ABOUT TRUEREST

A calm place to reset

TrueREST in Alexandria, VA is where your 3 floats happen. Float therapy involves resting in a private pod of warm water saturated with Epsom salt, so your body floats without effort. This is a unique environment where your nervous system shifts from stress mode to deep restoration.

ABOUT PAIN IS NO JOKE™

Learn how pain works

Pain Is No Joke™ is a six-week, small-group experience led by Jen Uschold, a physical therapist and pain science educator. Through movement, playful activities, and practical strategies, you'll learn why pain isn't always what it seems and discover new ways to respond when it shows up.

So, what is Pain Is No Joke™?

Where learning, movement, laughter, and connection are used as evidence-based ways to help you ease pain.

We learn.

Pain science without the glazed-over eyes from high school science class. Understand how your nervous system works and why pain isn't always the enemy.

We move and explore.

Through gentle movement, playful activities, and stories that bring pain science to life, you'll discover practical ways to work with your nervous system. Everything is optional and adaptable.

We connect. And laugh.

You'll be part of a small group where you can ask questions, share experiences, and learn from each other. No comparing pain. No pressure to perform. And yes, there will be laughter.

“I have more control over pain than I thought.”

Christine, six-week participant

Learn more about the Float Spa

Float therapy involves lying in a specially designed pod filled with 10 inches of water and over 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt. This creates a solution so dense that your body naturally floats on the surface, eliminating the effects of gravity on your muscles and joints.

Reduces cortisol levels

65% reduction in cortisol levels after one single float session

Decreases anxiety

40% decrease in anxiety symptoms with regular floating

Improves sleep

75% of clients report improved sleep quality

All amazing benefits for people with pain!

What could be different in six weeks?

Six weeks won't magically make pain disappear. (Wouldn't that be nice?)

What if you walked away understanding your pain differently, knowing practical ways to calm your nervous system, and discovering new choices when pain shows up?

Prevent flares
Recover faster
Reduce intensity
More time between flares

These are goals you'll learn strategies to work toward, not guaranteed results.

Don't just take my word for it.

“During a normal week before Pain Is No Joke, I would have headaches every day and perhaps one full-on migraine. Last week I had one headache.”

Nancy, six-week participant

* Individual results vary*

“What I did not expect was how much fun it would be. Our group of six quickly felt at ease, and Jen made the experience enjoyable from the start.”

Meet Jen

Hi, I'm Jen Uschold, a physical therapist, pain science educator, and health and wellness coach.

After more than 35 years as a physical therapist, I've learned that understanding pain can be a game changer in how we experience it. And learning doesn't have to feel like sitting through another lecture.

That's why I created Pain Is No Joke™.

I combine evidence-based pain science with movement, playful activities, and connection to help people discover new ways to respond to pain.

My goal? To help you take your life back from pain.
