Games for Pain
Some clients are cleared to train but frightened to move, because it hurts or it used to. Games for Pain gives you fun games to build and use with them, so they move, enjoy it, and stop fearing it.
How do you train a client who is frightened to move?
Games for Pain gives you a toolkit of simple games for clients who are cleared to train but guard against movement, usually because of pain, past injury, or fear it will come back. It costs £375, paid in full or in three payments with Klarna at checkout. When movement becomes a game the guarding drops, and clients do more than a standard session would ever get out of them. You do not just copy the games, you learn to build them for the client and the problem in front of you. It counts as active learning, and free return access is included for life.

Games for Pain is the FASTER course for trainers working with clients who are allowed to train but are frightened of movement, usually because of pain, past injury or a fear that it will come back.

The rep they always cut short is protecting something you can't see
One exercise, every session, cut short. It isn't laziness. Games for Pain is built for the client whose body remembers pain, and it removes the guard.
Injury & PainA client guarding against movement isn't being difficult. Their nervous system is doing exactly what it's built to do
Guarding a once-painful movement is a reflex, not a lack of effort. Games for Pain builds games around that movement, so the guard drops without an argument.
