The Egoscue Methodology
Posture is neccessary in everyday life. When the body's posture is out of alignment it begins to compensate for the imbalance causing muscle tightness, decreased flexibility, and eventually the onset of pain. If left untreated, this can also lead to injury and or poor athletic performance. While many treatments target symptomatic pain relief, these modalities tend to be temporary fixes to the underlying problems. Whereas, postural alignment therapy seeks out the root of the pain. By treating posture and its dyfunctional habits you can eliminate the reason why pain occurs, prevent common injuries, and increase athletic performance.
Structured around the theories and principles of the Egoscue Method, you will begin to experience the benefits of better posture immediately. After your initial session, you may experience that you are walking and standing taller, improved balance, and slight to moderate pain relief. This however, may only last for a brief period of time. The body has yet to learn how to hold this new posture and therefore reverts back to its original dysfunctional state. Please note this is not a quick fix. Remember, it has taken you a lifetime to develop these specific muscular and mechanical compensations. The process of change and degree of success will take some time and work on your part. However, with continued therapy and training your posture will become more and more functional providing long lasting and permanent pain relief.
Current modalities such as chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, or traditional physical therapies offer a "hands on" manipulative approach to pain relief. As a result, these modalities require you to return on a normal basis, yielding dependency upon others to relieve your pain. Postural Alignment Therapy on the other hand, provides the tools necessary to take back and manage your healthcare on your own.
By following the body's original blueprint- the standing anatomical position,
