Postural Alignment Therapy
What is Postural Alignment Therapy?
Postural alignment therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on improving the alignment of the body, with the goal of reducing pain, improving function, and enhancing overall health and well-being.
Postural alignment therapy may involve a variety of techniques, including manual therapy (such as massage and joint mobilization), stretches, and exercises. The therapist will typically assess the individual's posture and identify any imbalances or misalignments, and then use the appropriate techniques to help correct these imbalances.

How can Postural Alignment Therapy help?
The foundation of human posture is shaped through our daily interaction with our environment. Many patterns develop in early childhood as the infant begins to explore the world, learning to crawl, stand and walk.
There is no one-size-fits-all. Your individual optimal posture will efficiently distribute body mass in a way that minimizes structural wear and tear.
In order to keep us going, our body’s innate intelligence develops compensatory mechanisms, which over time can lead to injury to the spine or joints.
Postural alignment therapy retrains your body to find and maintain optimal alignment, for efficient pain-free movement. Developing this awareness and training the nervous system to a new pattern will help any soft tissue mobilizations hold longer.
