Postural Alignment Therapy
Rediscovering Your Body’s Natural Ease and Balance
Are You Constantly Fighting Your Body?
So many of us live in a state of constant battle with our own bodies—pulling on tight muscles and bracing against aches and pains. This is where we need to ask a different question: WHY does it feel like such hard work?
Back, Neck & Shoulder Pain
For persistant aches and stiffness often stemming from repetitive daily activities such as sitting at the desk causing imbalanced posture.
Persistently Tight Muscles
For when your hamstrings, hip flexors, or shoulders feel constantly tight, no matter how much you try to stretch them.
Postural Fatigue & Heaviness
For that feeling that holding yourself upright is exhausting, and you find yourself collapsing by the end of the day.
What is Postural Alignment Therapy?
This is a complete shift away from the old idea that your body is a stack of bricks that needs to be held rigidly in place. True postural alignment isn’t about forcing yourself into a “correct” position; it’s about re-educating your body to find its own natural, intelligent centre of support.
So often, tight muscles like our hamstrings or shoulders are simply overworked “Guy Ropes,” gripping on for dear life because the body feels unstable. They are compensating because the “central pole”—our deep fascial core—isn’t doing its job. Our therapy focuses on finding and engaging this deep central line of support. When your body feels supported from the inside, the overworked guy ropes get the message that they are safe to let go, and tension melts away effortlessly.
We move away from the rigid, biomechanical model and embrace the principles of **Biotensegrity**. We teach your body to remember that it is a floating, dynamic, and interconnected web, designed to be light and buoyant in gravity, not heavy and compressed.
What to Expect From Your Consultation
This is an active and empowering process where you become a detective in your own body, learning to listen to and work with its innate wisdom.
1. Finding the “Why”
We begin by assessing your posture and movement patterns to understand WHY your body is holding tension. We’ll look at the whole picture to identify the root of the imbalance.
2. A Guided Re-education
Through gentle hands-on cues and mindful movement exploration, we will guide your body back to its central line of support, teaching it how to work WHY gravity, not against it.
3. Awakening Your Deep Core
A key part of the process is learning to feel and activate your deep core—your structures. This teaches your body that it has a more efficient source of support, allowing tight, overworked muscles to relax and release.
4. An Empowering Self-Care Plan
You will leave with a clear understanding of your patterns and the specific, mindful movements and awareness cues you can use at home to continue building a more effortless and balanced posture.
