I’m Alex | Pain Neutralisation Specialist - My Foundation: From Performance to Persistent Pain

My journey began with a fascination for human movement and injury prevention. After completing my training in Sport and Exercise Science, I worked with elite athletes at the AUT Millennium Institute, focusing on rehabilitation and high-level performance. However, through my work in personal training and rehab, I noticed a recurring pattern: many people living with chronic pain weren't responding to conventional, strength-based, or mechanical treatments. Their bodies weren't just "weak" or "tight"—their nervous systems were stuck.

This realization led me to Pain Neutralisation Therapy (PNT). Developed by Dr. Stephen Kaufman, PNT is a sophisticated, light-touch approach that works with the body’s reflexes to "switch off" chronic pain signals.

Unlike traditional manual therapy, PNT is exceptionally gentle. By using light fingertip pressure on specific reflex points, I help quiet irritated nerves and release protective muscle tension. My goal is to calm the "pain loops" that keep the body in a state of stress, allowing for a genuine nervous system reset. Because this work is so non-invasive, it is a powerful option for those dealing with migraines, sciatica, fibromyalgia, or long-standing tension that hasn't budged with deeper pressure.

Coming from a background in sport science, I remain grounded in a science-based understanding of the body, but I pair this with a deep respect for the individual’s experience of pain. I believe that healing happens best when the body feels safe. My focus is on helping you regain confidence in your movement and providing you with the strategies to maintain that relief long-term. 

If you are looking for a gentle yet effective way to manage persistent pain or complex symptoms, I look forward to working with you. Together, we can help your body move toward a state of balance and ease.
