40+ Years of Real-World Impact: From PALM to PAIN IQ
From hands-on healing to wearable physiologic intelligence.
For more than four decades, Jocelyn Cowie has helped people uncover the hidden causes of pain, dysfunction, and declining mobility through PALM — Palpation, Acupressure, and Lymphatic Massage. What began as a hands-on healing methodology has evolved into Sen-SORE and PAIN IQ, a vision for wearable physiologic intelligence designed to help identify, monitor, and respond to inflammation-related dysfunction.
Thousands of individuals have experienced improvements in pain, mobility, function, recovery, and quality of life through PALM-based assessment and treatment. These observations now form the foundation for the development of scalable technologies capable of bringing objective measurement to conditions that have traditionally relied on subjective reporting.
Proven Across Diverse Populations
Over the past 40 years, PALM methodologies have been applied in real-world settings involving:
| Population | Application |
|---|---|
| Chronic Pain & Inflammation | Supporting individuals living with persistent pain, unresolved injuries, and inflammation-related dysfunction |
| Athletic Recovery & Performance | Baseball athletes at the Grand Forks International Baseball Tournament, hockey players, and high-performance athletes seeking faster recovery |
| Repetitive Strain & Workplace Injuries | Helping workers restore mobility, reduce discomfort, and return to productive activity |
| Healthy Aging & Functional Longevity | Assisting older adults in maintaining mobility, independence, and quality of life |
| Complex Conditions | Addressing compensatory patterns, fascial restrictions, tissue congestion, and mobility limitations often missed by conventional approaches |
XPRIZE Healthspan Semifinalist Results
As an XPRIZE Healthspan Semifinalist, the Sen-SORE team expanded decades of clinical observations into a structured evaluation of functional, cognitive, and immune-related outcomes.
Participants reported measurable improvements in mobility, discomfort, function, recovery, and overall well-being following PALM interventions. BioAGE assessments demonstrated positive trends across multiple healthspan domains, supporting the hypothesis that unresolved inflammation may play a significant role in declining function and quality of life.
“People do not experience aging as biomarkers. They experience aging as pain, stiffness, fatigue, reduced mobility, slower recovery, and loss of independence.”
Our mission is to bridge that gap.
Real-World Deployment
- MtnSpa.Institute — Our flagship wellness, education, and innovation center
- Community Clinics — Serving individuals throughout Grand Forks, British Columbia, and surrounding regions
- Athlete Recovery Programs — Supporting competitive athletes, coaches, and sports organizations
- Educational Workshops & Practitioner Training — Teaching PALM principles and self-help techniques to individuals, families, and healthcare providers
- Research & Innovation Partnerships — Including collaborations involving wearable sensing, physiologic monitoring, pain biosignatures, and healthspan technologies
From Intuitive Touch to Physiologic Intelligence
For decades, PALM practitioners have identified physiologic clues through touch:
Tenderness Temperature Changes Tissue Thickening Fascial Restrictions Swelling & Edema Compensatory Movement Patterns Referred Pain Responses
Sen-SORE and PAIN IQ seek to make these observations measurable through wearable physiologic sensing, inflammation mapping, and longitudinal healthspan monitoring.
“Our vision is not simply to treat pain. Our vision is to help people understand what their bodies are trying to tell them — before dysfunction becomes disease.”
The Opportunity
Chronic pain and inflammation are among the most expensive and disabling health challenges worldwide, with economic costs estimated in the hundreds of billions of dollars annually.
