About Our Guest: 

Jim Prussack’s journey into chronic pain treatment began even before his physical therapy training. Struggling with his own health issues, he realized traditional methods often failed to address persistent pain effectively. This led him to pursue deeper knowledge, including a second master’s in Physiotherapy in Australia, where he learned about pain science and the role of the nervous system in pain perception. Influenced by renowned figures like Dr. Peter O’Sullivan, Lorimer Moseley, and David Butler, Jim also explored mindfulness and meditation, completing intensive Vipassana retreats and learning from experts like Jon Kabat-Zinn. His approach evolved further under the guidance of Dr. John Sarno and Dr. Howard Schubiner, emphasizing the mind-body connection in healing chronic pain. Now a certified SIRPA practitioner, Jim helps patients understand how emotions and thoughts impact physical health, combining scientific insight with holistic methods.
