An interest in body building led Jeff Blanchard to love anatomy and kinesiology. That, in turn, led him to a career in Physical Therapy. His biomedical model PT training taught him to understand pain as “injury A, signal B, pain C.” Given his focus on diagnosis for choosing the appropriate treatment, he pursued a lot of continuing education over the course of his 25+ year career. Yet he noticed that–particularly with chronic pain patients–it seemed like his exercise skills and manual therapy tools were not enough to provide long-term benefits.
