Most fitness trainers teach mobility and strength—but the real cause of chronic pain often starts in tight, shortened muscles that pull joints out of alignment.
This NASM-approved home-study course gives you the tools to correct those imbalances using The Pain-Free Athlete Method, developed by muscular therapist Julie Donnelly, LMT, founder of Julstro Worldwide and creator of JMOMT®.
Learn to quickly release muscle tension, improve range of motion, and help clients stay active, strong, and pain-free.

The Pain-Free Athlete Method focuses on the muscular causes of pain that most programs overlook. You’ll learn how to identify tight, shortened muscles that pull joints out of alignment—and discover practical techniques to release them for lasting relief and better movement.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
Identify the muscular causes of joint and nerve pain throughout the body.
Apply safe, highly effective self-treatment techniques to restore alignment and relieve discomfort.
Teach clients how to use simple tools—balls, rollers, and bodyweight—to maintain pain-free mobility.
Integrate Focused Flexibility Training to lengthen muscles safely after release.
Design corrective and preventive programs for every level of athlete or active adult.
