Let’s discuss with Dr. Pratya Jaratjitwilai, a certified Postural Alignment Specialist.

The Egoscue Method is a postural therapy program that focuses on a series of gentle stretches and exercises designed to relieve musculoskeletal pain without the use of drugs, surgery or manipulation.

Understanding the Egoscue Method

Developed by Pete Egoscue in the 1970s, this method is based on the principle that both chronic and acute pain result from misalignment of the body which occurs when it loses its natural posture. The human body is designed for movement, but modern sedentary lifestyles often lead to musculoskeletal dysfunctions and compensations, causing pain and injury.

Egoscue exercises are designed to restore skeletal alignment, allowing the body to function optimally. These exercises are performed in a specific sequence for a set duration, often incorporating props such as blocks, towels, and balls.
