- Post COVID I was having horrible pain on my shoulders down to my right arm, super tight calves and painful achilles on my left leg! I spent my time on weekly visits to both physio and massage therapists but the problem persisted to the point that I thought I would have to give up what I was doing (beauty therapy). Until March 2024 I took the courage to contact Allan and did a TAYP Confidence program and trained with him, the pain has since dissipated! Allan has amazing combined knowledge of both Eastern and Western physiology and philosophy that helps to alleviate the pain through movements! My achilles no longer hurt, my calves are no where near tight, I don’t feel the pain of my rotator cuff, tennis elbow and wrist tendonitis and if work triggers them a little, I know what to do with what I learnt from Allan! I am not in the constant pain I was at the beginning of this year! Through this course of training with TAYP, I realized that only us to be responsible for our own pain and how to change it! I had so much fear within me that create layers of protection around my pain that I made it worse! I was relying on physio therapist and massage therapists to solve it for me (what an easy way!) but it won’t go until I stepped up to the RIGHT movements! Since then I have learnt the ways I move could build strength and soften my pain! Also, I now know that I can age but don’t have to age with pain! Allan told me “unless you are in the hospital not allowed to move, or you’ve broken your bones, there are always movements to do.” He is so right! Thank you Allan!read moreread lessKate Nguyen×Kate NguyenPost COVID I was having horrible pain on my shoulders down to my right arm, super tight calves and painful achilles on my left leg!

Thank you Allan!I’m 52 years of age, still very active but very tight all over. I had been following Allan on instagram for sometime and thought I would reach out and give it a go. I was so glad I did. Allan has created movement patterns for the body that are challenging but also very rewarding. My tightness and pain slowly disappeared, I enjoy running and training BJJ again without the pain or discomfort.

I would highly recommend Allan to anybody who wants to have a pain free body and mind.I experienced ongoing joint pain for many years, stemming from my two pregnancies. The most frustrating aspect of my pain was that any exercise seemed to exacerbate it. As a result, I started avoiding all exercise, even walking. I saw many different kinds of therapists for help. I did make some progress with some of these health professionals. However, my problem with avoiding exercise persisted, as I was never able to exercise confidently without pain. I also became anxious about exercise as a result, and my avoidance grew. Allan was very different to all the other people that I had seen. He recognised the many layers to my difficulties, in particular the emotional component that had set in for me. After working with Allan, I had a repertoir of movement tools, with a comprehensive program that I now follow at home. I also had techniques and tools to manage the psychological component that had set in. As a result, I was able to shift my old and unhelpful patterns and replace them with a new approach to managing pain/avoidance. My goal on starting with Allan was to be able to do any exercise I wanted (running, gym, yoga, etc) without having to abandon it due to pain. I have absolutely achieved this goal. I now can attend several fitness classes during the week (pilates, gym, yoga), and I walk and run. I also know that if I do have pain, I have the knowledge to manage it effectively myself, and it quickly resolves. I would highly recommend TAYP to anyone who is experiencing pain, and whose life has been restricted in any way as a result of this pain.read moreread lessKirsten Duncombe×Kirsten DuncombeI experienced ongoing joint pain for many years, stemming from my two pregnancies.

- Training with Allan has made me feel 10 years younger! Even though I have done so many different forms of movement and exercise in the past, Allan has opened my eyes to movement in entirely new ways. I feel stronger and more integrated physically which has also improved my state of mind. Pains and restrictions I carried for years have dissolved. I am very grateful to Allan and highly recommend him! 😊🙏🏻read moreread lessNicki Pittorino×Nicki PittorinoTraining with Allan has made me feel 10 years younger!

I am very grateful to Allan and highly recommend him! 😊🙏🏻Before joining TAYP program, I struggled with lower back pain, debilitating bilateral carpal tunnel, and persistent vertigo, turning daily tasks into challenges. These injuries resulted from years of unsupervised training in the gym. In 2019, I had bilateral carpal tunnel surgery, and I stopped exercising. This hiatus impacted both my physical health and mental well-being. I discovered Alan on Instagram. As I observed the group program, I was struck by the evident progress of his clients, I also like his concept of small group, offering a more focused approach. The next day I book a call with Alan. After my first day of training, I told my husband that I have never experienced a program quite like what TAYP offers. This program transformed my life. The designed exercises focused not only on strengthening but also on enhancing my balance and mobility. Within weeks, the dizziness from vertigo began to fade, my wrists strengthened, and my lower back pain started to diminish. And just week into the program, I was able to bend forward without any pain and touch my toes for the very first time!!!! Today its been more than eight months pain and dizziness free. I stand stronger and more balanced, both physically and mentally. Program has been a game-changer for me, offering a holistic approach to healing and wellness. I highly recommend TAYP to anyone hesitant exercising due to pain. Book a call and Alan will Train Away Your Pain.

