Alternative Pain Relief Solutions Santa Rosa
At Pain & Performance Solutions, we combine engineering principles with advanced bodywork techniques to address chronic pain and muscular dysfunction. Founded by Julian Corwin, a former engineer turned certified strength and conditioning specialist, our practice utilizes methodologies like Active Release Technique (ART), Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT), and Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) to identify and resolve root causes of pain. With over a decade of experience, we prioritize personalized treatment plans that restore optimal movement patterns through precise manual therapy and patient education.Our approach emphasizes the brain-muscle connection, leveraging compensation pattern analysis to deliver lasting relief. We serve individuals seeking alternatives to conventional physical therapy, offering tailored sessions that integrate cutting-edge technology like the Vasper System. Our commitment to root cause analysis ensures clients achieve rapid recovery, typically within 4-5 sessions, while equipping them with self-management tools. Located in Santa Rosa, California, we cater to athletes and active individuals requiring specialized rehabilitation solutions.

Active Release Technique
Active Release Technique is an advanced soft tissue management system that breaks up scar tissue and restores normal muscle function. This patented method combines precise pressure with active client movement to treat repetitive stress injuries, restoring strength and range of motion. Effective for carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and athletic injuries.
Neurokinetic Therapy
Neurokinetic Therapy identifies and corrects dysfunctional movement patterns stored in the cerebellum. Through muscle testing and targeted release techniques, this therapy addresses compensation patterns causing chronic pain. Particularly effective for post-injury rehabilitation and improving athletic performance through neurological reprogramming.
Selective Functional Movement Assessment
SFMA provides a comprehensive movement pattern assessment through seven full-body tests. This engineering-based diagnostic system identifies mobility and stability issues causing pain. By mapping dysfunctional patterns, we create targeted treatment plans combining ART and motor control retraining for optimal results.
Anatomy in Motion
Anatomy in Motion analyzes gait patterns and foot mechanics to address whole-body compensation issues. This movement-based system identifies structural imbalances from improper footwear or repetitive stress. Treatment focuses on restoring natural foot function to alleviate pain in knees, hips, and lower back.
Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex
P-DTR therapy addresses sensory receptor dysfunction affecting muscle control. By stimulating deep tendon reflexes, this treatment corrects faulty brain-muscle communication causing chronic tension or weakness. Effective for post-surgical rehabilitation and improving proprioception for enhanced athletic performance.

Questions
What conditions do you treat?
We specialize in chronic pain from muscular dysfunction, including repetitive stress injuries, postural imbalances, and sports-related injuries. Common conditions include shoulder pain, knee pain, and migraines resulting from movement pattern dysfunctions.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients achieve complete resolution in 4-5 sessions, though individual results vary. Athletes with high body awareness may require only one session, while long-term sedentary individuals might need 7-8 sessions for comprehensive rehabilitation.
What makes your approach different?
Our engineering-based methodology focuses on root cause analysis rather than symptom treatment. We combine movement pattern assessment with precise manual therapy to address both the 'hardware' (muscles) and 'software' (neurological patterns) of human movement.
Do you accept insurance?
We operate as a self-pay practice to maintain treatment flexibility and avoid insurance restrictions. Clients receive detailed receipts for potential out-of-network reimbursement submission.
What should I wear to sessions?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows movement assessment of the affected areas. For lower body issues, shorts are recommended to observe muscle engagement patterns during functional movements.
