San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 20, 2004 -

? The Egoscue Method®, named after its founder, Pete Egoscue, a self-taught anatomical physiologist, almost 30 years ago, fused the best elements of existing exercise therapy programs and created his own approach to improving postural alignment. His theory is simple: when we are born, the body has the blueprint for perfect posture, but over the years bad habits, such as slouching at a desk, sitting in a car, and not being active, affect the way we stand and move.

Egoscue® helps clients regain a normal, functional posture through individualized stretching and strengthening exercises designed to treat musculoskeletal pain without drugs or surgery. Patients? symptoms do not dictate an instant formula for treatment, but instead provide a beginning frame of reference about each individual?s limitations and structural dysfunction.

Egoscue® helps people free themselves of acute and chronic physical pain associated with TMJ, carpal tunnel, scoliosis, neck, back, knee and shoulder pain as well as many other conditions.

The San Francisco Egoscue® Clinic ? located at 50 California, in the Embarcadero, is now open weekdays from 8am-6pm for patient evaluation and individualized therapy. A series of individualized exercises is prescribed to the patient for home practice. The client returns for a different series of exercises as their body changes and improves through strengthening and postural re-alignment. The number of sessions required depends on the severity of an individual?s structural dysfunction.

The San Francisco Egoscue® Clinic is proud do assist the citizens of Northern California relieve pain from their daily lives.

The Egoscue® staff is highly trained in this renowned method ? and ready to help. The staff also makes periodic visits to Sacramento and San Jose, to make it easier for clients in each of these areas.
