Let's talk about the Thoracic Spine! Tune in and listen to Angi Campos of Egoscue of San Francisco and Greg Heinemann of Egoscue of Westchester
Let's chat about the thoracic back with Angi @egoscuesf and Greg @egoscue_westchester !
February is about love and the heart ❤️ right? What better month to discuss the thoracic spine. This "mid back" area anchors your rib cage which protects your heart! Made up of 12 vertebrae, your thoracic spine provides stability to your neck and lower back. It sits between your cervical spine and lumbar spine and aides in rotation, flexion, extension and lateral flexion (side bending).
It is also one of the very common areas of MIS-alignments that we see.
Because we are often sitting, looking down at a cell phone, or slouching forward at a desk...the upper back can become very rounded. This can cause headaches, difficulty breathing, vertigo, lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain...and so many other pains. If left unaddressed, other areas must continue to compensate for it, creating further pain and dysfunction in your body.
More to come on this important region of the spine. We LOVE to share and educate! Stay tuned for an IG Live this month about this very topic!
01/13/2022
It's a new year, whats on your agenda? Does your resolution list include learning something new and exciting? Perhaps you're looking to change up your career...
Did you know we have an Egoscue Institute? You can become a certified Posture Alignment Specialist and help others (and yourself) get out of pain amd move better. Send us a DM or email [email protected]

How heavy is your head? Depending on the degree of the angle, our head can weigh anywhere form 10 pounds to 60 POUNDS. This is a large amount of pressure to put on the cervical spine when it already has an important job of holding the head vertically. The farther your head is out in front of the body, the more pressure there is on the spinal cord and surrounding structures; think upper back and shoulders.
01/03/2022
Anytime is a good time to eliminate pain and move better every day...but since it's a fresh year, why bit give yourself a fresh start now?
Call or DM to schedule your 1st appointment!
Happy Holidays from all of us at The Egoscue Method! Share the Gift of Movement with your loved ones this season and into the New Year!

Load Bearing Joints Series: it's all connected...
We look at your WHOLE body in every appointment with you snd study your alignment from front to back, left to right. In continuing to break down an Egoscue posture assessment, FEET & ANKLES are up for discussion today!
Things we look for:
-dorsiflexion and plantar flexion, ie pointing or flexing the feet. If you tend to bend your knees often when standing, your ankles are in more of a dorsiflexed position, even more so if you tend to lean forward
-inverted feet: ie pigeon toed
-everted feet: ie feet turn out like a duck
-pronation: feet that roll inward upon standing or landing when walking. Often coupled with ankles collapsing inward
-supination: feet that roll to the outer edges when bearing weight standing or when walking
All of the above affect your movement and the way your body compensates to make up for these misalignments.
Other considerations: incorrect foot or/and ankle position can be the cause of hip pain, knee pain, foot pain, etc. Because the body has to compensate to move, other bones and muscles are recruited to complete the work which can often lead to dysfunction and pain in the long run.
Do you have any of these? Look in the mirror!
Is it time to address your body because of pain, posture, or performance? Schedule an appointment with a therapist to get your full posture assessment and custom Egoscue menu by calling or DM us today!

The Egoscue Method was born in 1971 through my own search for answers to my chronic musculoskeletal pain.
My story is familiar to anyone who has suffered without relief, and the solutions I discovered have helped thousands of people to live pain free and get back to doing what they love!
I am honored to have been part of your journey.
All of us at Egoscue deeply appreciate your commitment to The Method. I could not have imagined fifty years ago, that my one man show would grow to include 31 clinics and thousands of certified postural alignment specialists around the world.
We are grateful each and every time we are able to empower someone to feel better, move better and live better.
Keep your eyes open for more 50th anniversary festivities throughout our clinics and online. We hope you'll celebrate with us.

Load Bearing Joints Series: it's all connected...
In every appointment you do with us, we look at your WHOLE body and your alignment front to back, left to right. In breaking down an Egoscue posture assessment, KNEES are up for discussion today!
Things we look for:
-varus stress or bow legged
-valgus stress or knock knees
-1 or both kneecaps that turn inward or outward. This means your femur bone on the internal or externally rotated kneecap, is not sitting properly in its hip socket.
All of the above affect your movement and the way your body compensates to make up for these misalignments.
Other considerations: incorrect knee position can be the cause hip pain, ankle pain, foot pain, etc. Because the body has to compensate to move, other bones and muscles are recruited to complete the work. Over time this can lead to dysfunction, pain, and injury.

