Feel taller. Feel better. Yes, you can!

Esther Gokhale taught Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his family the Gokhale Method several years ago. His daughter felt relief in minutes.

It wasn’t a miracle—it was a tiny measure of gentle traction that allowed her spine to decompress.

Archbishop Tutu wrote a letter of thanks to Esther:

Dear Ms Gokhale,

We can never hope to express our deep appreciation to you adequately.
You were amazingly generous and you were everything that Doug had promised and more.

Our daughter experienced such immediate relief that, as you saw, she broke down with tears of joy and relief.

May God continue to bless your healing hands so that you may make more people get slightly taller as they also experience relief from what had seemed chronic pain. - Desmond Tutu

✨ Pain doesn’t discriminate. Fortunately, healing can be surprisingly simple and immediate.

The activities we love don’t have to be a distant memory; they can be part of our lives again, once we understand how to move in harmony with our structure—even if you’ve had a severe injury.

Esther will be giving several participants live mini-consultations during our Yes You Can! Get Out of Pain—And Stay That Way free workshop on January 10.

Would you like to get specific insights into what’s causing your pain? Things you probably haven’t heard before?

Don’t accept pain as your lot. The vast majority of pain is reversible, and you don’t need surgery to fix it.

“I'm a physician who specializes in pain management. I think the Gokhale Method is phenomenal. It's really changed my approach to how I take care of my patients.” Haleh Agdassi, M.D.

“The patients I have referred to Esther have, without exception, found her work to be life changing.” Salwan AbiEzzi, M.D.

“Every year, tens of thousands of patients undergo major back surgery without any benefits. By using Gokhale’s novel techniques, many of these patients can avoid such needless and expensive medical procedures, and quickly return to a pain free life.” John Adler, M.D.

Rob shattered a vertebra. Doctors warned him that back pain would be his new normal. After a serious spinal injury, Rob Buirgy was told to expect back pain for the rest of his life.

After hearing about the Gokhale Method, he didn’t accept that.

By making small, precise changes to how he sat, stood, and moved, Rob resolved his pain. He recently rowed for six hours a day on a four-day adventure.

He says:
Three years ago, I had little optimism about future activities. Today, I’m planning my next outing and resuming the active life that I love!

If you’ve accepted that your back pain is irresolvable — even after a serious injury — the Gokhale Method may be your missing piece.

In our free live workshop on January 10, Esther will choose several people for live mini-consultations and explain exactly what’s causing their pain and how to stop it.

“As soon as I stopped doing what was causing [my pain], it went away. I'm so grateful to have a way to now move and work that does not give me that kind of pain.” Rachel Jones, CA

“Now if something begins to bother me, I do the spinal stretches in bed and on a chair and before I know it, nothing hurts again.”

“When I feel a little headache coming on, I just adjust my head position the way Doreen taught me, and it's gone. It’s just totally unbelievable.” Jeri Parrott, WI

Why the Gokhale Method is different:
Most back pain treatments are temporary fixes, time-consuming exercises, or simply masking symptoms.

The Gokhale Method teaches you how to fix the root cause of pain — once and for life — in the movements you already do every day.

We’ll show you how in our free, one-time-only online workshop:

YES YOU CAN! Get Out of Pain — And Stay That Way
🗓 Tomorrow — Saturday, Jan 10, 2026
🕚 11am Pacific
🌐 Free • Live on Zoom (replay available)

Your body isn’t broken. You just need access to the user manual.

Looking up shouldn’t mean crunching your neck.

Most of us are in the habit of squishing our cervical spine when we look up, bend, laugh, or even express surprise. When the head drifts forward and the chin lifts up, we end up with a scrunched neck. Over time, this compression adds strain, stiffness, and pain.

In this photo, Esther shows her neck remains free and lengthened without compression This is what it looks like to preserve cervical integrity. Allowing the neck to lengthen rather than collapse, even in expressive movements.

👉 Try it now: look up while allowing your neck to lengthen and stay free of compression. Let us know what you feel in the comments below.

Meet Rob Buirgy, an inspiration of how healthy posture can support healing, resilience, and a return to the activities you love.

After sustaining a serious multiple-fragment compression fracture of his T12 vertebra, Rob was placed in a body brace for months and told recovery would be slow. Having followed the Gokhale Method® for about two years already, Rob trusted his instincts and took an online consultation and completed our online Gokhale Elements Course.

Just months later, he was back on the river, rowing for hours, and today he’s enjoying what he loves most: rafting, hiking, and life outdoors.

Here's a lovely photo he shared on his success story:

📸 “Me preparing for rowing on the raft—with ‘Sister,’ my extra crew member!” 🐾

Rob’s story shows that healthy posture can support healing and help you return to an active life.
