Posture therapy · Boston · Newport · Los Angeles · Online
The pain is where you feel it. It usually isn’t where it starts.
Posture isn’t how you sit for a photo — it’s the alignment your body defaults to all day. When that alignment drifts, something eventually starts to hurt. We find what’s out of position, and retrain it.

What brought you here?
Whichever one it is, we start in the same place — with how your body is aligned, and what the rest of you is doing to compensate.
Pain that keeps coming back
Back, neck, hip, knee. You’ve stretched it, rested it, maybe had it scanned — and it comes back. When that happens, the part that hurts is usually compensating for something else.
Posture you can’t hold
You straighten up, and twenty minutes later you’re back where you started. That’s not discipline failing. Your muscles are holding the position they’ve been trained to hold.
Movement that’s narrowing
Stairs, turning to reverse the car, the golf swing that’s lost its range. Stiffness feels like age. More often it’s alignment — and alignment responds.
First, what posture actually is
Posture isn’t a position you hold. It’s how you’re built to move.
Most of us picture posture as sitting up straight — something you either do or forget to do. That’s a snapshot, and it’s the least useful part of the picture.
Your posture is dynamic. It’s the set of relationships between your joints as you stand, walk, reach and sleep, and your body will defend those relationships whether or not they’re the ones you were designed with. Sit with one hip higher for a few years and your body doesn’t object — it adapts, quietly, everywhere else.
Nothing in the body works alone. A hip that’s out of position can surface as a sore shoulder — which is why treating the shoulder doesn’t hold.
It’s also why posture work reaches further than people expect. The same alignment that decides whether your back hurts decides how steady you are on stairs, how freely you breathe, how much range you have in a swing. Musculoskeletal health, pain and performance are one system. Posture is how you get at it.
What we do about it
We work on the alignment, not the sore spot
We analyze how you’re built and how you move, find where you’re out of position, then give you a specific sequence of positions and exercises that put you back.
You do that sequence at home between sessions. That’s not a shortcut on our side — it’s where the change actually happens. Your body learns alignment by repeating it, not by being adjusted once a week.
So this isn’t something you receive. It’s something you do, guided by someone who knows what to watch for and adjusts the sequence as your body changes.
What happens next
Three steps, no mystery
01 A conversation and an assessment
One free session, thirty minutes. You describe what’s going on, and we analyze how you’re actually standing and moving. You’ll see exactly what we see — and it usually explains a lot.
02 Your own sequence
A program built around your alignment rather than a general routine, adjusted as your body changes. A block of eight sessions is typical, usually one a week at the start.
03 Holding on to it
Once you’re aligned, the work changes — less correcting, more maintaining. Some people keep a session in the calendar; others take it from there themselves.
Who you’ll work with
Friendly experts — and you keep the same one throughout
Reading how your body changes over weeks is most of the skill. That only works if the person watching is the same person each time.
Where we work

Pain & Conditions
Sciatica, frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis and the rest — what’s structurally driving them.
Posture Dictionary
Thirty-two plain definitions, for when a clinician used a word nobody explained.
Self-guided courses
Four-week video programs for a single pattern. Rib flare and duck feet, at your own pace.
What would you go back to, if it stopped hurting?
That’s the question we start with. The consultation is free, it takes thirty minutes, and nobody will push you into anything — you’ll simply understand your own posture better than you do now.
