Around one in four American adults (about 24-25%) experienced chronic pain in 2023, with a significant portion (around 8-9%) having high-impact chronic pain that limits daily life, according to recent CDC and NIH data. This prevalence increased post-pandemic, affecting over 60 million people, with higher rates among women, older adults, and American Indian, Alaska, and Native populations.
Let’s explore The Unexpected Link Between Movement and Pain with Eileen Kopsaftis. For over three decades, I’ve worked in varied clinical settings, including acute hospital care, outpatient rehab, homecare, and nursing facilities, helping thousands reclaim pain-free, independent lives. My approach focuses on functional movement and nutrition education to challenge the idea that aging means inevitable physical decline.
As a certified expert in applied functional science, my methods go beyond traditional therapy. I’ve condensed my decades of expertise into two best-selling books, Pain Culprits and Aging Culprits, both designed to empower people with practical strategies for resolving pain and maintaining strength, mobility, and vitality at any age. My background also includes a nutrition educator diploma, which allows me to uncover powerful links between diet and chronic pain.
If you’re interested in conversations that break through myths about aging and chronic pain and offer actionable, science-based insights, this conversation is for you. Eileen is passionate about empowering others to move without pain and have lifelong wellbeing. She believes life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured.
