Summary
Sam Visnic believes staying on the cutting edge is the key to FASTER results. Learning new techniques, research, & integrating the best approaches to both clinical massage therapy and movement re-education are essential to understanding pain.
Sam is the founder of Release Muscle Therapy, where he provides pain relief through clinical massage and movement. He is also the owner of the Visnic Center For Integrated Health, whose focus is "on assisting clients with achieving the highest levels of health and vitality through an integrated approach."
Sam began his career as a personal trainer at 19 during the fitness boom of the 1980s. He quickly found his niche in corrective exercise and decided to become a massage therapist subspecializing in neuromuscular therapist.
He describes the trajectory of his career and his expertise in his field as ever-evolving as knowledge about the human body expands over time. He quips, "What happens is, the more you learn in this field, the more challenging your clients get."
Sam explains how his approach progressed in the past two decades, from an initial perspective that was purely mechanistic in its view of the body to one that is entirely holistic—known as the Biopsychosocial model of pain assessment and treatment. His open-mindedness and relentless drive to learn as much as he can earned Sam the reputation of being the go-to guy for difficult cases among his peers.
Listen in as Sam shares why developing the ability to build rapport with clients can be a game-changer for anyone in his field, why hypnotherapy is "the next thing", how your brain controls how you feel pain independent from what's actually happening to your body, and how to rewire your mind to dismantle unproductive beliefs.
