"I was able to go from not being able to walk more than 30-40 steps to walking over 13,000 steps without pain in less than 3 weeks! I can’t believe this transformation can happen. It’s the best money I’ve ever spent on my health!"
Nune Sargsyan
Kentucky, USA
Enduring two years of debilitating groin pain, Nune's world was constrained to mere steps, robbing her of the joys of dance, basic errands, and visits to her loved ones despite exhausting every medical avenue. Our paths converged shortly after her hip replacement, amidst lingering discomfort.
In just three weeks, Nune underwent a staggering metamorphosis. From the agony of taking a mere 30-40 steps, she emerged triumphant, conquering 13,000 pain-free strides. Soon, she reclaimed her ability to journey internationally to visit her family, bolster her self-assurance, and even enhance her sleep quality.

"I did not expect to be able to run, exercise, and live fatigue-free again!"
Edel Jordan
Coach & Entrepreneur
Ireland
Edel suffered from a severe bout of chronic fatigue, which started in 2016, and included 6 months in bed. Years later, she improved to the point of being able to work again, but she felt constrained - she needed to rest, and schedule her day to avoid fatigue. She thought that would be her ceiling. But within 3 weeks, she was running and strength training, able to live life freely again. Edel's confidence levels "skyrocketed" as she learned that she's in control, able to feel her emotions and sit with them instead of pushing them away, and returned to the essence of who she was - a strong and brazen woman.

"I really felt my days of doing the things I loved most were over. But I've returned to many of the activities I previously could not and remain optimistic for the future."
Ben Garland
Cyclist
Arizona, USA
My name is Ben and I was a competitive age group triathlete for many years. As I became more competitive I begun to experience what I later realized were TMS symptoms. For me this was muscle spasms/pain primarily in the upper leg. This progressed to a level where it would prevent me from performing basic functions of my normal life, not to mention took me out of racing. I tried every medical test under the sun and spent over $10,000 on tests, screenings, MRI's, etc... I even had one doc tell me I likely had early onset ALS or MS. I really felt my days of doing the things I loved most were over. I first found Dr. Sarno's literature which led me to Alec through a fellow athlete who had achieved recovery. My work with Alec was profound and highly effective. I made progress physically and took huge leaps forward on a deeper personal level all of which helped reduce symptoms. I've returned to many of the activities I previously could not and remain optimistic for the future.
"After not being able to walk for 5 minutes without stopping because of pain, I'm now doing 15 mile family hikes again. It's the best investment I've made since seeing Eckhart Tolle live!"
John Kenny
Scotland, UK
Meet John, who endured nearly three decades of chronic pain in various parts of his body including his ankles, shoulders, knees, neck, and hands. When we started working together, John struggled to peel a single carrot or swim more than 10 strokes. He needed special modifications to his car, and had to use the airport assistance line whenever he flew.
John's transformation was truly dramatic. Within weeks of working together, his pain started to decrease and the stories about what he believed his body was capable of fell away. Within months, he unlocked a newfound level of freedom in his body, embarking on hour-long runs, all-day hikes, and mile-long swims. Now largely pain free, his physical feats continue to push the boundaries of what the human body is capable of.

"After suffering with migraines for 15 years, I've learned to stop them in their tracks."
Claire Joyce
Ireland
"I had suffered from migraines since I was a teenager. I believed something was physically wrong with me, and was always fearful of when my migraines would strike again. Over the course of a month’s coaching with Alec, I learned what truly triggered my migraines - not my perceived allergies - but my repressed emotions. The transformation has lasted - it's been well over a year since I took a painkiller for a migraine. I was very resistant to this entire concept at first, but with Alec’s initiative and empathetic approach, I choose to trust myself and be curious about my physical sensations and pain. Trust your curiosity, too.”
"In just a month, my debilitating back pain decreased significantly!"
Malkie Rothman
New York City, USA
I began working with Alec after seven months of debilitating back pain from two herniated discs -- and no relief from physical therapy, chiropractor, acupuncture, etc. Despite uncertainty about a mind-body approach, I figured I had nothing to lose. I am so glad I went for it. I gained valuable insight into the connection between thoughts/emotions and physical well-being -- and the scientific data to back it up. More significantly, in just a month, my pain decreased significantly, allowing me to resume activities like running, yoga, and tennis. Alec is an incredibly thoughtful person and super knowledgeable, exactly the combination you want for this type of work.

"I had seen 5 physical therapists, 3 doctors, received cortisone injections, and even got arthroscopic knee surgery, but my knee was still in pain. Now I am squatting 100 lbs no problem!"
Emily T.
Swimmer & Cyclist
San Francisco, CA
“When I had a conversation with Alec, I was suffering from knee pain for over two years, and was diagnosed with Runner’s Knee. I had seen 5 physical therapists, 3 doctors, received cortisone injections, and even got arthroscopic knee surgery, but was still in pain post-surgery. I wasn’t swimming, cycling, and was barely walking to manage flare-ups; I was even nervous to go into the office because it was too much walking.
After Alec introduced me to the idea that the ongoing pain may not be from a structural issue with my knee, but rather a learned response in my brain, my recovery was incredible. Within weeks, I went back to swimming, biking, hiking, and yoga, and even did a huge trip to Patagonia where I did a 5 day trek. Now I am squatting 100 lbs no problem! I really haven’t had knee pain for 9 months, aside from a single flare-up. I’m so grateful to have my life and hobbies back!”
Hi! I'm Alec.
And I was in constant pain just like you.
In 2011, I was diagnosed with a ruptured spinal disc. It ended my promising cycling career, and I withdrew from college - partially bedridden, depressed, and on strong painkillers.
I tried every physical treatment I could find - none worked.
My life changed when I discovered from a pioneering chronic pain doctor how the brain creates pain.
I became pain free not by fixing my back, but by realizing nothing was wrong with it in the first place.
I'm not special - tens of thousands of others have done the same.
Despite still having the same ruptured disc, I haven't had chronic back pain, or had to worry about my back, in over a decade.
And using my Pain Free Comeback Methodology, I've empowered numerous athletes and chronic pain sufferers to create their own breakthroughs - without drugs, surgery, or physical treatments.
My mission is to change the way the world sees and treats chronic pain - from 'pain management' to 'pain free'.
