Lara Birk, PhD
The Sage Practice
Lara Birk, PhD, has lived with persistent pain for 35 years following a rare medical emergency at age 16. A delayed diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome led to 17 surgeries that saved her legs but left lasting physical damage.
Lara went on to become a sociology professor, researching people's experiences with persistent pain. After discovering pain neuroscience and mind-body approaches, she became a coach and teacher, as well as Curable's expert in structural symptoms.
Today she helps people build lives bigger than their pain. Her story even helped an Australian physiotherapist recognize acute compartment syndrome in time to save a patient's leg — an example of how sharing experiences can change lives. Lara's mission is to turn her experience into work that eases suffering and empowers others to live fully again.
