Brian Bradley, Vice President of Therapy Protoco, at the world renowned Egoscue Method

Three Spinal Curves and You Walk…Without Them, You Don’t
How’s your back?  Not good?  Why not find out why it remains chronic and eventually could put you out of business?  The balancing act of standing upright on two feet isn’t easy.  It is a major feat of engineering.  Balance is everything.  To achieve it, the body’s major posture joints, or load joints—the ankles, knees, hips, and shoulders—are stacked one atop the other.  There are eight of them in pairs of four on each side of the body.  Gravity presses down, and there is a vertical load-bearing.  Furthermore, to balance the load between two feet, the load joints are in horizontal parallel alignment from left to right.
You MUST achieve this balance…especially after working from the same side of the chair all day.
