About me
Alec Kassin is a Certified Neuroplastic Symptom Recovery Coach, international speaker,
Co-Founder of Pain Free Comeback, and founding member of the ATNS Coaches Advisory
Council. A former semi-pro cyclist, Alec’s athletic career was cut short at 18 when a diagnosis of
a ruptured spinal disc left him partially bedridden, on strong painkillers, and in constant pain. He
made a full recovery using a mindbody approach and is happily free of chronic back pain today
— with the same ruptured spinal disc.
Alec specializes in working with athletes and has coached Kona Ironman triathletes, CEOs,
NCAA Division I athletes, ultramarathoners, American Ninja Warriors, and countless people of
all ages and ability levels who simply want to return to the activities they love.
He has collaborated with Dr. David Schechter, SIRPA, Curable, and others, and has trained with
leading pioneers in neuroplastic medicine, including Dr. Howard Schubiner, Mark Lumley, Ph.D,
Charlie Merrill, MSPT, and Dr. Alicia Batson. He has also presented to organizations including
Coca-Cola and Airbnb. Alec is passionate about bringing the neuroplastic message to wider
audiences and helping shift the conversation around chronic pain from pain management to
pain free.
Alec’s first book — about helping athletes with neuroplastic symptoms — is due out this fall.
