Uncover the true origins of pain. Restore your clients’ healthy movement (and peace of mind).
Become THE ONE who knows how to fix pain, even when everything else has failed.
A client shows up with an intimidating diagnosis and a stack of X-rays, and most bodyworkers assume they can’t do very much to help him.
- Rub the knots out.
- Suggest some lifestyle changes.
- Book his next appointment (or twelve).
- Rinse and repeat.
Week after week, he comes back with the same pain in the same spot.
Sometimes it gets a little better, but that never lasts. He’s increasingly frustrated with his lack of progress, and starting to worry about how this will affect his career. His marriage.
The rest of his life.
His doctor is recommending surgery.
Neither of you want that, but you’ve tried every technique you can think of, and nothing seems to make a lasting difference.
In the end, you decide this issue must be outside your scope of practice, beyond your level of expertise. You believe what modern medicine wants you to believe—that a diagnosis is indisputable, the end-all-be-all, and that you are under-equipped to do anything to help this guy.
But you’re not.
Modern medicine views most pain as resulting from a condition: an “-itis,” or nerve damage, or an injury. In other words, pain originates from the outside→in.
This worldview permeates nearly every pain management modality, from bodywork and physical therapy to personal training and yoga. Treatments range from ineffective “strengthening” exercises, to addictive opiates, to invasive surgery—and most of the time, none of it works.
And yet, nobody questions it, because we’ve all been taught to believe the party line about pain:
- Pain always comes back.
- Pain is caused by injury.
- Pain is caused by muscle weakness.
- The muscles aren’t firing in the right order.
- It’s not possible to resolve pain in a meaningful, long-lasting way (without surgery or meds).
But it is possible.
Current pain research shows that pain is a sensation generated by the central nervous system, in response to “danger” signals it receives from various points of input throughout the body.
(Source: Lorimer Moseley, Fifteen Years of Explaining Pain: The Past, Present, and Future)
These inputs can be physical, mental, or even emotional. But when it comes to most severe and/or chronic pain, injury is not the primary source.
"Tissue damage is neither necessary nor sufficient for pain." -Lorimer Moseley, Professor, University of S. Australia
The most common inputs come from a phenomenon that every practitioner is familiar with, but few understand - TRIGGER POINT REFERRAL.
“Bah humbug. I studied that in school; it doesn’t work.” - all my students, whenever we get to this part
I get it.
You believe in your teachers; you’re inspired by your mentors. The notion that they could have been wrong about something so elemental—or that you have a gap in your knowledge despite your extensive training— it’s uncomfortable.
So before we go any further, consider this:
Every day, you hold space for people in pain—physical, emotional, both. You lay hands on their knotted, stress-wracked bodies, you do your best to melt away their edges.
If they can walk out of your clinic feeling even a tiny bit better, you’ll have made a profound impact on their lives. That’s why they keep coming back. And nobody is trying to take that away from you.
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge.” - Stephen Hawking
Wouldn’t you want to? Even if it meant reexamining some of the things you *think* you know?
It’s time to throw open the doors, you guys. Healing pain is possible—IF you know how to identify and treat it at its source.
Which I do.
And I can teach you how to do it, too—if you’re willing to question what you’ve been taught to believe about pain.
My story…
I started practicing traditional Thai massage in the early 2000s. A few months after opening my clinic, I had to admit an uncomfortable truth—I didn’t know how to help people with pain issues.
Clients would show up with these official-sounding diagnoses, and I had no idea what to. I was stymied by my lack of formal anatomy training, and the last thing I wanted to do was make the pain worse. There were NO existing theories or modalities available to help me help these people.
But when I set out to fix what I assumed were just my own personal knowledge gaps, I discovered something even more alarming—
My teachers never taught me how to pinpoint and treat the true sources of pain, because they didn’t know either.
Nobody did!
**glass shattering**
So, I decided to go on a quest. As one does.
I spent the next two decades immersed in research and clinical study. I combed through a multitude of modalities and theories, teaching myself functional anatomy along the way, trial-and-error-ing my findings on real people in my clinic.
Eventually, I zeroed in on the forgotten intricacies of trigger point therapy, which seemed to really work (until it didn’t).
So I added some of my movement-based Thai techniques into the mix, and that seemed to work even better! (Until it didn’t.)
Then I came across this guy, who had some verrrry interesting things to say about where pain really comes from. But even he had some missing pieces.
After twenty years of study and experimentation, I finally figured it out.
The secret to treating pain wasn’t any one thing—each of these modalities held a piece of the puzzle. No one had put them together before, because no one knew they could.
