Virtual posture therapy · Wherever you are
The same program, run over video
Posture work translates cleanly to a camera, because what your therapist needs to do is watch how you stand and move. Same assessment, same corrective sequence, same therapist every week — from wherever you are.

Why this works
Nothing important gets lost over a camera
Plenty of manual therapy genuinely needs hands. Ours does not. What your therapist is doing is reading alignment — where your head sits relative to your shoulders, whether your hips are level, how your feet are pointed, and what happens to all of that once you move. That is a visual assessment, and a camera placed a few feet back often gives a cleaner view of it than standing beside you does.
We are watching how you move rather than putting hands on you. That is why the video version is not a compromise.
The corrective work is yours to do either way. In a clinic room you would be doing the same positions on the same floor, with the same therapist watching and adjusting them. The room is the only thing that changes.
The path
How it runs, start to finish
Free consultation and assessment
Thirty minutes with a therapist at no cost. You get a posture assessment and an honest read on whether this is likely to help you. Pick a time.
The IMPACT program
A structured block of 8 or 16 sessions delivered by video. Each one re-measures your alignment and updates the sequence you do at home. See how it is built.
THRIVE, if you want to keep going
Ongoing sessions at whatever spacing suits you once the structured block is done. Most people move to this when they want to hold on to what they have built.
What you need
Less than people expect
Somewhere to stand
Enough clear floor to stand a few feet back from the camera and to lie down. The end of a living room or a hallway is plenty.
A device with a camera
A laptop, tablet or phone all work. A laptop propped up around hip height tends to give the therapist the best view. Sessions run on Zoom, so anything that can open a Zoom link will do.
A steady connection
Ordinary home broadband is fine. If the picture drops for a moment we work around it — nothing is lost.
Being straight with you
Where this is the better option
A good fit if
- You live outside Boston, Newport or Los Angeles
- You travel often and a fixed clinic time is hard to keep
- You would rather do the work in the room where you actually live
- You want the same therapist every session without the commute
Probably not a fit if
- You specifically want hands-on treatment — that is a different kind of care, and a fair thing to want
- You have nowhere at home with enough clear floor to stand back and lie down
- You want symptomatic relief only, rather than addressing what is causing the symptoms
What change looks like
Clients who did this over video
Photographed from the same camera position, some weeks or months apart and some within a single visit. How quickly alignment shifts varies a great deal from person to person. Nothing here is a promise about your body.

Common questions
Questions about working this way
Is virtual really as effective as coming in?
For posture work, yes. The assessment is visual and the corrective exercises are yours to perform either way, so the therapist is doing the same job on camera as in the room. Clients across the country and overseas work with us like this as a matter of course.
What if my internet drops mid-session?
It happens and it is not a problem. Reconnect and we pick up where we stopped; if the connection will not hold, your therapist reschedules the remainder at no cost.
Do I need any equipment?
No. Sessions run on Zoom and the link arrives with your confirmation, so there is nothing to buy or install. If your sequence ever calls for a prop, it will be something you already own — a towel, a block, a chair, a wall.
Can I switch between virtual and in-clinic?
Yes, if you are near Boston or Newport. Plenty of people do a mix. Your program and your therapist stay the same either way.
What time zone are appointments in?
Times shown in the scheduler are in your own time zone. Pick whatever slot suits you and it will land correctly.
