the work if you know how to line up the parts; then food and rest is all that is required. A. T. Still Osteopathy Research and Practice |

POSTURE ALIGNMENT
The Egoscue Method was developed by Pete Egoscue, the author of Pain Free - A Revolutionary Method For Stopping Chronic Pain. It is a system of detailed postural evaluation and analysis that enables the therapist to prescribe therapeutic exercises, or e-cises. A program is developed from over 500 e-cises to suit each patient’s needs and postural issues. These exercises consist of stretching, strengthening, and positional release.
Egoscue teaches the body new movement patterns that realigns bones, balances shortened and/or lengthened muscles, feeds back a different neural pattern to the brain, and promotes flexibility resulting in a decrease in chronic pain. The Egoscue system empowers each individual to self correct and develop lifelong independence.
Example: Many neural impingement syndromes result from misalignment of joints. Bones are designed to optimally bear weight in a given position-allowing gravity to be transmitted through the body or the thickest portion of the bone. When spinal curvatures flatten (there is a loss of the normal curve), the vertebral column is positionally compromised and no longer bears weight efficiently. Consequently other soft tissues begin to bear a load they are not designed to carry. When the body must compensate over time, some muscles lengthen, some contract and spasm. This may result in chronic pain and nerve impingement. Your individually designed Egoscue program is performed daily to address these issues.
