What is Postural Alignment Therapy?

Egoscue Posture Alignment Therapy is a holistic approach to pain relief and body balance that focuses on restoring the body’s natural alignment. The therapy is based on the idea that many chronic pain issues, such as back, neck, hip, or knee pain are often caused by misalignments in the musculoskeletal system.

Through a series of personalized movements, the therapy helps re-educate the body to move more efficiently and symmetrically. These movements target muscle imbalances and functional weaknesses, encouraging proper joint positioning and optimal movement patterns. 

Posture is important because it affects nearly every aspect of your health and well-being.

Here's why:

• Reduces Pain and Injury: Good posture keeps bones and joints in proper alignment, which reduces stress on muscles, ligaments, and joints helping to prevent chronic pain.

• Improves Breathing and Circulation: When your posture is aligned, your lungs have more room to expand and your blood flows more efficiently, boosting energy levels and focus.

• Enhances Movement and Performance: Proper posture supports balanced muscle use and joint function, which improves coordination, flexibility, and strength.

• Supports Organ Function: Slouching or poor alignment can compress internal organs, affecting digestion, circulation, and other vital functions.

• Boosts Confidence and Mood: Standing or sitting tall can positively influence how you feel and how others perceive you, good posture is linked to improved mood, reduced stress, and greater self-confidence.
