Heal Your Pain

Postural alignment uses specific posture-focused exercises to strengthen muscles, and stretch out supporting connective tissue, which in turn helps to re-align the body to be more symmetrical and therefore function better. 

Caroline Clarke lives in Tavistock with her husband Richard, and was previously a competitive horse rider. She trained as a postural alignment specialist after discovering The Egoscue Method when her husband was suffering from debilitating knee and hip pain. “When a body is straightened, re-positioned into its correct ‘neutral’ state it can function effectively and therefore eliminate many physical pains – such as back ache, hip pain, neck ache etc,” says Caroline. “The exercises are not designed to build up big muscle groups like traditional exercise, but work on the smaller often forgotten muscles that help to keep our skeletons aligned. It is common for even really fit people to neglect these smaller areas which if unworked do not help support our frame and in turn cause unbalance, injury and pain.”

Caroline’s aptly named company ‘Heal your Pain’ offers one-to-one assessments, group classes, online videos and she has also written a new book helping people of all ages and levels of fitness to straighten up and free themselves of pain. The book sets out key exercises that work on the most common pain areas such as the neck, shoulders, elbows, back, hips, knees, ankles. Simply select your area of pain and then flip to the corresponding chapter for the best exercises to help re-align and strengthen that particular area. Doing the exercises regularly will keep you out of pain.

The book retails for £15.00 +P&P for the UK.