Thank you Alan 🐢 (I can't find a sexy turtle emoji 😂🤣)Apologies in advance for such a long review, but it’s truly been a journey and I want my story to help others in the same situation. At the risk of sounding over the top, Alan and Ben have literally changed my life. I suffered from lower back ailments on and off over the last 15 years probably due to a desk bound job, having children etc. Over the years I have had tried different forms of exercise to address it (yoga, pilates, swimming, running) but nothing dealt with the pain I was experiencing and some forms of exercise made it worse. A couple of years ago I aggravated my back terribly (L4.5 / L5.S1 annular disc irritation and sacroiliac ligament strain) by simply getting out of bed and was left with daily ongoing debilitating pain that just didn’t seem to get better. As everything is connected, over time I also started noticing my neck was being affected too. This combo resulted in daily headaches, pins& needles down my arms and pain shooting across my lower back and down my legs. I was visiting an amazing Chiropractor approximately every 10 days and he would get me moving again, my pain would be reduced but didn’t completely cease. He would get me to a point where I could move again but after 2 years of constant visits I realized I wasn’t doing enough to help myself out of my pain cycle. I felt pretty lost at Osteo and Physio. They hurt and felt worse after. Excercise hurt. Driving to the supermarket hurt. Gardening hurt. Sitting at my desk hurt. Sneezing hurt!! I was scared I would need an operation. My constant pain was exhausting - aging me faster, extinguishing all my joy (I couldn’t even bend down to tie my shoelaces without significant pain) it compromised my sleep (I couldn’t turn in bed without bracing myself) and produced an anxiety that took over my life. I was on a constant merry go round of appointments, pain killers and dreading basic things things like picking up my daughter or going to a picnic for fear of having to sit on the ground. It wasn’t great to feel that uncomfortable in my own body. I felt weak and vulnerable in everything I did. I was literally at my wits end with it all and frightened about my future. I was apprehensive about the commitment required at Train Away Your Pain (exhausted from pain and worried training would make it worse) but I was really desperate so decided to give it a go. Allan and Ben were beyond amazing. Life changing is definitely the words I would use. They meet you where you are. You start small and at an achievable consistent pace. They build your confidence as well teach you how to reconnect your mind to your body. They are gentle, encouraging and wise beyond their years about the science of movement, the psychology of pain and the ability we all have to overcome our own pain and discomforts. They sincerely care about your outcomes. I’ve been going for 4months now. My pain and discomfort level has gone from a high level 90% of the time to a low level probably 10% or less of the time. I now only go to my Chiropractor once every 5 weeks and I require far fewer adjustments. When I started at TAYP I couldn’t even lift the 6kg kettle bells. I’m now on 14kg kettles easily with no back pain. I can now sit comfortably at my desk and get in and out of the car like the 45year old I am instead of feeling like an 80 year old I felt like. I now only have sore muscles from training (the good sore) and not the pain, discomfort and alarm bells ringing in my mind when I moved awkwardly (the bad sore). My confidence is being restored and I play with my daughter again. I have my life back. Sleep is better. There’s much more joy. I wouldn’t have it all if it weren’t for Alan and Ben. When you are released from pain it’s literally like a curtain is being pulled back and the sunlight is flooding in again. I can’t recommend Alan and Ben at Train Away Your Pain highly enough. I truly feel blessed to have found them.read moreread lessbel booth×bel boothApologies in advance for such a long review, but it’s truly been a journey and I want my story to help others in the same situation.

- I wish it were possible to give them more than 5 stars! I was suffering with lower back pain since I am quite physical in my job. It was also effecting me mentally and emotionally. I was facing the hard truth that age was finally limiting me. Allan and Ben's thoughtful and caring guidance has changed my health on every level. Their unique and personalised program has made me trust and like my body. The dynamic routines have made me stronger, more flexible and more aware of how my body works and how to use it best. The overwhelming physical results have made me happier and opened my mind and heart in ways I did not expect.

