Would you like to fix:

  • Slumped Shoulders: Shoulders rounded forward rather than aligned with the ears.

  • Protruding Abdomen: The belly sticks out due to weak core muscles.

  • Flat Back: The natural curve of the lower spine is reduced.

  • Forward Tilt of Pelvis: The pelvis tilts forward, causing an exaggerated lower back curve.

  • Uneven Shoulder Height: One shoulder higher than the other, indicating asymmetry in posture.

My journey:

Over the years, I tried different things to fix my posture. Nothing really worked until I learned about the Egoscue Method in April 2022.

I have seen results after the first session and now it is part of my morning or evening routine. The secret why the method worked for me lies in the fact that the exercises take as little as 10 minutes a day and are effective. This makes it easy to be consistent.

What`s Egoscue?

The Egoscue Method is a form of posture therapy. It focuses on correcting postural imbalances and musculoskeletal dysfunctions through a series of exercises. It has gained popularity among various athletes and celebrities like Tony Robbins, Jack Nicklaus or John Lynch.

4 Reasons why You can Benefit:

  1. Great Posture (obviously..): We spend a lot of our time these days working at a computer or scrolling through our phones. The result is not only poor posture but tension and even pain in our neck, shoulders or back. The method helps realign the body.

  2. Effective Pain Relief: Unlike treatments that focus solely on the area of pain, the Egoscue Method looks at the body as a whole. It aims to identify and correct the underlying postural imbalances that are often the root cause of pain, leading to more sustainable and long-term relief.

    Also, heck out The Stanford Study. A completed Pilot Study showed that patients who underwent the Egoscue Method experienced a significant reduction in spine pain.

  3. Peak Physical Health: By targeting specific muscle groups, the Egoscue Method enhances overall strength, mobility as well as training performance, benefits recovery times and reduces risk of injuries. 

  4. Beauty Benefits: Proper posture and alignment can significantly enhance blood flow and lymphatic drainage. Improved circulation helps reduce the accumulation of fluids and toxins in tissues, which is a major factor contributing to improved skin health (i.e. clear, glowy skin) and a more toned physique.

7 Reasons why I love Egoscue:

  1. Significantly improved my posture.

  2. My lower back pain is gone.

  3. I am able to do all scheduled sessions from the comfort of my home via zoom.

  4. Exercises take as little as 10 min a day; I can do them in my everyday clothes, literally everywhere.

  5. Individualized assessment: With every session the therapist does before and after pictures measuring the position of my joints, assesses my weight distribution and movement. I am always amazed seeing these pictures and the difference in my posture.

  6. The exercise routine is personalized and tailored to my needs.

  7. Every session comes with comprehensive support and adjustments to ensure my exercises are performed correctly and effectively.
