Here’s what makes this different

This class teaches you to read pain as information and to work with two simple rules. Philipp shows you how your body produces a pain signal to protect you, how to pace what he calls your “body budget” so you stop swinging between boom and bust, and how to recover in the right order: first calm the signal down, then build your capacity back up.

Here’s who you’re learning from

Philipp Tischendorf

Philipp Tischendorf competed for two decades on the German national figure skating team, then trained as a physiotherapist and osteopath, and now practices in Zurich. He learned this the hard way.

An adductor injury turned into chronic inflammation of the pubic bone and cost him almost a full season. The hardest part was the uncertainty, and the habit of handing every answer to his coaches and doctors. What turned it around was one practitioner who helped him make sense of his pain and rebuild trust in his body.

“What he did for me is what I now do for others.”
Philipp Tischendorf

Here’s what you’ll learn

1What pain actually isand why your body produces it, so a flare stops feeling like a mystery.
2The difference between hurt and harmso you know when to ease off and when it’s safe to keep going.
3The boom-and-bust cycleand the body-budget way to get off it. Think of your body like a bank account: every session is a withdrawal, rest is a deposit.
4Pacinghow to find your baseline and build from it without overdrawing.
5The two rules of recoverycalm it down, then build it back up.
6The biopsychosocial picturehow your mind, your stress, and your life all feed into pain, and what that means for getting better.

Here’s what’s inside

The SessionPhilipp’s full talk, walking through the three parts of his approach (understanding pain, making sense of it, and recovery), with the metaphors that make it stick.
The Q&AA recording of a live Q&A with adult skaters, answering the questions you’re probably already asking.

You can watch it tonight from your couch with nothing more than a notebook. Most skaters feel the fear drop just from finally understanding what’s going on.

Here’s what changes for you

Less fear when something hurts, and a clear plan for what to do when it does.
You pace smarter, so your energy holds across the week.
You trust your own signals again, and stop handing all the power to other people.
The same tools reach past skating too, into everyday aches, stress, and sleep.