I named my new method Coaching The Body™, for reasons I’ll explain in a sec. This approach is designed to root out pain at its source—and treat it—in a way that’s effective, fast, and long-lasting.
Coaching The Body™ is built around three major components:
Modern Neuroscience
The root cause of most chronic and/or severe pain is NOT that we’re profoundly injured; it’s that we’re stuck in a neurological loop of pain adaptations.
A steady stream of “danger!” inputs can lead the brain to interpret a situation as painful and “lock down” that area of the body, rendering pain-free movement impossible. Over time, this pain pattern can become the “new norm,” and pain signals can continue to flow long after the initial problem has been resolved.
It’s like the nervous system gets stuck in a pain-response loop, and the body doesn’t know how to turn it off.
Most of the experts in this field are getting impressive results by addressing these patterns as a way to alleviate pain—but even that is an outside in understanding of pain.
What they’re missing is what’s causing those inputs in the first place.
Trigger Point Therapy “2.0”
The trigger point techniques most of us learned in school are:
- Static. There’s no movement involved; the client just lies there while you do your work.
- Isolated. Working on one muscle at a time, without considering satellite referral patterns or functional relationships between muscles.
Mainstream teachings only present a fraction of the trigger point picture, and most practitioners (including those who’ve studied them extensively) have a limited understanding of referral patterns—especially satellite referrals—and their role in the pain response.
This is where most of the inputs that cause a neurological pain response come from. But even the most comprehensive trigger point therapies are still missing a vital component. That’s why we refer to our methods as Trigger Point Therapy “2.0.”
Functional Muscle Knowledge & Movement-Based Treatment
Releasing the taut fibers caused by trigger points and calming down the central nervous system are crucial to long-term pain relief.
But they’re like two-thirds of a wheel—without the missing section, we can’t get very far.
The final piece was what I had when I first started out—movement. In order to dissolve pain (even the severe, chronic kind) at its source, the affected muscle needs to move through its natural range of motion without experiencing pain. In this way, we’re able to show the body and brain that “lockdown mode” is no longer necessary.
Using intentional, guided movement, we’re able to eradicate pain quickly, safely, and without the discomfort associated with most existing treatments.
That’s why it’s called *Coaching* The Body, (not ‘manipulating the body’ or ‘manhandling the body into submission’).
Pain doesn’t come from the outside-in, as most of us believed. It originates from the inside-out, in an intricate pattern of inputs and responses.
In order to free the body from pain, then, we need to coax it out of those pain patterns, by gently nudging back into healthy ones. The body must be an active participant in its own healing.
It just needs a little help. You know—a coach. Like you.
And we’re not trying to keep it a secret, either—as soon as we had the basic techniques and methodology figured out, we started teaching them to other practitioners. We’ve been doing that for over ten years now.
And while we offer plenty of in-person trainings in our hometown of Chicago—with no plans to slow down anytime soon—we can only reach so many people that way.
But I want everyone to know how to treat pain.
Finally, after decades of piecing this all together and distilling it into a cohesive program that can be taught to anyone (regardless of experience OR geographical location) my team and I are thrilled to introduce our complete online training program.
Before we get into that, though, I want to address the top three concerns people have about our methodology:
Blank
I’m afraid I’m not qualified to learn / practice this stuff.
For example: a yoga instructor with no formal anatomy training; a personal trainer who isn’t traditionally expected (or in some cases, allowed) to do manual therapy, and therefore never had to study trigger point referral; a massage therapist who’s doing her best to help her clients, but hasn’t made significant progress with any of them—and so many more.
Our lessons are structured in small-bite sequences that focus on one muscle group at a time. We take you through a series of specific protocols for each group, so you don’t have to spend two decades figuring it all out. (I already did that part for you.) You’ll be able to tackle most major pain complaints by simply following the protocols.
I already have lots of training and don’t need any more. Skip to the part about the fancy tool.
But the tool ONLY WORKS when the proper theory and analysis are put into practice as well. We’ll never sell the tool without the training, because a) we know it won’t work, and b) we’re not okay with that.
This isn’t the Shamwow. If all you want is the tool, you’re in the wrong place.
Isn’t this outside my scope of practice?
I *could* go on a rant about how the mainstream medical industry puts these laws in place to intimidate practitioners, or how much money these institutions would lose if those same practitioners were able to resolve pain for good—without expensive, invasive surgeries or addictive narcotics… but that wouldn’t be helpful.
This is an issue we’ve struggled with for years, and will continue to struggle with, until the laws change. That said, we have successful students practicing in at least 17 different states, from a variety of backgrounds (yoga, fitness, etc.), all of whom have figured out a way to make it work.
