The ASSAL Method
Understand first, then treat
Persistent pain works on three levels. The symptom, which you feel. The compensations, which your body has built to keep going. And the real cause, almost always silent, at the root of it all.
The ASSAL Method traces this thread in reverse, from the symptom back to its starting point. It relies on a five-step approach and on a clinical test that guides the reasoning towards the cause rather than the painful area.