THANK YOU TAYP!!!!Allan at TAYP has been brilliant for both my partner and I, definitely worth the investment. I live with Ankylosing Spondylitis and needed to find a way to keep moving while managing pain. I knew I needed to exercise and strength train but pain often held me back, feeling nervous about making things worse. Allan has passed on skills and supporting thought systems to manage self recovery and move safely, while building confidence in what I can manage and how to listen to my body. I’ve trained fortnightly for 2 years now, and take many simple exercises into my day to day routine. These routines help me manage a stressful desk job as well as the Ankylosing Spondylitis pain. For the past year my partner has joined me and we’ve loved training as a couple. He has different issues to me, a physically demanding job as a tradesman, and Allan has done well to accommodate both of us. We’re both stronger and more comfortable in our bodies and haven’t needed the physio since training with TAYP. We’re both 52 years old and not into regular gyms at all so it’s been wonderful to have enjoyable sessions tailored to our needs.read moreread lessJoanna×JoannaAllan at TAYP has been brilliant for both my partner and I, definitely worth the investment.

- TYPA tailored our fitness needs for my husband and I and their expertise and dedication have been instrumental in helping us move better. We both noticed significant improvements in our overall well-being, all thanks to TYPA tailored workout plans and encouragement. My husband had suffered from shoulder pain for decades and finally took the plunge with shoulder reconstruction operation on both shoulders 10 years ago and since the op he was very robotic in movement with minimal range of motion. But in 6 short weeks with TYPA he is now able to move with ease. It meant having to do homework after each session 3 times a week but the rewards have been outstanding. As for me, I had issues with my right shoulder from carrying babies on my right side hip so I felt out of alignment and my glutes had little to no strength. TYPA again tailored a program with remarkable results ensuring that I stay safe and maintain proper form. What we appreciate most is TYPA positive attitude and unwavering belief in our potential. TYPA enthusiasm is contagious, and it kept us motivated even at our weekly 5am sessions. We are truly grateful for everything TYPA have helped us with. From years of continued pain to now managing our bodies with confidence for our future with the knowledge we now have.read moreread lessMia Mosaics×Mia MosaicsTYPA tailored our fitness needs for my husband and I and their expertise and dedication have been instrumental in helping us move better.

- I worked online with Allan for over a year and would highly recommend working with him. I have a long…long term injury affecting my movement, and Allan has really helped progress my healing. I loved Allan’s problem solving approach, I felt like we were working together, which was really important to me. The injury I have has caused a lot of disconnection and ‘amnesia’ in my movement. Allan’s innate ability to simplify and visualise concepts was so helpful in improving my ability to reestablish connections, leading to less stiffness and better movement.

I'm very active nearly 50, running a swim school (which I intend to keep doing for another 20 years at least!) Pilates and Spin I thought would get me there but I started to get injuries that just wouldn't go away. Shoulder pain, lower back pain, neck pain, getting up in the morning I'd never know what to expect... I'd go see my Physio and get massages but doing a bit of research I realised I needed to up my game with movement and decided to give TAYP a go. I loved it! It wasn't just mindless reps but engaging and stimulating movement exercises. I didn't realise how much fun it would be and educational. I now know what to do when I get up in the morning to warm my body up, what to do if I feel some tightness and if I do get pain how to self massage it away! I'm more flexible than I was 20 years ago, know my body well and love learning more that I can even help my family & friends with. Yes it takes discipline to do daily movement but to be honest it is so motivating when seeing the results that it has given me. I'm so greatful to Allan and can't recommend TAYP enough.

During my phone consult, I informed Allan that I had secured a place in the London Marathon, which I’d been waiting 3 years to run it! The catch, we had less than 5 months to get there. How I was going to run 42km when I couldn’t even run for the bus, I had no idea. But the thought of never being able to run again scared me more.
Every session was a stepping-stone towards race day, we built layer upon layer. All aspects, which impacted on being able to move, were addressed, Allan has all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle and it comes together uniquely. But what Allan does awesomely is provide context and understanding; everything has a purpose for why you are doing it. The sessions are so inspiring.

