If you are recovering from surgery or have been sedentary you can still start a journey to move and restore imbalances by using Postural Alignment techniques to improve your health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I found the benefits in Postural Alignment Therapy in my own journey dealing with chronic pain when all other therapies and avenues of healing proved to be ineffective.  I worked with a body worker  and then a specialist which was instrumental to bring new awareness to how I moved. I was given a set of gentle supported exercises that I could do daily on my own and slowly over time I started to heal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Postural Therapy focuses on the body as a whole to treat the underlying cause of pain.&nbsp; Postural Alignment Therapy is a set of exercises that are aimed at specific conditions that present themselves in the body.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is in taking a look at our postures and looking at imbalances that we can strengthen and realign ourselves as to how we stand, sit and walk for example so that  we can heal.&nbsp; Most likely these imbalances are the result of a slow deterioration of your posture from a specific condition over long period of time. Chronic Pain can be attributed to posture and how we hold ourselves as we move throughout our life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many therapies address the specific area of pain and do not explore the root of the problem. &nbsp;Postural Therapy along with yoga is a proven method to find long-term relief to correct the source of pain- your postural alignment. In using Postural Therapy and yoga you will be able to continue to strengthen your awareness to bring that to your life for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This area of study has been with my own studies in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.egoscue.com\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.egoscue.com\/\">Egoscue<\/a> method.  I have studied and practiced the postures and how they have effected my physical nature using my personal experience with yoga as research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/eatbreathedoyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/MG_6780-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eatbreathedoyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/MG_6780-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eatbreathedoyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/MG_6780-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eatbreathedoyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/MG_6780-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Dhanurasana<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting a Yoga practice can seem daunting especially for those experiencing pain in the body and even more so if that pain becomes a chronic condition.
