Are you in pain? Do you have a chronic injury that prevents you from doing the things you enjoy? Do want to improve your improve your balance, mobility , and/or athletic performance? Do you get nagging recurring injuries ?
Then we may have the answer for you! Pain Free Postural Therapy has a 94% success rate, all without the use of manipulation, drugs, or surgery. We use a method developed by renowned anatomical Physicist Pete Egoscue, used by therapists world wide to put an end to chronic pain, rehabilitate injuries, improve general health and posture, prepare the inactive for more vigorous exercise, and boost athletic performance. Postural therapy is used by people from all walks of life, from pro athletes to the elderly to rid themselves of pain.
What Is Posture Therapy ?
We deal with the body as a whole, as opposed to just the site of the pain. Often, the site of the pain is NOT the cause of the problem. The root cause of a client’s shoulder pain may be their hip. The root cause of a client’s right hip pain may be their left ankle or their spinal curve. The body functions as a unit and deviations from balanced posture will often result in pain or limitations at a completely different site to the original area due to compensation.
Think of pain as your body’s way of communicating with you. If your car’s wheels were out of alignment, you may find that your tires are wearing out quickly or unevenly, or your wheel may squeal etc. Similarly with the human body. If you deviate too far from alignment, your body will often let you know.The good news is that we can listen to what the body is trying to tell us!
When we correct the individual’s misalignments, the improvement in pain is often immediate. The design of the human body is incredible! The body’s ability to heal itself when given the right conditions is miraculous. But we need to restore alignment, restore it’s basic engineering, restore posture – and with it comes the ability to run, jump, lift, and be back to your active self.
