HOW DOES POSTURAL THERAPY WORK?

Postural Alignment Therapy focuses on your body as a whole and treating the underlying cause of your pain and injuries. Many types of chronic pain and injuries are caused by the slow deterioration of your posture and the only way to get complete, long-lasting pain relief is by correcting your postural imbalances through exercise therapy. Surgery, manipulation, injections, braces, exercises, and stretches designed to target your symptoms are only going to offer, at best, short term relief because they are doing nothing about correcting the cause of your pain – your postural alignment. 

USING POSTURE EXERCISES

At Total Control, we specialize at looking at and treating your entire body, not just your symptom. Gary, as a certified Postural Alignment Specialist and Corrective Exercise Specialist, knows that your body’s alignment, just like your car’s alignment, is designed to be symmetrical left to right and balanced. When your body gets out of postural alignment because of your work, lifestyle, activities, and accidents, many systems in your body become compromised (musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiorespiratory, digestive) and symptoms (joint pain, nerve impingement, breathing issues, circulatory problems) will start to appear. Most treatments for these pain symptoms only focus on eliminating the symptom, not fixing the root cause of the problem. Postural Alignment Therapy gives you the tools (specific posture exercises and stretches) to start correcting your posture and eliminating your pain for good.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN DURING MY APPOINTMENT?

During your free initial consultation, we will go over medical history, injuries, past programs, and specific goals. We will also do a posture evaluation and a basic movement screening. From here, I can put together a program specifically for your needs.
