from Heal Podcast - Lily Patrascu

Chronic Pain Specialist Shares How To Reduce Chronic Pain - Julie Donnelly and Lily Patrascu Julie Donnelly is a chronic pain specialist, educator, and founder of the Muscle Memory Systems approach who has helped thousands of people resolve pain at its source since 1989. After overcoming her own injuries and working with athletes, she developed simple self-treatment techniques now used worldwide. She explains that many chronic pains come from tight muscle “knots” that pull on joints and restrict movement. Her method involves locating these knots and applying cycles of direct pressure and release to restore blood flow and reduce pain. Ultimately, her work focuses on empowering people to understand the root cause of pain and use practical, body-based techniques to support long-term relief and mobility.