Training with Allan has been one of the best journeys I have experienced, he enabled me to get my body back and fulfil my dream of running the London Marathon. It has been an amazing time.
- Post COVID I was having horrible pain on my shoulders down to my right arm, super tight calves and painful achilles on my left leg! I spent my time on weekly visits to both physio and massage therapists but the problem persisted to the point that I thought I would have to give up what I was doing (beauty therapy). Until March 2024 I took the courage to contact Allan and did a TAYP Confidence program and trained with him, the pain has since dissipated! Allan has amazing combined knowledge of both Eastern and Western physiology and philosophy that helps to alleviate the pain through movements! My achilles no longer hurt, my calves are no where near tight, I don’t feel the pain of my rotator cuff, tennis elbow and wrist tendonitis and if work triggers them a little, I know what to do with what I learnt from Allan! I am not in the constant pain I was at the beginning of this year! Through this course of training with TAYP, I realized that only us to be responsible for our own pain and how to change it! I had so much fear within me that create layers of protection around my pain that I made it worse! I was relying on physio therapist and massage therapists to solve it for me (what an easy way!) but it won’t go until I stepped up to the RIGHT movements! Since then I have learnt the ways I move could build strength and soften my pain! Also, I now know that I can age but don’t have to age with pain! Allan told me “unless you are in the hospital not allowed to move, or you’ve broken your bones, there are always movements to do.” He is so right! Thank you Allan!read moreread lessKate Nguyen×Kate NguyenPost COVID I was having horrible pain on my shoulders down to my right arm, super tight calves and painful achilles on my left leg!

- I experienced ongoing joint pain for many years, stemming from my two pregnancies. The most frustrating aspect of my pain was that any exercise seemed to exacerbate it. As a result, I started avoiding all exercise, even walking. I saw many different kinds of therapists for help. I did make some progress with some of these health professionals. However, my problem with avoiding exercise persisted, as I was never able to exercise confidently without pain. I also became anxious about exercise as a result, and my avoidance grew. Allan was very different to all the other people that I had seen. He recognised the many layers to my difficulties, in particular the emotional component that had set in for me. After working with Allan, I had a repertoir of movement tools, with a comprehensive program that I now follow at home. I also had techniques and tools to manage the psychological component that had set in. As a result, I was able to shift my old and unhelpful patterns and replace them with a new approach to managing pain/avoidance. My goal on starting with Allan was to be able to do any exercise I wanted (running, gym, yoga, etc) without having to abandon it due to pain. I have absolutely achieved this goal. I now can attend several fitness classes during the week (pilates, gym, yoga), and I walk and run. I also know that if I do have pain, I have the knowledge to manage it effectively myself, and it quickly resolves. I would highly recommend TAYP to anyone who is experiencing pain, and whose life has been restricted in any way as a result of this pain.read moreread lessKirsten Duncombe×Kirsten DuncombeI experienced ongoing joint pain for many years, stemming from my two pregnancies.

- Before joining TAYP program, I struggled with lower back pain, debilitating bilateral carpal tunnel, and persistent vertigo, turning daily tasks into challenges. These injuries resulted from years of unsupervised training in the gym. In 2019, I had bilateral carpal tunnel surgery, and I stopped exercising. This hiatus impacted both my physical health and mental well-being. I discovered Alan on Instagram. As I observed the group program, I was struck by the evident progress of his clients, I also like his concept of small group, offering a more focused approach. The next day I book a call with Alan. After my first day of training, I told my husband that I have never experienced a program quite like what TAYP offers. This program transformed my life. The designed exercises focused not only on strengthening but also on enhancing my balance and mobility. Within weeks, the dizziness from vertigo began to fade, my wrists strengthened, and my lower back pain started to diminish. And just week into the program, I was able to bend forward without any pain and touch my toes for the very first time!!!! Today its been more than eight months pain and dizziness free. I stand stronger and more balanced, both physically and mentally. Program has been a game-changer for me, offering a holistic approach to healing and wellness. I highly recommend TAYP to anyone hesitant exercising due to pain. Book a call and Alan will Train Away Your Pain.

