    Vinny Crispino - Movement Specialist

    Vinny Crispino founded Pain Academy after breaking his back while surfing. As a former D1 Swimmer, he didn't want to accept defeat and began a journey to fix his issues. Vinny shares his journey and how he has helped people who don't move like they used to and struggle with chronic pain, nagging injuries, or other movement issues. We also dive into the mental aspect of running an ultramarathon.

Consistently Terrific Podcast

Zach is a great host with great guests! Especially loved the episode with Vinnie Crispino who suffered a surfing accident and discusses his journey to avoid back surgery and the establishment of the Pain Academy. So many awesome take-aways! Thanks Zach!
