Freedom from Pain, Chronic Pain Coaching

Integrating skilled physical therapy with the latest advances in modern pain neuroscience, McKay Murdock offers a personalized and empowered approach to your health and healing, with a special emphasis on helping people with chronic pain conditions.

McKay’s treatment approach has evolved and expanded with time and experience, being informed by both western and eastern medicine philosophies. He is a doctor of physical therapy, board certified as an orthopedic specialist, received postgraduate training to perform dry needling (a deep muscle technique using acupuncture needles), regularly performs spine and joint manipulations (similar to chiropractic adjustments), and uses other soft-tissue techniques such as myofascial cupping and IASTM. Skilled hands-on treatments can be very effective in restoring healthy movement and catalyzing your body’s natural healing process. However, McKay is always intentional to not allow a relationship of dependency with these modalities. True healing happens from the inside out. It’s an active, patient-driven process. Careful attention is given to empower the patient during every step of the process, so the healing is both thorough and sustainable.

Chronic pain is an issue for many people and it often gets in the way of having a good quality of life. McKay says how people view their pain can determine what kind of life they live. He shares how many people may view themselves as a "victim" to their bodies. The body feels like an enemy rather than a friend. McKay asserts that our relationship with our body may be strained and that our body may not trust us to care for it. McKay shares his own experiences with chronic pain and anxiety and how reconnecting to his body helped him see suffering differently and heal his body. He says that how we view our experience can help us heal or keep us stuck. McKay helps his clients be an observer to what is going on in their body, mind, and spirit. He helps them shift negative energy patterns and connect wholeheartedly with their body. He believes the body must feel safe in order to heal and balance itself.
McKay believes in enjoying life fully and freely. He loves his work and loves witnessing life-changing transformations in his patients.
