1 in 5 people have chronic pain, 80% don’t get best practice care.
Permission to Move's Online Course and Telehealth program are designed to treat chronic pain and get people back to what matters. From the founders of Tame the Beast.
What Professor Lorimer Moseley, co-author of Explain Pain says —
“A blended model of care that is both sensible and doable ... I recommend more patients to Dave’s clinic than I do to anyone else. This is because I think they are indeed filling an important, missing bit.”

Why we made this course
There is a massive human cost of chronic pain and we need to take a different approach. Together we can bridge the gap between research and what is done in practice with research-based treatments that work.

“You train your brain and it’s more powerful than any opioid you could take. You need to see that light at the end of the tunnel and make a beeline for it.”

Gianluca
“I just had to work through with the pain - training was the only medicine that would help… I’ve been running a lot now, playing soccer again, kicking goals, I’m the fastest on the team.”

Kristy
“It’s such a huge journey in such a short amount of time. I genuinely never ever thought I would be doing the things that I’m doing and I never thought that they would be pain free.”
