“I feel like my muscles are always tight.”

We hear this all the time—and here’s something important to know:

Sometimes it’s not just the muscles.
It’s the whole system doing its best to protect you.

Pain isn’t always a sign that something is damaged. Often, it’s your body reacting to stress, habits, posture, movement patterns, or feeling unsafe with movement.

When we understand how the body moves and protects itself, things start to make more sense—and that’s when real change can happen.

That’s why we like to explain stress vs. tension in a simple, relatable way that helps people feel less confused and less afraid of their bodies.

💬 Comment “This helps” if an explanation like this has helped you better understand your pain or movement journey.

Every healthcare professional is welcome!

In 2026, PSPT’s Founder and CEO, Dr. Orit Hickman, PT, DPT, TPS, launched a free monthly webinar focused on evidence-informed pain science in physical therapy.

This webinar is designed for Physical Therapists, medical providers, and allied health professionals who are curious, committed to growth, and dedicated to providing thoughtful, up-to-date care.

Once a month, clinicians come together for practical, knowledge-rich conversations that support clinical decision-making and reconnect us with why we chose this work.

Learning together about what truly matters.

Are you living with persistent pain?

If so, we’d love to invite you to a free monthly webinar we’re hosting to make pain science clear, practical, and empowering.

Our pilot topic:
Pain Isn’t Always Damage: Understanding What Pain Really Means

This is for anyone living with chronic pain—and for providers who may know someone who could benefit from this kind of support and education.

You’ll receive the Zoom link by email.

Hope to see you on Monday.

Persistent pain is rarely resolved by a single treatment. Meaningful, lasting improvement comes from a whole-person approach rooted in modern pain science and evidence-based physical therapy.

When education helps reshape how the nervous system interprets pain, movement is reintroduced with intention, and care is truly patient-centered, outcomes can change—even for individuals living with chronic or long-standing pain.

This biopsychosocial, pain-informed framework is the foundation of the Pain Science Physical Therapy (PSPT) approach.

If you support patients who feel stuck or have not responded to traditional care, we welcome collaborative referrals.

What if end-of-life care could be more natural, meaningful, and better for the earth? 🌱

If you’ve tried treatment after treatment and still feel stuck with pain, this is for you.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by care that didn’t work, confused by conflicting advice, or dismissed because scans “look normal,” you’re not alone.

In this free webinar, Dr. Orit Hickman shares the neuroscience-based tools she uses every day in her physical therapy clinic to help people with persistent pain, chronic pain, and long-standing injuries rebuild confidence, calm their nervous system, and return to the life they love.

You’ll learn:
• Why pain can persist even after tissues have healed
• How an overprotective nervous system drives ongoing pain
• The real root causes of chronic pain that are often overlooked
• Practical pain science tools you can start using right away to reduce fear, calm flare-ups, and move with confidence again

This webinar is for people who:
• Are ready to take back control of their pain
• Want clarity, not more confusion
• Are done with quick fixes that don’t last
• Are curious about how pain, the brain, and the nervous system really work

You don’t have to be an athlete. You just have to want your life back.

This is not about pushing through pain.
It’s about understanding your system and working with it, not against it.

Thank you to our PT, SPT, and healthcare community for showing up every day for your patients.

Your work changes lives.

We’re excited to keep growing with you in 2026.

As a company, we learned that staying true to our core values is what keeps us moving forward.

For our patients, we learned that they need us far beyond the clinic walls.
We are not just here to give exercises. We are here to educate and empower people to understand what they are experiencing.

We also learned that we have many ways to support healing. Through social media, videos, infographics, and other creative tools, we can help patients feel informed, confident, and supported.

2025 reminded us that people heal best when they feel safe, understood, and supported.

Thank you to our colleagues for the work you do every day.

How about you? What did you learn this year?
