What is Egoscue Postural Therapy?
GOOD POSTURE
​
Good posture is essential for good health. Postural therapy uses highly effective exercises that stretch, strengthen, and relax the body, allowing it to return to proper alignment. It is an approach to body alignment that is based on fundamental anatomical, physiological and bio-mechanical principles.
THERAPEUTIC EXERCISES
Therapeutic exercises utilize the muscles of our body through a series of individually designed repositioning, strengthening, stretching or functional exercises to treat anatomical dysfunction. Each exercise makes specific demands on the body. The exercises are designed to facilitate normal muscle function and interaction. Muscles that are functioning properly provide the body with the ability to move correctly with efficiency.
