The Postural Alignment Therapy we use to eliminate chronic pain is simple and the results are amazing! Our therapy is based on The Egoscue Method® of Posture Alignment Therapy. Founded by Pete Egoscue (pronounced E-gos-cue) in 1978, The method uses a series of gentle exercises and stretches to correct misalignments and reintroduce proper body mechanics. Through performing an individually designed Egoscue exercise (e-cise) menu daily, clients take personal responsibility during their road to recovery. And, once postural deviations are corrected (by strengthening weak muscles and elongating tight or atrophied muscles) Postural Alignment Therapy permanently relieves chronic pain as muscles learn to perform their proper functions and to hold the body in a posturally-sound position. A reduction in pain is often felt after just one session; however, a client’s full recovery is dependent on adherence to one’s daily exercise menu. Understanding how we stop your pain: The Postural Alignment Therapy that we use recognizes that fundamental anatomical, physiological and biomechanical principles govern the human musculoskeletal system. With only very rare exceptions, each person is born with certain core design characteristics that serve as a strong, resilient and efficient operational platform. By using a blueprint of this extraordinary platform as a guide, the goal of the Method is to eliminate disparities that can occur when injuries or negative lifestyle conditions affect the way the musculoskeletal system actually moves as opposed to its underlying structural parameters. By restoring muscular balance, skeletal alignment and the harmonious interplay of internal systems, the body takes a quantum leap in healing power, stamina and physical capability. The Postural Alignment Therapy is not a form of treatment that chases after short term, symptomatic relief.
