Introduce yourself

Hey Tino! Thanks for joining. No worries about schooling … I also obtained a graduate degree that in essence gave me the social affordances to be a healthcare clinician. We have to take the good bits we can use and move on. Keep us posted about schooling. I suspect that may lead to many good discussions with the community.

Hi everyone!

I'm a former massage therapist+ a personaltrainer and a first year physio student from Finland.

Dr. Ray is one of the people that made want to keep educating myself and get in to physio school (even though physio school does not seem to offer a lot more than a license to practice when you graduate).

I hope to learn more from the community and maybe exchange ideas.

Hi everyone! Oliver here. I live in Virginia Beach, VA right now, but have been following Dr. Ray even since the time I was living in Japan, back in 2018. I'm not a healthcare practitioner, but am interested in general study, practice, and models in the field, since health is a universal issue. I do practice barbell strength training, which is how I discovered Dr. Ray's work.

TL;DR: Not a HCW (yet), here for the book club, yes I lift 😆

Hello everyone!

My name is Jonathan Smith. I’m a physical therapist in South Alabama. Long time follower of Barbell Medicine and Clinical Athlete which is where I first discovered Dr. Ray. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed what I’ve learned in listening and reading the work from Dr. Ray and I especially admire his treatment philosophy of patient centered care and the “why” behind the intervention, as it relates to that specific person and their goals. Being in a rural area not known for its healthy population, I have an extreme passion for the impact of a person’s pain experience and for overall population health. I look forward to seeing Tame Pain explode and can’t wait to support it in any way I can. Dr. Ray and company has radically changed the why I take care of patients and has influenced those around me as well.

In health,

Jonathan

Hey Cody! Thanks for joining the forum. Out of curiosity, what are your plans after graduation?

Hey everyone! I am a current physical therapy student at the University of St. Augustine and I will be graduating in 2023. I was originally introduced to Dr. Ray's work and wisdom through the BBM community and I am looking forward to learning more through everyone here in the Tame Pain community!

Hey Jan! Thanks for joining. Looking forward to future discussions with everyone.

Hi Tame Pain community

Excited to see this community grow and exchange ideas. Thanks for creating this space.

Cheers from South Africa