Our program is designed to give you direct access to both your instructors and your fellow students—and we’re ALL driven to help as many people as we can. Because there’s such disparity from one state to the next (and on top of that, different professions are regulated differently), there isn’t one blanket answer I can give you here. But what I CAN tell you is that we’re constantly working on this, and you have our full support.
We know that what we’re saying (and doing) about pain is controversial to some.
But no matter how much controversy comes our way, we’ll never stop teaching our students, or treating our clients, or getting this information out to as many people as we possibly can. Why? Because it works.
"I’m a COTA, every patient I have has some type of shoulder pain. In the first 2 weeks of this class, I’ve been able to effectively assess where the pain is actually coming from. I’ve helped 5 people eliminate their pain using the techniques Chuck teaches." - Dawn Pabst – CTB Membership Student

Your Muscle Liberator™ ships after 90 days.A Pain Hacker Success Story: Krista Matison
Krista's practice is booked months in advance, and she even counts several MDs among her clientele.
She is a yoga teacher in northern Minnesota who came to us because she saw so many students in pain, and really wanted to be able to help them. She was nervous about her lack of formal training, and unsure about whether or not she’d be able to build a successful practice with Coaching The Body techniques. Today, Krista has created a unique offering combining CTB and yoga therapy techniques.
Enter The Muscle Liberator™
The mad-scientist invention that cuts treatment time in half
The very nature of manual therapy is limiting—you can only do so much by hand before you have to give your thumbs and shoulders a break, and it’s only able to create a minimal amount of neurological distraction.
We knew that certain “therapeutic vibration” tools (more on these below) could accelerate treatment time, save our bodies, and provide optimal distraction.
So we started looking for a handheld tool that could be adapted for Coaching The Body™.
*NOTE: We wanted a tool that would facilitate Trigger Point Therapy 2.0—NOT massage. What we do is not a form of massage.
We designed it by adapting an existing handheld power tool—not because we wanted to be cool (although we know it looks that way), but because we didn’t want to reinvent the wheel. These compact power tools are designed to be operated with one hand. They already have the ideal motor, mechanisms, variable speed and RPMs.
Coaching The Body™ trigger point work requires a precise combination of power, RPMs, specificity, and head elasticity. The Liberator was designed specifically for this type of work, and using it has dramatically sped up the therapy process for us.
Since incorporating the Muscle Liberator™ into our practice, we’ve noticed…
- We can treat pain conditions more quickly.
We used to allocate 90 minutes to treat one shoulder; using the Muscle Liberator™ we can now easily treat both in that time.
- We’re getting more done in each session.
We can address multiple pain complaints (i.e. shoulder pain AND sciatica) instead of just one.
- Clients are reporting less tenderness and discomfort during their treatments.
This enables us to work more deeply and thoroughly.
- We are able to soften taut fibers in a matter of seconds.
When the trigger points release, they stop sending alarm-bell inputs to the central nervous system, and the pain response is interrupted right away.
- Clients think it’s super cool.
We were worried our clients would recoil when they saw us bust out the power tool—but they’re actually really into it.
- It makes our practice unique among competitors.
You can only get these tools from us, and we only sell them to trained CTB practitioners, so they have an air of specialness about them.
- Our clients are kind of obsessed with us.
Because what we’re doing actually works, they’re able to walk out of a session in significantly less pain than when they walked in. They’ve become a loyal, committed fanbase who sends us tons of referrals.
- We’re saving our hands, arms, shoulders, and backs.
Which means we can treat more clients in a day, and don’t have to worry about our bodies giving out anytime soon.
Check out how we use the Muscle Liberator™ to treat sciatica pain in the video below:
You can spend $1,000 on fancy standing mixer, but if you don’t understand the chemistry of baking, your cake is a Pinterest fail waiting to happen.
In other words: this isn’t about getting a “better tool,” or any other silver-bullet approach. Chasing after the latest greatest gadget—without addressing where pain really comes from—is just another version of “rubbing where it hurts,” which doesn’t work. Tool or no tool.
The Muscle Liberator™ is only one component of the larger methodology, and when you learn with us, you’ll learn how to treat pain manually BEFORE incorporating the tool.
For that reason, we only make the Liberator available to Coaching The Body™ practitioners and members.
Become known as the one person who can actually fix pain, even when other modalities have failed.

Your Muscle Liberator™ ships after 90 days.You can build a thriving, talked-about practice—by treating your clients so effectively they don’t need to come back.
