spasming or myocolonic jerks? You are dealing with the central sensitization, or nervous system dysfunction piece of complex pain that often accompanies persistent pathologies. This curriculum improves all the foundational lifestyle pieces that amplify pain further, and systematically addresses these specific symptom buckets that become an increasing issue as more of a CNS component is involved.
Clinician Consult
Clinician or movement professional working with a complex patient or caseload? This is a 60 minute session for you to get answers to anything you may be having a hard time, whether it be pain management strategies or movement with persistent pain. You’ll leave with an organized approach addressing your concerns so you can keep your client progressing and moving forward.
Masterclasses
Masterclasses for you to learn about the importance of diaphragmatic breathing, how to progress movement with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, understand and treat central sensitization, or learn exercises to improve back pain and positional intolerance to sitting, standing and walking - topics critical for complex pain patients to better manage their nervous system and increase activity without triggering overwhelming flares. Knowledge is power. Keep your eyes out for future masterclasses!