Thank you Alan 🐢 (I can't find a sexy turtle emoji 😂🤣)Apologies in advance for such a long review, but it’s truly been a journey and I want my story to help others in the same situation. At the risk of sounding over the top, Alan and Ben have literally changed my life. I suffered from lower back ailments on and off over the last 15 years probably due to a desk bound job, having children etc. Over the years I have had tried different forms of exercise to address it (yoga, pilates, swimming, running) but nothing dealt with the pain I was experiencing and some forms of exercise made it worse. A couple of years ago I aggravated my back terribly (L4.5 / L5.S1 annular disc irritation and sacroiliac ligament strain) by simply getting out of bed and was left with daily ongoing debilitating pain that just didn’t seem to get better. As everything is connected, over time I also started noticing my neck was being affected too. This combo resulted in daily headaches, pins& needles down my arms and pain shooting across my lower back and down my legs. I was visiting an amazing Chiropractor approximately every 10 days and he would get me moving again, my pain would be reduced but didn’t completely cease. He would get me to a point where I could move again but after 2 years of constant visits I realized I wasn’t doing enough to help myself out of my pain cycle. I felt pretty lost at Osteo and Physio. They hurt and felt worse after. Excercise hurt. Driving to the supermarket hurt. Gardening hurt. Sitting at my desk hurt. Sneezing hurt!! I was scared I would need an operation. My constant pain was exhausting - aging me faster, extinguishing all my joy (I couldn’t even bend down to tie my shoelaces without significant pain) it compromised my sleep (I couldn’t turn in bed without bracing myself) and produced an anxiety that took over my life. I was on a constant merry go round of appointments, pain killers and dreading basic things things like picking up my daughter or going to a picnic for fear of having to sit on the ground. It wasn’t great to feel that uncomfortable in my own body. I felt weak and vulnerable in everything I did. I was literally at my wits end with it all and frightened about my future. I was apprehensive about the commitment required at Train Away Your Pain (exhausted from pain and worried training would make it worse) but I was really desperate so decided to give it a go. Allan and Ben were beyond amazing. Life changing is definitely the words I would use. They meet you where you are. You start small and at an achievable consistent pace. They build your confidence as well teach you how to reconnect your mind to your body. They are gentle, encouraging and wise beyond their years about the science of movement, the psychology of pain and the ability we all have to overcome our own pain and discomforts. They sincerely care about your outcomes. I’ve been going for 4months now. My pain and discomfort level has gone from a high level 90% of the time to a low level probably 10% or less of the time. I now only go to my Chiropractor once every 5 weeks and I require far fewer adjustments. When I started at TAYP I couldn’t even lift the 6kg kettle bells. I’m now on 14kg kettles easily with no back pain. I can now sit comfortably at my desk and get in and out of the car like the 45year old I am instead of feeling like an 80 year old I felt like. I now only have sore muscles from training (the good sore) and not the pain, discomfort and alarm bells ringing in my mind when I moved awkwardly (the bad sore). My confidence is being restored and I play with my daughter again. I have my life back. Sleep is better. There’s much more joy. I wouldn’t have it all if it weren’t for Alan and Ben. When you are released from pain it’s literally like a curtain is being pulled back and the sunlight is flooding in again. I can’t recommend Alan and Ben at Train Away Your Pain highly enough.

- I wish it were possible to give them more than 5 stars! I was suffering with lower back pain since I am quite physical in my job. It was also effecting me mentally and emotionally. I was facing the hard truth that age was finally limiting me. Allan and Ben's thoughtful and caring guidance has changed my health on every level. Their unique and personalised program has made me trust and like my body. The dynamic routines have made me stronger, more flexible and more aware of how my body works and how to use it best.

THANK YOU TAYP!!!!Allan at TAYP has been brilliant for both my partner and I, definitely worth the investment. I live with Ankylosing Spondylitis and needed to find a way to keep moving while managing pain. I knew I needed to exercise and strength train but pain often held me back, feeling nervous about making things worse. Allan has passed on skills and supporting thought systems to manage self recovery and move safely, while building confidence in what I can manage and how to listen to my body. I’ve trained fortnightly for 2 years now, and take many simple exercises into my day to day routine. These routines help me manage a stressful desk job as well as the Ankylosing Spondylitis pain. For the past year my partner has joined me and we’ve loved training as a couple. He has different issues to me, a physically demanding job as a tradesman, and Allan has done well to accommodate both of us. We’re both stronger and more comfortable in our bodies and haven’t needed the physio since training with TAYP.

We both noticed significant improvements in our overall well-being, all thanks to TYPA tailored workout plans and encouragement. My husband had suffered from shoulder pain for decades and finally took the plunge with shoulder reconstruction operation on both shoulders 10 years ago and since the op he was very robotic in movement with minimal range of motion. But in 6 short weeks with TYPA he is now able to move with ease. It meant having to do homework after each session 3 times a week but the rewards have been outstanding. As for me, I had issues with my right shoulder from carrying babies on my right side hip so I felt out of alignment and my glutes had little to no strength. TYPA again tailored a program with remarkable results ensuring that I stay safe and maintain proper form. What we appreciate most is TYPA positive attitude and unwavering belief in our potential.

