Chronic Neck and Shoulder Pain

This client had chronic neck and shoulder pain for 2 years and we were able to find some drills that made a difference!


She couldn't walk after her accident

In this video the before was filmed by a friend and the after was after our first appointment. This client was in a bad accident and her symptoms got worse over 18 months. Her doctors were puzzled on what was going on. Eventually she couldn't walk without falling down and needed a cane. We were able to help!

More Reviews From Our Clients

See what some of our clients are saying about us!

"I used to think that getting older meant more pain, immobility and a decrease in athletic movement. I was told that as we age our bodies just could not handle as much as they once could. I was told that if my pain was bad now, just wait until I'm 50! This poor perspective was instilled in me from the fitness industry, peers, coworkers and basically anybody who hasn't worked with Neuro Train. For most of my life, I have moved athletically and pain-free, and as a Personal Trainer, my days are literally grounded in movement. After a weightlifting injury to my back, I had felt like every other injury from my youth began to catch up to me and all of my pain became a frequent struggle and difficult to handle. I remember leaving the gym in tears one day, after being so frustrated and sad from my inability to move freely. I'm very grateful to say that I haven't had a moment like that since working with Neuro Train.

Erin has given me the ability to move how I want to without pain, she has helped me increase my strength (in minutes!), increase my mobility, and because of it all - she has given me hope. The hope is what has really changed my paradigm on life, as I can confidently say that I do not have to continue to get worse, I can still grow stronger and I can still do all of the things that bring me joy. The same goes for you! Erin uses the most relevant and up to date Neuroscience to enhance your well-being and make movement FUN and possible again. My quality of life has increased tenfold and I feel powerful, confident and strong because of her! If you have looked "everywhere" and tried "everything" you have come to the perfect spot. Because her work is brain-based and individual, your workouts and sessions are actually catered to you and your needs. Erin is well- educated, compassionate and encouraging, making her the most distinguished Trainer and Specialist I have ever worked with."

-Connor G

“I have been working with Neuro Train for just about 2 months, and I have noticed huge changes in my overall health and have learned so much!  Erin and Patricia both do a wonderful job of educating their clients about how the brain and nervous system function and impact so many of my symptoms.  With Erin's help, I adjusted my nutrition and saw almost immediate improvements with certain health issues, and I especially appreciate how Erin meets me where I'm at in regards to food preferences.  She is patient and has never pushed me beyond the pace that is most comfortable for me.

One of the most respectable aspects of Neuro Train is affordability.  I truly believe effective health care is worth the cost, but Neuro Train combines individual sessions with group classes that allow for the same support to be provided in an affordable way.  I have appreciated their willingness to tailor classes to the needs of those who attend, showing that they know their clients well and are able to adjust course content on short notice.  

I could not recommend Neuro Train more, especially for anyone struggling with multiple health concerns!”

- Lindsey R


“The Unlock Your True Potential program that Erin has developed is, in short, completely awesome.

As a student, this education has been absolutely critical to my well-being and healing progress. Erin's program puts everything in one well-organized place that is easy to follow whether you're a beginner or advanced. The amount of support, guidance, and resources available here is really incredible. Nothing has been left out in the journey of whole-lifestyle training and I can participate in the areas and level that I choose.

As a neuroperformance coach, I am so impressed by the depth of Erin's curriculum and the way she has synthesized the most important ingredients of applied neurology to make them accessible to a wide audience. I know many of my students will benefit from these unique resources and the training app. The content and the approach to training just can't be found anywhere else.

And then there is Erin, herself, a powerhouse of information and experience, ready to offer you the compassionate guidance you want right along with the push you need to keep progressing. While it is impossible to quantify how much all of this improves one's life, it is true that the return on investment is unparalleled.”

- Kelly R


“Let me just say that the 12 month coaching program for unleashing my true potential has been fantastic! The friends I have met in the program are phenomenal! I also have to say that the program makes me extremely happy and I find myself uplifted throughout the weeks that I'm participating. The weekly coaching sessions are very powerful. They are unlike any coaching sessions I have ever had.  The coaching sessions are a time when we learn so much and share so much. If the coaching sessions and workbooks were all that was offered, I would still consider the program a great value. Yet we also get access to the Neuro Train app which is an absolute gold mine!! The classes are fun and motivating! With each class I am rejuvenated! You are hands down the best of the best!”

- Marybeth V


"My name is Penny Brenden and I have been training with Erin for almost 2 years. I have been in 2 horrible car accidents and have many issues with pain in my body. Now that I have been doing Z health with Erin, I can move so much better and my body is responding wonderfully. I am beginning to lose weight and more importantly have very little pain. When I get the pain, I know what exercises to do to alleviate the pain. Woo Hoo!!"

- Penny B.


"I started working with Erin to get some corrections on my form for compound lifts. I had injured myself a few times and hadn't been able to lift for a while. I've been working with her for six weeks and just signed up for another six. Today, I pulled twice the load of the last deadlift that injured me and set a new PR. She might be a wizard...just sayin'."

- Ian D. 


