Postural Therapy is a whole-body approach to relieving chronic pain. Pain is your body’s way of signaling that there’s an issue with joint alignment or muscle-length tension. While it’s common to mask pain with medication or other modalities, the key to lasting relief lies in identifying and addressing the root cause. Often, pain in one area (such as the knee) is caused by that joint compensating for an issue elsewhere. Postural Therapy analyzes your posture in relation to its optimal blueprint to pinpoint these imbalances.
This method uses simple exercises, easy-to-perform movements, and static positions to restore proper alignment and relieve muscle and joint pain. When posture becomes misaligned, joints wear unevenly, leading to degeneration, pinched nerves, inflammation, and pain—much like a car with poor tire alignment. Unless your joints are realigned from head to toe, chronic pain is likely to persist.
Postural Therapy succeeds where other methods may fail because it addresses your unique postural and functional imbalances. By providing targeted corrective exercises, it restores balance, allowing your body to heal itself naturally. During your assessment, your full-body posture will be evaluated—from the alignment of your feet and knees to the tilt of your head—to determine where the joints have become misaligned.
