Elite 25

Body pain that hasn’t gone away — even after you’ve tried everything?

Online coaching for back pain, neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, and knee pain — and for body pain that keeps coming back after treatment. Work with Dr. Vince from anywhere.

You’ve stretched, rested, tried the exercises, the scans, maybe the injections. The pain is still there, or it keeps coming back. If other treatments haven’t worked, it may be because they were aimed at the place that hurts, not at what is causing it.

Elite 25 is Dr. Vince Catteruccia’s online coaching service. He works with people in exactly that situation: body pain and physical limits that have not cleared up, and a need for a clear plan they can follow without coming into a clinic. You don’t have to already know the name of his method. You just have to know that what you’ve tried so far hasn’t been enough.

Online coaching, from anywhere

Elite 25 is virtual. You work together in 30- to 45-minute sessions on the things that keep you stuck, so you can stay consistent when life gets busy. The plan is one you can follow from home, from work, or on the road.

In-person, hands-on care is a separate service, Pain & Injury Solutions, on its own page. This page is for Elite 25 only.

How Dr. Vince helps — and what’s different

Most care chases the sore spot. Dr. Vince looks upstream — at how you move, how you sit and stand through a workday, and what in the chain is driving the pain you feel. Then he builds a plan around you, not around a generic protocol.

Online, that means a careful look at how you move, and a coaching plan you can follow from anywhere. The plan is personalized, and you learn what to do on your own, so you are not starting over every time the pain returns.

This is not physical therapy. Dr. Vince is a registered kinesiotherapist certified in ART. The goal is not a clever diagnosis label. It is a clearer picture of why the problem is still there, and a practical way to work on it.

He works with people who have persistent pain and movement problems through Elite 25 online coaching.

The method behind it

The Living Pain Free Method

The Living Pain Free Method is how Dr. Vince works with people whose body pain keeps coming back after treatment. It has three categories: Understand, Overcome, and Pursue. As he writes in Damned by the Diagnosis, if you understand and overcome your pain, you can pursue the life you desire.

Understand — See what is actually driving the pain

Most care starts at the sore spot. This step starts earlier. Dr. Vince takes a careful look at how you move, how you sit and stand through a day, and what in the chain is driving the pain you feel. The place that hurts is often the victim, not the cause — which is why earlier treatment may have helped for a while and then faded. You leave this step with a clearer picture of what is going on, in language you can actually use.

Overcome — Work the plan, not just the sore spot

Once you know what is driving the pain, the work can aim at that, not only at where it hurts. In Elite 25, you work together online: a guided coaching plan and regular virtual sessions you can do from anywhere, built around how you actually move through a workday. The idea is simple: calm what is keeping the problem going, then rebuild how you move so the change has a chance to hold. You are not handed a generic protocol. The plan is built around your body and your life.

Pursue — Get back to the life you want

The point of the work is not a clever diagnosis label. It is getting back to the life you want — and knowing what to practice so you are not starting over every time the pain returns. You learn how to take care of your body yourself, with the aim of independence, not a cycle of maintenance that never ends. That is the pursue in the method: understand and overcome your pain, so you can pursue the life you desire.

“Vince has helped hundreds of our now mutual clients – Vince’s approach is like Renaissance sculpture – literally – you can see the body respond to his work in 1080p color graphics.”

— Dan Minnich

FAQ

What if nothing has worked?

That’s often why people come here. If stretches, rest, scans, or other treatment haven’t lasted, it may be because the plan was aimed at the sore spot instead of what is driving it. The first step is a careful look at how you move and what’s going on, then a coaching plan you can follow from anywhere.

How does online coaching work?

You and Dr. Vince meet by video. Free consult calls run 30 to 45 minutes. Together you look at how you move and what’s keeping the pain coming back, then you leave with a plan you can actually use — from home, from work, or on the road.

Are you a physical therapist?

No. Dr. Vince is a registered kinesiotherapist (RKT), not a physical therapist. If you’re looking for physical therapy, this is a different kind of care.

Do I need a referral?

We welcome referrals from physicians, physical therapists, and other healthcare providers. If you’ve been referred to us, mention it when you book and we’ll make sure your provider gets a summary of your visit.

How long is a consult?

Elite 25 free consult calls run 30 to 45 minutes.

What’s the difference between Elite 25 and Pain & Injury Solutions?

Elite 25 is online coaching you can do from anywhere. Pain & Injury Solutions is in-person, hands-on care at the Appleton clinic. Same practitioner, two different ways to work together. If you need a plan you can follow from home or on the road, you’re in the right place. If you’re local and want hands-on treatment, start with the Pain & Injury Solutions page.

If you’re ready to look at what’s actually driving the pain, book a free consult or text Jennifer and we’ll get you started.
