The Case of the Aching Back: Why the Usual Suspect May Be Innocent

Most people assume back pain means something is “wrong” with the spine—but what if your back is just the victim, not the culprit? Melissa’s story will sound familiar: scans showed nothing conclusive, injections gave only temporary relief, and yet the pain kept creeping back into her daily life. The real mystery? Her back wasn’t broken—it was simply overworked.

Back pain isn’t always what it seems. Hidden imbalances in the hips, glutes, shoulders, and even ankles often force the spine to take on more than its fair share, creating a cycle of strain and discomfort. The good news is, you can break that cycle. With simple, posture-based strategies that restore balance and reduce stress, you can finally close the case on back pain and move with confidence again.

Out of Alignment: The Hidden Cause of Knee Pain—and How to Fix It

Think your knee pain is just about your knees? Often, it’s not the joint itself that’s the problem—it’s how your body is compensating for misalignments elsewhere.

This month’s article explores the common causes of knee pain and how everyday imbalances—from your hips to your feet—can quietly overload your knees and lead to chronic discomfort. You’ll learn how small, strategic changes to posture and movement can relieve stress on your joints and help you move with greater ease.

It’s not about pushing through pain—it’s about working with your body, gently and wisely, to help it do what it’s designed to do: move with strength, balance, and resilience.

If you’re dealing with knee pain, you’re not alone. Whether it’s a dull ache during everyday tasks or sharp pain during activity, knee discomfort is one of the most common complaints across all ages and activity levels. While it’s easy to assume the issue lies in the knee itself, the pain is...

The Pain-Posture-Stress Connection: How Posture Awareness Can Transform Your Well-Being

May is Posture Awareness Month, a perfect time to explore the profound link between posture, stress, and pain. At Egoscue, we believe that true healing begins with understanding how your body moves, feels, and responds to life.

One of the most overlooked yet critical relationships is how chronic stress affects your posture and how poor posture can, in turn, amplify stress and pain. By becoming more aware of your body’s alignment, you can break the pain-stress cycle and restore balance, function, and ease to your life.

The Foot: A Masterpiece of Engineering and Motion

Leonardo Da Vinci once described the foot as “… a work of art and a masterpiece of engineering.” This sentiment holds true today. Yet despite our best efforts to care for our feet—buying special shoes, using inserts, and indulging in massages—foot and ankle pain is more prevalent than ever. Why is that?

As Pete Egoscue explains in his book Pain Free, “Any pattern of foot strike that deviates from heel-ball-toe is a symptom of dysfunction in the load-bearing joints. The structures of the foot are not designed to handle alternatives."

In this article, we’ll discuss how to address foot and ankle pain effectively including how a simple posture shift can reduce pain. https://egoscue.com/the-foot-a-masterpiece-of-engineering-and-motion/

Finding Pelvic Balance: How an Aligned Pelvis Can Be the Key to Pain-Free Mobility
We generally don’t hear much about the pelvis. Why is that? My guess would be that’s because its function isn’t as eye-catching as some of our other more mobile joints. Nonetheless, it plays an essential role in both our mobility and our stability.
The pelvis and hips are our center of balance; so, logically, if they are not centered, what will be the consequence? Compensation and pain.
In this article, we’ll discuss how a balanced pelvis can be the starting point to becoming pain-free.
