We built this site because it took me hundreds of hours of careful searching to find the information that helped me resolve my chronic pain. This site is what we wish we had at the start of my experience with pain.
Hi, I’m Max Shen.
I’ve got two degrees from MIT and have worked at both Moral Psychology Research Lab at Harvard, and the Computational Cognitive Science Lab at MIT. After experiencing extensive chronic pain during my graduate program, my focus shifted to understanding and ultimately resolving my pain.
Now, as a pain researcher, I try to articulate the dynamics of pain using everything ranging from active inference to phenomenological interviews. As a practitioner, I use this knowledge to create self-guided practices that aim to bring lasting relief from chronic pain.
I’m trained in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, a modality using awareness to recalibrate the nervous system, and care deeply about equipping people with the skills and knowledge to relieve themselves from pain.
Hi, I’m Tanner Holman.
After two lumbar fractures and years of chronic back pain, I discovered the skills to resolve my problem through a holistic approach to movement.
I'm currently studying physiotherapy, but my approach goes beyond traditional methods. After experiencing extensive chronic back pain, my focus shifted to understanding and ultimately resolving my pain through movement. Now, as a student and practitioner, I try to articulate the dynamics of pain using everything ranging from predictive processing to innovative movement practices.
I use this knowledge to create self-guided practices that aim to bring lasting relief from chronic pain through intelligent movement.
I'm influenced by various movement modalities ranging from Fighting Monkey to Feldenkrais, which use awareness and novel movement patterns to recalibrate the nervous system. I care deeply about equipping people with the skills and knowledge to relieve themselves from pain.
If you or someone you know are wanting to work on your pain, you can find several resources at debugyourpain.org
