Mission Statement

Our mission is to conduct groundbreaking research on muscle pain in order to change the way the medical community assesses and treats pain.

About This Cause

The Foundation for Research and Advocacy for Muscle Pain Education (FRAME) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to supporting and informing the medical community and patients on the important role muscles play in acute and chronic pain. FRAME is the first non-profit organization dedicated to understanding (furthering the current research of) the role of muscles and other soft tissue in acute and chronic pain. Despite muscles accounting for approximately 40% of our body in weight and being the most common reason for low back pain, the mechanisms causing muscle pain are absent in current medical curricula or post-graduate training, causing them to be overlooked by most clinicians. Ignoring soft tissue and muscles leads physicians to overemphasize the bony spine and nerve tissue as the source of pain, thereby performing often unsuccessful, expensive, and potentially damaging interventions. It is FRAME’s goal to be at the forefront of the current standard of care.
