After Dr. Jonathan Kuttner had a serious hangliding accident above the cliffs of his home coastline, he had 6 years of chronic back pain. This lead him to specialise in treating chronic muscle and joint pain.
This site was founded to help people facing chronic pain. It's a hard and sometimes lonely path - so we want to arm you with both knowledge and inspiration to help you along the way.
Here's what you'll find out on this site:
Find out how to win the mind game. There's a powerful connection between how we respond to pain and how much pain we actually feel. Mastering this can lead to a breakthrough in your quality of life
How to break the cycle of exhaustion and pain. You'll find out what to do so that your body can make endorphines, rest properly, and start the journey back to active living
You'll find interviews with experts to listen to, videos to watch, articles and tools to use. There's places to learn, leave comments, share your experience and give and get support.
Every day I talk to people with chronic pain. And every day I get inspired when I see some of these people taking action to regain their health and well being.
What I've noticed is that small, simple steps are often the most effective - a minute or two of daily exercise, a morning stretch, a rethink of past habits and assumptions. And, most of all, a positive mindset.
Our body's natural tendency is to move towards health. You can actively support this movement by figuring out the cause of your pain, taking action to remove it, and keeping your attention on the positive.
I'd suggest you start by checking out the free articles and videos on the site. Then, go ahead and subscribe to the free email course on how to find and treat trigger points. You'll get a free introduction manual on treating triggers, and a series of videos that show you exactly how to go about this.
To your continued health,
Jonathan

Trigger Points are a common (and little known) cause of muscle pain. Dr Kuttner (previously featured on TVNZ) shows how you can self treat your trigger points to relieve muscle pain.

"Dear Dr. Kuttner,
I watched your video on stretching neck muscles. Finally there is a method of stretching that works and makes sense! "

"It is clear to me that “trigger points” can be the missing link in the evolution of understanding and releasing our muscular tension at any age, in any circumstance, from athletes to those with chronic pain.
Eagerly I began to search online but it was your site LifeAfterPain.com that stopped my search. I purchased my membership that day and have looked no further for information on Trigger Point Therapy. "

"Dr. K,
These videos are great. I've been doing TPT for years and I must said that I have learned a tremendous amount of useful clinical information from you. You are a wonderful teacher!
Thanks so much for your insights and knowledge."
