“Pain is not a disease, not an injury, not even an effect of aging,” said Pete Egoscue, founder of The Egoscue Method of posture therapy. “Pain is a symptom—a symptom of postural imbalance.”

During the month of June, Egoscue University-Certified Postural Alignment Specialist Deb Freeman, of Aligned by Design, Inc., in Marlton, is offering complimentary 30-minute phone consultation to introduce potential clients to posture therapy

Posture therapy is a non-medical method designed to alleviate pain and prevent injury by addressing the entire body’s imbalances. Through gentle, individualized exercises and stretches, the underlying root cause of pain is corrected, instead of symptoms only being treated.

“An aligned human body is designed to heal itself,” Freeman explains. “It is only when the body deviates from the correct anatomical blueprint design, that dysfunctions appear. Ultimately, these misalignments in the musculoskeletal system lead to pain and injury.

“Many of the most common ailments are derived from postural misalignments that impede the body’s ability to sustain health and wellbeing,” she says. “Headaches, frozen shoulder, sciatica, herniated/bulging discs, tendinitis, carpel tunnel and varicose veins are just a few symptoms of musculoskeletal imbalances that can be treated using posture therapy.”

Aligned by Design, Inc. customizes services to each client’s individual needs, treats the body as a unit, and focuses on rediscovering the body’s design, restoring function, and returning the body to health.
