What is Posture Therapy, and how does it work?
Posture Therapy as taught by the Egoscue Institute® is designed to eliminate chronic pain without drugs or surgery. Founded by Pete Egoscue, this method begins with a thorough postural evaluation, including taking standardized alignment photos that are analyzed using specialized software to identify postural deviations and movement imbalances.
Based on these findings, Posture Therapy focuses on a personalized series of gentle stretches and exercises designed to correct misalignments within the musculoskeletal system. The core belief is that pain—whether acute or chronic—is often the result of poor alignment as the body drifts away from optimal posture. By retraining the body to work with gravity and restore proper alignment, function improves, comfort increases, and pain decreases naturally.
