Founded by Dr. Norman Marcus, and under the leadership of Desiree Lee we exist to correct one of healthcare’s most consequential oversights: muscle pain. Our mission is simple but ambitious: ending unnecessary suffering from chronic muscle pain through ground breaking research, relentless advocacy, and structured education.
Global advocacy for muscle health awareness
Understanding the global crisis in pain management
We challenge conventional muscle pain beliefs.
Muscle pain is one of the most misunderstood and mistreated causes of chronic suffering.
Our mission is to change that -through scientific research, education, and systemic advocacy.

Hear why FRAME is changing the way we understand pain.
Despite the fact that in United States 64 million adults experience chronic pain, 1.71 billion people globally live with musculoskeletal conditions, and Americans spend $380 Billion on low back and neck pain muscle pain remains largely invisible in medical training, clinical guidelines, and healthcare policy.
This blind spot forces millions into unnecessary surgeries, ineffective treatments, and years of preventable suffering.
We are here to change that.
FRAME leads a global movement through groundbreaking research, transformational medical education, and relentless advocacy.
Our work validates muscle-centric approaches to pain, equips clinicians with skills they were never taught, and drives systemic reform so muscle pain is recognized as essential in modern healthcare.
We partner with medical institutions, researchers, philanthropists, and forward-thinking leaders who share our belief that better science, better education, and better systems can transform millions of lives.
Long-term pain leads to physical decline, depression, and isolation.
Resources wasted on ineffective interventions that miss the root cause.
Chronic pain costs the U.S. alone billions each year—exceeding annual expenditures on cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
Chronic pain costs more than cancer, heart disease, and diabetes combined.
Long-term pain leads to physical decline, depression, and isolation.
Resources wasted on ineffective interventions that miss the root cause.
FRAME is led by experts driven to close the muscle pain knowledge gap.
United by purpose and backed by decades of experience, our team is working to transform how muscle pain is recognized, treated, and understood around the world.
