“Without proper movement and stimulation our bodies deteriorate and cease to function as they should’’ Egoscue Method

The simplified image of human form shown below demonstrates correct anatomical positioning of all load bearing joints. As you can see, the shoulders, hips, knees and ankles are all symmetrical from left to right, and they stack directly on top of each other. Load bearing should be equal front to back and side to side. When the skeleton is properly aligned this way, the body is very effective at remaining balanced and moving efficiently without pain.

Your pain and symptoms exist because your body is out of alignment and balance. Your body can become out of alignment due to an old injury, accident, hours of sitting behind a desk, sofa or car, repetitive use of the same muscles from exercise or work. When the body does not move enough, the resulting muscular imbalances and compensations can lead to abnormal wear and tear, joint degeneration, pain, issues with mental and physical capabilities. The nervous, digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic and immune systems are all dependant, to a large extent on musculoskeletal function.

Posture Alignment Therapy assesses the cause of your pain and symptoms by treating the whole body as a unit. This approach corrects the compensations and dysfunctions by realigning the body to its functional posture design. By following this approach your overall health will improve and you will protect your body against future dysfunctions.

Posture Alignment therapy does not involve hands-on-therapy, but instead we focus on why you have pain or symptoms in the area of your body and then we teach you to complete posture exercises you can do yourself at home to wake up sleepy muscles to bring your body back into balance. We give you the tools for you to take ownership of your own health by bringing the body back into alignment.

To get the best results from this method you will need to be motivated, disciplined and committed to the process by completing your personalised plan on a regular basis. Once you start to see and feel the benefits it can be easy to add the routine into your daily life, just like brushing your teeth everyday.
