Julian Corwin

Pain & Performance Solutions is a bodywork practice that utilizes a range of systems and techniques to aid muscle recovery and fix muscular dysfunction. Our goal is to help you find your path to complete healing and move with ease. We offer a free phone consultation to determine if our services are a good fit for you.

Our practice is led by Julian Corwin, CSCS, CMT. Julian has a unique background that combines engineering and bodywork. He graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo with a degree in Electrical Engineering in 2007. After working as an engineer for a few years, he developed an interest in fitness and the human body. However, this transition resulted in multiple soft tissue injuries and chronic pain. His personal experience with chronic pain led him to seek out alternative solutions and discover Active Release Technique, which completely resolved his pain. This experience set Julian on a new career path of learning about the human body and solving chronic pain.

Services Offered

At Pain & Performance Solutions, we utilize a range of bodywork systems and techniques to help you find relief and heal. These techniques include:

• Active Release Technique (ART): This technique is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue system/movement-based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves.
• Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA): This is a series of full-body movement tests that reveal your greatest areas of limitation or dysfunction.
• Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT): This technique identifies and corrects imbalances in the nervous system that are causing pain and dysfunction.
• Proprioceptive - Deep Tendon Reflex (P-DTR): This technique uses muscle testing to identify and correct abnormal reflex patterns that are causing pain and dysfunction.
• Anatomy in Motion (AiM): This technique uses movement to identify and address the root causes of pain and dysfunction in the body.

Our practice is committed to providing you with the very best care. We are proud to offer the Vasper System to our clients, which was developed by NASA and helps us get your body working at its healthiest level.

Understanding Muscular Dysfunction

At Pain & Performance Solutions, we believe that everything to do with healthy movement is centered around the brain. The muscles provide information about their state to the brain, but only the brain can control them and tell them how to move. The way to solve motor problems is to fix the broken communication between muscles and the brain. There are many aspects of motor control that resemble control systems from engineering.

Compensation Patterns

When a muscle sends false information to the brain, the brain sets up a compensation pattern. These compensation patterns can be effective and continue to be used indefinitely, or they can become dysfunctional and create additional compensations. Eliminating these compensations and restoring proper function of the muscles is the primary purpose of NeuroKinetic Therapy.
