Chronic pain doesn’t come from one place — and it can’t be healed in isolation.

In this episode of Vibe Science, we sit down with Vinny Crispino, founder of Pain Academy, to unpack his journey from elite Division I swimmer to a life-altering back injury that forced him to rethink everything he knew about healing.

After years of surgeries, rehab protocols, and specialists that focused only on the injury, Vinny discovered that true healing required a broader approach — one that integrates movement, nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and whole-body function.

This episode explores:

• Why pain often lingers long after injuries “heal”

• The limits of Western medicine — and where it shines

• How emotional stress shows up physically in the body

• Why compensation patterns create chronic pain cycles

• The power of awareness in reconnecting mind and body

• How healing pain often transforms relationships and quality of life

Vinny shares why pain is not a flaw — but feedback — and how learning to listen to your body can unlock physical freedom and emotional clarity.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, broken, or afraid to move again, this conversation offers a radically empowering perspective.

Keep up with Vinny!
