Egoscue Postural Assessment
The initial session begins with a 90 minute postural assessment and treatment plan.
For example, our weight distribution isn’t 50–50 left to right and we’re not “vertically loaded,” meaning our head isn’t sitting squarely over our shoulders and our hips all the way down through the knee and ankle joints.
This leads to weight not being evenly distributed on our feet and our feet not pointing straight ahead. Therefor we gather the data from your assessment to begin unpacking your body's systems.
The body is intricately connected, so all of its systems and subsystems are interrelated and interdependent. When one part of the body is not working as it should, there can be a domino effect in which other areas of the body are thrown off.
Some common postural integrity issues today include a change in the curve of the back and a forward tilt of the hips, which can result in neck, shoulder, back, knee and/or foot pain.