"I've only been doing the small group training classes with Erin for 2 months and have already seen some great changes. I'm much stronger, have better posture and can feel that I'm getting more fit each day. Erin is very attentive to everyone's form which is so important to avoid injuries. I'm excited to continue and keep seeing my progress!"

- Lindsey W.


"In the year I have been working with Erin, I have experienced significant changes in body measurements, increases in strength and improved cardiovascular endurance... all while recovering from two surgeries. Erin designs individualized programs that are customized for the specific needs of each client. During each session Erin will push me to do more than I think is possible, yet she is always mindful of proper body mechanics and and physical limitations. Through consistent and positive feedback and encouragement, Erin is helping me retrain my attitude while training my body. Erin uses a holistic approach that takes into account the interaction between the body and mind."

Lee Ann


“Since Erin began working on me 6 months ago, my lower back and hip maladies have completely disappeared.  I sit a lot with my commute and my desk job, and then I’m a competitive cyclist on the side – so it’s absolutely crucial that my back and legs and knees receive the best care possible.  Erin has mastered the art of making my legs feel brand new so I can get out on the weekends and absolutely maximize my free time for training.  Her work has kept me pain free and for that I’m so grateful.  I’d recommend her to any family and friends looking for massage or bodywork.  She has an incredible gift for healing people!”

 – Megan Hottman, Attorney and Competitive Road Cyclist


“I’ve been lucky enough to work with Erin in all three of her specialties — massage therapy, personal training, and cranial sacral therapy. She is without a doubt the most aware and conscientious body worker I’ve ever worked with, and her training style is both caring and result driven. I have made great strides in the gym, and she cut the occurrences of my migraines by 75%! I would recommend her to anyone, anytime. She changes lives.”

– Shanna Katz, M.Ed


 “In the fall of 2008 I injured my left shoulder that had been injured 8 years previously in a ski injury.  Everything I tried failed to restore it and it was continually causing me pain.  I went to Erin who started to work with it to strengthen the muscles again.  Within about 3 weeks the pain was nearly gone, and after 4 weeks I was pain free.  The shoulder continues to be pain free.  I am very grateful for the concern and care Erin gave to me.”

- Dottie C.


 “For years I have struggled with my weight.  I was not considered unhealthy or obese, but I was close.  I was the typical person who would try all sorts of different approaches for weight loss such as crazy diets and different exercise programs.  I would be motivated for about a week or so and then lose interest or give up because it was too hard.  Erin’s training was rigorous and challenging, but she truly cared and was always positive and encouraging.  That is what made the difference!  I’ve never felt better.  I have lost more than 6% of body fat and 15 pounds in just six weeks with Erin and I don’t plan on stopping there.”

- Rachel M.


"Dear Erin,

When I started seeing you for massage therapy, I described all my problems over the years from pain. Pain from arthritis, back and neck, bone diseases, etc., etc.  I told you how I know doctors try their best, but their training is more or less what they can do once you're already a mess.  And pills.  I wanted and needed to be proactive about the choices I make in my life.  So, you suggested I train with you.  I must admit, you didn't hard sell me.  Yet, the seed was planted.

So, we started training and working together.  Over the past few months, we met three times a week at your gym.  Little by little, I reluctantly, yet in the end, willingly, changed my diet and my physical routine.  You've been gentle, yet firm.  You tailored a program for me that would work to meet my goals.  So much of what we think we are and what we think we are capable of, in the end is just habit.  And any habit can be modified and changed when need be.  You gave me the courage, confidence and knowledge to do just that.

The end result of all this?  I feel better.  I do not suffer from as much chronic pain.  I enjoy my new way of life, both diet and exercise.  I look better.  Most important, I made a pro-active choice to change, to alter my habits and take a stand against my body and physical ailments.  With your help, guidance and love, I can now lead a fuller and more complete life.  I am no longer in such utter fear of how my body will betray me next.  I believe Me, and my physical self are more of a unit and can make decisions together.

Thanks for the transformation.

I love you always"

My Story… 

With over 20 years in the health and fitness industry, working with thousands of clients, I still consider myself a life-long learner. I always pride myself on the notion that if I don’t know how to solve a specific problem, I go and search for the answers.

At the start of my career I was excited about helping people. I naively believed that the science I was taught in school and my certifications was pretty much black and white and held all the answers. I had no idea that science in fact, is not set in stone. It is an ongoing conversation that can and will change as new information arises.

The more I experimented with different diets, fitness programs, modalities and philosophies, the more confused I became as a professional.

It seemed that every other year new information would come out.

Eggs are good for you. Eggs are bad for you…

Carbs are good, now they’re bad.

It was making me crazy!

Not to mention that while I worked on my own health and my clients’ health, I’d get results for a while… but one size didn’t seem to fit all.

There would be a plateau, or set back that would come up that my knowledge of science couldn’t solve.

In 2009 I learned about Paleo, and low carb eating. The information seemed to make sense and so I cut carbs, sugar, dairy, grains, caffeine, and legumes with the idea that these things caused inflammation, and cutting them out was the secret to being healthy for life.

