Postural Alignment Specialist The Egoscue Method
What is Posture Therapy?
Posture therapy is not just about sitting upright and pulling shoulders back, consciously trying to force their body into a position. This is not comfortable or sustainable
This Therapy is targeted to improve the balance of your muscles from left to right, from front to back, because it’s the balance of these muscles that determines your body alignment. The person is given gentle posture correction exercises to do daily. That unconsciously can sustain better posture
Why do we get Pain and Poor Posture and Movement?
Modern day lifestyle at work and home, previous injuries and habits lead to inefficient/ poor movement, wear and tear and injuries
Traditionally, exercises that are given by therapists and clinicians, are designed to address your symptoms and are frequently local to the pain and NOT the Underlying Cause.

- Allowing you to improved performance and function better in day to day activities and sport.
The Effects of Poor Posture
You might feel nothing, uneven, un- comfortable or be in pain.
Miss alignment creates compensation within the body making you more prone to not optimal performance in day to day tasks, sports or can create injury.
Miss alignment does not stop there it has effect on the whole body and can also effect breathing, digestion, headaches and many other systems in your day to day health.
The body functioning less efficiently leads to wear and tear, impingement and pain.
What is Different about this approach?
Based on 50 years of effective Egoscue of effective therapy experience a trained Postural Alignment Specialist looks and treats the whole-body structure as a unit that works together
By assessing posture and movement we treat the underlying compensations, habits and patterns that are causing recurrent injury and chronic pain.
When one of the joints is moved out of alignment it has a chain reaction on all the other joints throughout the body system. If you change the length and tension of one muscle group all the other muscles in the body have to reorganise themselves relative to this change of position.
Identifying, Learning and practising basic prescribed movements helps your body to break its habits and develop more effective patterns, giving on going improved movement, reduce the bodies adaptation, pain and brings the body back to its natural alignment and a better quality of life.