The existing paradigm is to fill your practice with weekly clients, whose treatment plans never end. This limits the amount of people you can see to those who can afford you, and fosters a defeatist attitude about treating pain—it’s something to manage; not eliminate.
In the early stages of my practice, I worried about this a lot. What would happen when I eradicated my clients’ pain for good? If I resolved all their issues, they’d leave!
And you know what? Clients did leave.
They left, and they told anyone who would listen about how their lifelong lower back pain was gone (yes, gone). They sent me their grumbling dads. Their hurting friends. Their complaining coworkers.
Those people got results, too. And they talked about it. A practitioner who can make pain go away for good doesn’t stay a secret for long.
I was able to treat more people, because my treatment cycles were shorter—especially after bringing the Liberator into the mix. Clients were happy, because they were getting results, and I was happy, because I was doing what I’d wanted to do all along—helping people.
Your practice needs to support you financially AND emotionally.
When you become THE expert at treating pain, your rates can and should reflect that. Your clients will gladly pay for something if it works—and they’ll be grateful they don’t have to commit to an indefinite treatment plan.
They won’t be in pain anymore, and you’ll be able to see and help more people than you ever could before.
Everybody wins!
It’s all about the protocols.
Any practitioner can learn to utilize Coaching The Body™, no matter what your background is in.
“Rubbing where it hurts” is not an effective way to resolve pain. It may feel better for a short time (like a few hours), but the pain will inevitably return—because where it hurts is usually not where the source of the problem lies—and until you begin to address THAT, the pain is going to stay put.
Pain is complicated. You can spend twenty years studying what causes it (ahem), but that still has to translate into an effective 60-90 minute treatment session. Without some support around how to design your treatments to get results, you might as well be flying blind.
Also, with so many potential sources of satellite referral, it’s easy to miss something important.
Take my client Alyssa, who came to me with severe migraine headaches. Using traditional trigger point techniques, I treated what I thought was the root cause—but her headaches kept coming back.
Eventually I came across some information on satellite referral from a much-overlooked muscle in the shoulder complex. I treated it—and her headaches went away.
When treating pain, it’s vital that you hit EVERY muscle that could remotely affect the issue—in a specific, sequential order.
That’s why we’ve distilled our years of clinical research and experimentation into a series of intelligent protocols—step-by-step sequences to assess and treat the most common pain complaints (and lots of less common ones, too).
In this way, we’ve taken the guesswork out of treating pain. Each step builds on the one before it, so you’re still responding to the unique symptoms of each client—without having to reinvent the wheel every time.

Coaching The Body™ Membership Training
Weekly, muscle-specific lessons to help you eradicate pain at its source
How It Works...
Working backwards from the initial complaint (neck pain, sciatica, etc.), Coaching The Body™ practitioners move through a meticulous sequence of protocols, addressing each muscle that could be relevant, to treat the pain at its source.
This intensive online training is structured according to the pain. We start with the most common and intimidating pain issues—which also happen to be the most impactful*—and walk you through the treatment protocols for each of the muscle groups involved.
*frozen shoulder, we’re talking to you!
We’ve set this up so you can start working ASAP—but we’re also not going to overwhelm you with too much information all at once.
Lessons are dripped out in an easily digestible, weekly format that’s been intentionally curated in a specific, logical order. As soon as you’ve completed a lesson, you can put your learning into practice.
That means you could be treating someone’s shoulder in just over three weeks from right now.
Lessons will be added to your member dashboard, where you can watch and re-watch them as many times as you want, whenever you want, for the rest of your natural-born life. 😉
Even if you decide not to renew your membership at the end of the year.
Interactive workshops and Q&A
Throughout the year, my team and I host live workshops and demonstrations. You’ll be able to ask questions in real time, and stay in the loop as we continue to fine-tune these groundbreaking techniques.
In addition to that, you’ll have two ways to interact with faculty and your fellow students:
- We monitor and respond to in-course comments every day
- A private mastermind group where you’ll have direct access to your teachers, other practitioners, and fellow students
Your teachers are putting these concepts into practice every day, with real clients—and you get to watch.
It’s one thing to sit in your office and watch some training videos. It’s quite another to work with an actual human being who’s experiencing severe pain.
We’re constantly putting these ideas to the test with real clients. And we record all our treatment sessions.
As a member, you’ll have access to these recorded treatment sessions via your member dashboard. You’ll see us working on a range of pain issues, body types, and personalities.
Oh yeah, that Liberator thing…
First and foremost, we want you to understand the overarching methodology and techniques of Coaching The Body™. The way this training works, you’ll learn the protocols without the tool, and then see how to incorporate it if you wish.