It really is about the basics. Proper alignment is the center of our health and well being. If you're misaligned, you can't function at your best. Align your body 1st and then take care of all the other important factors.... Fitness, nutrition, mental health, sleep, etc.

Load Bearing Joints Series: it's all connected...
In every appointment you do with us, we look at your WHOLE body and your alignment front to back, left to right. In breaking down an Egoscue posture assessment, HIPS are a big piece of that puzzle.
Things we look for
-elevation: one hip higher than the other
-rotation: one hip coming more forward than the other
-Pelvic disparity right to left: one side of the pelvis tilts more anterior or posterior than the other. Or one of each.
-Overly anterior or posterior pelvic tilt
Do you have any of these? Look in the mirror!
Can you imagine how any one of these can hinder you every day? Hips and opposite shoulders have a direct relationship so consider that for a moment.
Is it time to address your hips and/or the rest of your body because of pain, dysfunction, or poor posture? Schedule an appointment with a therapist to get your full posture assessment and custom Egoscue menu by calling or DM us today!

In every appointment you do with us,, we look at your WHOLE body and your alignment front to back, left to right. In breaking down an Egoscue posture assessment, shoulders are a piece of that puzzle.
Things we look for
-elevation: one shoulder higher than the other
-rotation: one shoulder coming more forward than the other
-protraction: shoulders rounding forward and/or shoulder blades "winging" off the back
-scapular disparity: uneven shoulder blades
Do you have any of these? Look in the mirror!
Can you imagine how any of these can hinder you ever day? Shoulders and opposite hips have a direct relationship so consider that for a moment.
Shoulder pain? If your shoulders are uneven, shoulders cannot FUNCTION equally, therefore one has to do alot more work than the other, resulting in?? You guessed it, more wear in a misaligned state = pain, injury, inability to use it.
If you play a rotational sport like baseball, golf, any raquet or stick sport that is 1 hand dominant...you probably have rotation in your shoulders that in turn affects your hip(s)
Remember this is just a small piece of the puzzle even if all your pain exists only in your shoulders.
We will continue to break down the other load bearing joints in coming days...stay tuned!

We asked you last week if you knew what major load bearing joints we look at when assessing your posture.
Here you are! BUT, while these joints are very important players, we also look at head position, foot position, spinal curvature (or lack thereof), pelvic tilt etc. We will break down each of these joints in flowing posts. Stay tuned!
Wondering about smaller joints like wrists? Elbows? These are all a part of your postural makeup too and are all connected to the main players!
Alice came to us from a Tony Robbins event and was very excited to feel some immediate changes in her body with her therapist Karly!

The Egoscue Method addresses your physical misalignments that are causing your pain. We look at the WHOLE body, not just your symptom area. Can you list (aside from the spine) the major load bearing joints that Egoscue looks at posturally and what we look for in each? Stay tuned for answers in the following days as we look at each major joint!

Your kids are back to school!! With backpacks that big and sitting alot during the day, you can imagine (or you've already heard) gripes about headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain. We work with kids and teens of all ages and get them feeling great through alignment exercises that we ensure are fun, brief, and doable. We've got your whole family! Start fresh this year and stay focused all year.
The Egoscue Method is the result of one person’s extensive search for an answer to debilitating chronic pain
The Egoscue Method was created by Pete Egoscue through his efforts to find solutions for his own chronic pain. His story is familiar to anyone who has suffered without being able to find relief, and the solutions he discovered on his journey can help you be pain-free for life and live the life you want!
More than four decades ago, Pete Egoscue returned from Vietnam with a Purple Heart and ongoing nerve pain due to wounds suffered in battle. Like many of us, Pete was conditioned to rely on medical experts, but they focused on his symptoms and were unable to help him. So Pete began his search for a way to live pain-free, finding the true cause of his symptoms—his posture and balance.