I loved Allan’s problem solving approach, I felt like we were working together, which was really important to me. The injury I have has caused a lot of disconnection and ‘amnesia’ in my movement. Allan’s innate ability to simplify and visualise concepts was so helpful in improving my ability to reestablish connections, leading to less stiffness and better movement.

- Iv been training with Allan now for 6 weeks now and i am blown away by the results. Iv been a high skilled swimmer/fitness fanatic my whole life and the last few years iv have gained a list of injurys that often leave me in crippling pain and have affected not just my swimming/training but my whole life. Allan has taken me through some self massage techniques and exercises to help my individual injury's but also the group sessions have helped me gain the confidence and strength to get back very quickly to a base level i can start to build back up safely and with so much more awareness around how I'm moving. Getting back to swimming regularly and I'm feeling more powerful and connected to my body and how its moving in the water and just in general day to day as well! I cant wait to see how much more improvement i get in 6 months!! Allen is a patient and incredibly knowledgeable with the ability to make it all easy to understand what I'm doing and why. All the time iv spent with chiro/physios etc have never given me such quick pain relief and results as Allan has.read moreread lessGemma Taylor×Gemma TaylorIv been training with Allan now for 6 weeks now and i am blown away by the results.

I found Allan at TAYP was patient, professional and listened to my health concerns. Over 6 months I made many improvements and my pain settled down.

How a one-hour session with TAYP helps you heal
01
10-15 min
Warm Up and Tune In
Let us guide you through an engaging sequence of full-body movements, stretches, breathwork, and self-massage techniques. This will help you to prepare your body and mind, prevent injury, and have a great session!
02
Movement Skill Acquisition
15-20 min
Learn Functional Movement
Training shouldn’t just be about stretching and lifting weights. You should be learning a range of functional movement skills like running, rolling, fall-breaking, jumping, throwing, and basic martial arts techniques. Apart having these skills for life… it’s also a hell of a lot of fun!
03
Organic Strength Development
20-30 min
Get strong more NATURALLY
We believe everyday people should get stronger more organically, especially if pain-relief and better movement for life is the goal. We use Flywheel resistance-training to achieve these aims. Flywheels accommodate the strength of the user, which makes them perfect for ALL levels. They also teach you how to be more powerful and explosive, giving you the ‘oomph!’ we all love to feel in our bodies!
Who is TAYP for ?
We believe movement is for EVERYBODY, and everybody deserves a decent quality of life. Chronic pain, however, can make this seem impossible…

Mothers and fathers
Seniors
Office workers
Labourers and tradies
Kids and teenagers

The Biggest Benefits of Train Away Your Pain
Real-Time and Personalised Form Correction
One of the major root causes of chronic pain is movement dysfunction. In other words, your technique or HOW you move. We use our expertise in movement and communication to guide you towards optimal patterns of motion using both tactile and verbal feedback, so you can train safely and successfully.
A Time and Place for Self-Care and Health-Care
When life gets busy, exercise and movement is often first on the chopping block. That’s why making an appointment with yourself at regular times in your week to focus on your body and mind is KEY for good health and no pain. Training with TAYP gives you peace of mind knowing you have a time, place, AND the right guidance to get the results you want!
Lifelong Confidence to Resolve and Prevent Pain
We don’t just train you. We EMPOWER you with essential recovery skills like breathwork, stretching, self-massage, and joint-care. There’s nothing more powerful than knowing how to deal with pain, and how to PREVENT it!
The TAYP Difference
Say NO MORE to quick fixes and isolated approaches
When it comes to pain, it’s natural to want to get out as soon as possible. The most common response is to reach for the easiest solution, the one that’ll get you out the fastest.
And the market is more than happy to provide! The most widely available solutions from the medical system and mainstream training/therapy are quick fixes and isolated approaches to the body.
They may serve their purpose for a time, but then they stop working. This leaves a person stuck in pain, with no clear exit. If this is you, we understand how frustrating this is!
The truth is, chronic pain is complex pain. Quick fixes and isolated approaches will not help, and sometimes only get in the way of your healing… which is just wrong.
You need a more holistic and comprehensive approach that uncovers the root issues behind your pain, helps you correct them, and put strength and fitness in its place!
This is where TAYP Movement Training can help. We detect your movement dysfunctions and deficiencies, and teach you the right movement and lifestyle habits to address them.
We also guide you into a better mindset and attitude as it relates to your body, because your beliefs and relationship to pain governs your experience of it.
That’s what we mean by healing your body and mind with movement. That’s what we mean by Train Away Your Pain.
Join us today and start your healing journey!
