Ashley Pehar is an osteopathic manual practitioner and the creator of the Life in Motion Program, a structured, nervous system-informed approach to persistent pain, chronic stress, and sustainable recovery.

Her work integrates osteopathic care, Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), nervous system education, behavioural change, and embodied regulation to support individuals navigating persistent pain, overload, burnout, and prolonged states of physiological stress.

Through years of clinical practice, Ashley began noticing that many people living with persistent symptoms were not simply dealing with structural problems alone. They were navigating nervous system dysregulation, chronic overload, prolonged stress physiology, and deeply ingrained survival patterns that continued shaping pain, fatigue, tension, and recovery capacity.

This observation led her toward an integrated biopsychosocial approach that moves beyond purely structural models of care by combining hands-on osteopathic treatment with contemporary pain neuroscience, nervous system regulation, behavioural change, and psychologically informed care.

Ashley now works across two primary areas:

• Structured care for persistent pain and chronic symptom patterns through the Life in Motion Program
• Nervous system-informed support for high performers and individuals navigating chronic stress, overload, and burnout through Capacity Under Pressure

Across both pathways, her work focuses on helping people better understand the relationship between nervous system state, behaviour, stress physiology, pain, recovery, and long-term capacity.

She has completed Mastery Training in Pain Reprocessing Therapy and is listed on the official Pain Reprocessing Therapy Center practitioner directory.

Ashley brings over 15 years of experience across healthcare and clinical settings, including clinical research, therapeutic movement, and osteopathic practice. Her work reflects an evolving shift within manual therapy and performance care by integrating physiology, psychology, behaviour, and nervous system health into a more comprehensive model of recovery and resilience.

She is deeply interested in how modern life, chronic pressure, and prolonged states of overdrive shape both physical symptoms and overall wellbeing. Her work is grounded in the belief that sustainable healing and performance require more than symptom management alone. They require safety, awareness, adaptability, and the capacity to work with the body rather than against it.
