Painalog: Zero-meds solution for your chronic pain

If I said back pain is the leading cause of rising rates of drug addictions in the US you may think  I am crazy. The unfortunate truth is that too many young men and women have died unnecessarily. The documentary produced by Fusion (available on Netflix) exposes the nefarious nexus between medical practitioners and pharma corporations resulting in indiscriminate opioids prescription for simple injuries like back pain. Today many opioid dependencies do not start at a rave party but in the sanitized room of medical practitioner.

The opioid crisis is in part a crisis of trust but also a crisis of knowledge.

Since the 1960s researchers and physiotherapists have using the pain framework of Trigger point therapy to help people beat pain related to muscle dysfunction. Muscle dysfunction has been related to almost 70% of most human complaints like Back Pain, Knee pain and other common painful conditions.

All this pain has been my inspiration and for them Today I launch my app Painalog. An app that offers a Zero Meds self-care solution to chronic pain using Trigger point therapy, advanced 3D mapping and simple exercises designed from my ten years as a Thai Massage practitioner and instructor. 

To download the app click on your device link below.

The app is still in beta but also free to use for the next three months. If you are a practising massage therapist you can save a huge an amount of time you would normally spend analyzing your clients’ pain pattern by using Painalog’s advanced pain analytics algorithm.

Or if you are just someone who suffers from chronic pain then Painalog can help you identify the root cause of your pain and offer you easy solutions for it.

So go ahead and try out Painalog and write in with feedback, improvement and suggestions.

My Gratitude

This app would not have been possible without the help of many friends and some amazingly gifted vendors and developers.

In particular, I would like to honor my master Sri Kulavadhuta Satpurananda for inspiring me on this journey, Artemiy Gruzdev for the amazingly light code he developed (34 MB!) for an app with a 3D model, Rupesh P for his UI design, Pradeep for his guidance and advice, Dr.Madhura Gopalaswamy for her awesome anatomical work, video producers Shashank and Katrina, all 21 of my funders who helped bankroll a significant chunk of this project and for my family who tolerated my constant absence over these two years as I burnt the proverbial midnight oil.

Thank you everyone, for this amazing work and support and here is to the hope that many people will find some relief from daily suffering and be more grounded and aware of their bodies.

By no means is this journey over. There are so many improvements to be made on this product and so many directions I want to take this app in. I believe it can help many people as it evolves over time and I hope you will help continue to support me.

With Metta
