Pain commonly has TWO parts:
1) Your body has adapted to your lifestyle or injuries with a set of compensations. These compensations can be seen in the hip that you may push out to the side to carry your child on, or in the foot that turns out to the side more than the other, or in the shoulder that is pulled up toward your ear from talking on the telephone... or even the way your head is positioned way out in front of you as you read this from your computer (You just changed your posture didn't you).
This movement imbalance causes an unequal amount of sheer and stress to your tissues and joints. Over time this causes inflammation and injury to tissue. It is not until this injury builds up to a point of PAIN that you become aware of what has been happening.
Your specific set of movement problems are what we can identify and give you the tools to make drastic changes in a relativly short amount of time. These changes to body's stimulus, positioning, along with training in self treatment, can allow your body to stop the cause that is at the root of your pain.
2) Tissue INFLAMMATION and INJURY - This is the commonly the site of your pain and what is most commonly addressed by doctors/practitioners. Although your pain is commonly caused by the movement imbalance described briefly above, the injured tissue should be treated to aid in the healing process and speed up the results of your therapy program. We are very happy with the consistant results that come with our extensive set of treatment options.

Can Posture Therapy help my arthritis?
Yes, arthritis is an extremely common condition affecting the cartilage in between two bones. This cartilage provides shock-absorbing properties in order to distribute the weight of gravity in our bodies. In arthritic conditions the fluid within the cartilage tends to dry out. When this happened the friction between the joints increases.

There is no direct blood supply to cartilage, the only way cartilage maintains its fluid contents is through MOTION. Cartilage needs movement in order to have fluid pumped into it. When a joint becomes stiff or arthritic, the lack of movement in that joint worsens the condition because now there is no fluid being mechanically pumped into the cartilage. Posture Therapy, (a series of gentle stretches and exercises) in order to restore normal range of motion and increase the fluid that the joint can receive. Combine this with proper nutrition and we can achieve outstanding results.
