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.

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?
These are goals you'll learn strategies to work toward, not guaranteed results.
Six weeks. A different way to understand pain.
Week 1
Your Nervous System, the House Alarm
Why your alarm sometimes reacts to a leaf like it's a brick.
Week 2
Pain and the Nosy Neighbors
Making sense of why pain can spread or show up somewhere new.
Week 3
Turning Down the Volume
Discover practical ways to help calm a sensitive nervous system.
Week 4
The Pain Committee
Meet the many characters that influence your pain experience. Apparently, everyone has an opinion.
Week 5
Lions, Kittens, and Stress
Discover how stress can turn up your nervous system's alarm.
Week 6
Is the Tissue the Issue?
Explore why pain and tissue damage aren't always the same thing.
All participants receive a workbook, a post-program summary, and an invitation to the Pain Is No Joke™ community for continued learning and connection.
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.”
NM, workshop participant

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.