The tool will improve your efficiency, and for some practitioners, it may expand the types of clients you’re able to see. The lessons in this program will teach you how to practice with or without it.
That said, each lesson includes special training devoted to the Muscle Liberator™.
Coaching The Body™ Membership Training: What You’ll Learn
Each weekly lesson begins with the assessments and analysis you’ll need to perform in order to determine the proper treatment protocols.
The bulk of each lesson will focus on these protocols. Using video demonstration and other visual aids, we’ll walk you through exactly what to do in what order, specific to each muscle group.
Each section includes a review of what you’ve learned, a look at perpetuating factors (i.e. why the pain showed up in the first place), and the self-care recommendations you’ll need—so the pain stays away once it’s gone.
LESSON OVERVIEW
Weeks 1-20: Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is hands-down our most commonly treated issue, and pain in this area can originate from any number of trigger points and referral patterns. We’ll start with protocols for treating the rotator cuff, and move outward from there. We even have lessons devoted to treating frozen shoulder and rounded shoulder posture.
Weeks 21-32: Sciatica
We start with an overview of the common symptoms and root causes of this painful condition, and demonstrate treatment protocols for all the muscles involved, including satellite referrals and all relevant functional relationships.
Weeks 33-44: Knee Pain
Working our way down from hips to ankles, we’ll examine every possible contributor to chronic knee pain, and how to treat it. This section also includes recommendations for rehab protocols.
Weeks 45-52: Hip, Thigh, & Groin Pain
Weeks 45-52: Hip, Thigh, & Groin Pain
We’ll finish the year with a detailed exploration of some of the more specific complaints and muscles related to the hips, thigh and groin.
Ongoing Training
After your first year, you’ll have all the tools and resources you need to treat many of the most common pain issues you’ll encounter in your clinic. As we move into year two, we’ll dive into low back pain, foot and ankle pain, and more.
Additional Certifications
We offer specialist certifications throughout the year that focus on specific pain areas. As a member, you'll receive a discounted rate on these workshops, and upon completion you’ll be added to our directory of certified practitioners. We get many client inquiries about specific pain conditions, and we'll be able to refer them to you.

Cancel at any time prior to the yearly renewal.
You will always retain access to the lessons that you've already paid for.
Nobody wants to face the possibility that all that education and training only provided part of the story.
Or that there was a way to help that one heartbreaking client you just couldn’t crack—you just didn’t know it existed.
Questioning a longstanding, pervasive worldview is no small task. It’s scary and risky to defy what everyone else is saying—especially when “everyone else” includes MDs and spinal surgeons.
Reexamining all the things you thought you knew, contemplating the notion that there might be another (better) way than what you were taught—that takes courage. Trying something new, something nobody else is doing—that’s an act of bravery.
A leap of faith.
But you’ve already taken a leap of faith—when you left your corporate job to become a massage therapist. When you opened your own clinic instead of working for someone else.
And you take another leap of faith every time you welcome a hurting client into your space.
You’re a pro at being brave.
Now you can be a pro at treating pain, too.
Become known as the one person who can actually fix pain, even when other modalities have failed.

Meet Your Teachers
Chuck Duff
Founder, Coaching The Body™
Chuck left a lucrative (but soul-sucking) career in software development to pursue training in traditional Thai massage. He opened his first clinic, Thai Bodywork, in 2001, and quickly became frustrated with the lack of resources available for deep, long-term pain relief.
During his decades-long quest to understand the true nature of pain, he rediscovered the forgotten nuances of trigger point therapy, and realized he could integrate that with his training in Thai techniques. He developed Coaching The Body™ through years of research and clinical study, and has been teaching it since 2005.
Chuck's in-person and online teaching has now achieved international recognition as one of the most sophisticated and successful approaches in the world for treatment of pain and dysfunction.
Doug Ringwald
Certified Advanced Practitioner
Doug was a yoga instructor (and a musician, and a graphic designer, and a soccer player) with chronic back pain. As long as he was practicing yoga, he wasn’t in pain.
But he found himself unable to help his students with their chronic and severe pain. He felt frustrated by his lack of knowledge in functional anatomy and kinesiology.
Doug explored a myriad of learning opportunities—but after a life-changing experience with Thai massage, he decided to enroll in Chuck Duff’s Level I training program. And we still can’t get rid of him. 🙂
Three years later, Doug quit his job in digital publishing to pursue full-time bodywork. He’s been teaching alongside Chuck since 2014, and he now sees clients at his Highland Park clinic in addition to his training and curriculum development at CTBI.
