She Didn't Just Survive It.
She Solved It.
On June 19, 2005, Becky Curtis went for what she didn't know would be her last run. By evening, she was in emergency surgery after a rollover accident in one of the most remote areas of Montana left her unable to feel or move anything from the neck down. Her C4 vertebrae had burst, damaging half of her spinal cord.
He replied: "I love you from the neck up. Keep breathing."
What followed was years of recovery, chronic pain from an inoperable spinal cord syrinx, and a relentless search for answers that the medical system couldn't provide. What Becky discovered — and what she now teaches — is that the breakthrough didn't come from a medication, a surgery, or a procedure. It came from learning to treat herself as a whole person: biologically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually.
Today she is the founder of Take Courage Coaching: a telehealth-based chronic pain coaching model with peer-reviewed outcomes, and is a nationally recognized speaker who has shared this message from PAINWeek™ to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