For the first 9 months, I felt great. I had high energy, and was working out all the time…

But I still had painful periods, high anxiety, bloating and bouts of depression.

Overtime I started to feel worse with increased anxiety, and more sleep issues. I started craving carbs and would binge eat. Then I’d become more strict to overcompensate.

After a few years I realized low carb eating was unsustainable. I moved into more flexible dieting. It seemed to make sense with all of the conflicting information on nutrition and honestly I felt like the strict paleo eating turned into a disorder for me.

I got into the kettlebell and powerlifting scene. Functional movement was also big during this time, and high intensity interval training. I would do really hard workouts and ladders thinking the fitter I was = the healthier I would be. I even started running obstacle course races.

I became the leanest I have ever been...

But I started getting injured seemingly out of nowhere.

I’d tweak a knee, tweak my back, get mystery shoulder pain and stiff necks etc.

I of course sought out all kinds of different modalities like chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, craniosacral therapy, cold laser, e-stim, frequency modalities, foam rolling, etc.

These would help for a short time until I got another mystery pain or injury that would set me back again.

Things finally changed when I was introduced to Z-Health. I met a trainer who did Z-Heatlh and he was able to get rid of my shoulder pain and stiff neck in one session doing a vision drill!

I couldn’t believe it!

I worked with this trainer for about 6 months doing drills that targeted my nervous system mixed in with kettlebell and barbell training. I was able to get stronger than I had ever been without getting injured, and I was so excited. I still had painful periods, depression, and anxiety, but I felt like I was on the right track.

I continued my flexible dieting and supplements, eating mostly organic whole foods, and keeping my carbs on the lower side. Over time my sleep started to suffer and I started taking melatonin every night to sleep.

Fast forward to 2016, my life changed instantly.

I was in a car accident and suffered from whiplash and a concussion.

My short term memory became non existant, I couldn’t calculate simple math, my vision would get blurry, I had pain from my neck down to my tailbone and in both hands and feet. I couldn’t workout without pain.

My depression got worse. My sleep got worse. My periods got worse. I was desperate to get better.

I got some relief with the usual chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture, but it was slow progress.

Then 4 months later, my brother died and it was like my body had gone through another car accident over night. Everything that was already not working well, became worse than before.

Untitled design-7.png

 At this point I made the decision to get certified in Z-Health. I started to prepare for my first course R-Phase in December of 2016. I was amazed that my pain and stiffness went away completely for most of the day when I practiced the drills.

By my second course, I-phase, my body felt better… but my grief, depression, and concussion symptoms still affected my everyday life.

Until what seemed like a miracle happened.

I did a banded ankle circle with my colleague, and it was like my personality changed in seconds. The weight of the world fell from my shoulders and suddenly I felt normal, even happy, and I was shocked! It stayed with me for the rest of the weekend!

How could something that simple make such a dramatic change?

By the end of my first year I felt better, but I still dealt with debilitating concussion symptoms…

And then I got sick.

I had an upper respiratory infection that would not go away for 6 months! I was frustrated, and baffled. Not to mention I suddenly put on 15 lbs.

I asked a colleague for help, and he started to teach me about thyroid function. He shared with me the research of Dr. Ray Peat, Dr. Constance Martin, Dr. Broda Barnes, Dr. Katarina Dalton, and so many others that have been suppressed by the pharmaceutical, and food lobbies.

I started to add carbs and sugar back into my diet. I ate more salt, and drank real milk instead of almond milk. I learned how to read labels and avoid toxic additives. I cut out polyunsaturated fatty acids aka PUFA, and stopped the green salads and cruciferous veggies.

Literally within 48 hours my cold was gone! I started to feel better than I had in years!

After 6 months, my periods became regular and less painful, my sleep improved dramatically, and my constant anxiety and depression was gone.

After 2 years, my concussion symptoms were improved dramatically, and by the third year my brain actually worked better than it did before the accident!

I was able to workout without pain, and without getting injured or sick.

I haven’t looked back since.

Today I help my clients overcome their health obstacles, build resilience, get strong, and create the life they desire by focusing on them as the individual.

You have your own unique nervous system, metabolic needs, lifestyle and environment that have shaped the current health state you are in today. Our goal at Neuro Train and Neuro Train Collaborative is to get You RESULTS using a blend of functional neurology, classic neurology, modern painscience, behavior science, different strength and movement modalities, bio chemistry, pro metabolic nutrition, different breathing techniques, and of course with COACHING.

l am obsessed with results, and if I have learned anything in the last 20 years, it is that the best results come when you work closely with a coach. A coach can help you see what you can’t, and keep you accountable to what you say you’re going to do. If something isn’t working the way we planned, then we take a deeper look to see if something is holding you back. Sometimes we may need to change the goal to something more appropriate for your current lifestyle. Every detail from your nutrition, exercises, Neuro drills, breathing drills, and habit changes are centered around what is best for You with Your goals, Your environment and Your daily habits. Let me help You, live your best life.
