Megan Doyle, MS, OTR/L, FPS, Cert-APHPT Megan graduated from Marquette University with a BS in Exercise Science and a Psychology Minor in 2010, then obtained a MS in Occupational Therapy from Indiana University in 2012. In her initial years as an occupational therapist, she worked in a multitude of settings focused on adult populations, but always felt drawn to mental and behavioral health, wellness, and pain management. This led to Megan obtaining certification as a Therapeutic Pain Specialist through ISPI/EIM in 2017, which she followed by achieving Fellowship in Pain Sciences in 2020. In addition, she has certification as an Applied Prevention Health Promotion Therapist. Megan provides routine consultation to both individuals and groups regarding treatment for both acute and persistent pain from a holistic, person-centered perspective as well as presenting annually at both local and national conferences as well as teaching courses on pain and wellness topics to both healthcare and within the community. She became a co-founder of Navigate Pain, LLC in 2021 to move pain care “upstream” and empower individuals and companies with the strategies they need to treat pain from a comprehensive, self-management focus.

Navigate Pain is changing the game by intervening with individuals who are at-risk for long-term musculoskeletal conditions by getting to them before their cases become chronic, avoiding multiple complications before they have a chance to manifest.

We had a great conversation about this process and how they plan to interrupt the current system of that’s overly dependent on the treating practitioner. Patients should be in control of their own health and Navigate Pain provides them with the tools to do that. We hope you enjoy this episode. Please leave your comments.

We meet at the crossroads of healthcare and technology to discuss the future of human health and wellness.

And telehealth is not just video visits!

Ms. Ground’s greatest expertise is in leading change, a significant need in implementing virtual care, and in working with leaders to clearly define a measurable problem before implementing a new approach to care. Her greatest passion now is working with healthcare leaders to lower the cost of the American healthcare system without lowering clinical outcomes OR improving clinical outcomes without increasing the cost.

Jan led Kaiser Permanente Colorado’s first Innovation Team, and she is an expert at asking provocative questions that lead to viable solutions and 360 degree buy-in.
