What is Postural Alignment Therapy
Postural Alignment Therapy can help you can achieve true pain relief without the use of medication, manipulation, or invasive surgeries. Our therapy a process involves a series of stretches and gentle exercises designed specifically for each client. This process strengthens specific muscles and brings the body back to its proper alignment and functioning the way it was designed—pain free.
You might ask yourself, “How did I get this way?”
When the body 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 usually only offer temporary fixes to the underlying problems. Whereas, postural alignment therapy seeks out the root of the pain. By treating poor posture and its dysfunctionals you can eliminate the reason why pain occurs, prevent common injuries, and increase athletic performance.
“Is this a quick fix?”
Please note this is not a quick fix. 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 walking and standing taller, improved balance, and slight to complete pain relief. This unfortunately may only last for a brief period of time. However, with continued therapy and training your posture will become more and more functional providing long lasting and permanent pain relief. Remember, it has taken you a lifetime to develop these specific muscular and mechanical compensations.
What’s the difference with what I’m doing now?
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 you the individual, with the tools necessary to take back and manage your healthcare on your own.
