1:1 Therapy

HOW IT WORKS

One-on-one posture therapy is the gold standard at Egoscue. Your dedicated therapist will be by your side throughout every step of your journey.

You’ll build a personal connection with your coach and tailor fit your Egoscue program to your wants and needs.

 

In-Person

1:1 Posture Therapy is available in-person at all our clinic locations. Our clinics offer a positive, supportive environment where you can focus on healing and connect with a community that shares your values and priorities.

What you need

The beauty of in-person therapy is that we can take care of most of the details for you.  You’ll need the ability to visit one of our locations.  We ask that you dress in comfortable clothing that does not restrict your movement and allows us to take pictures with your kneecaps and shoulders visible.  Some of our exercises are done barefoot and some require shoes so please also bring a pair of workout/tennis shoes.

Virtual

Virtual posture therapy pairs the expertise and connection of 1:1 therapy with the convenience of being accessible from your home or office.  Conducted via video conferencing, virtual sessions offer our premium Egoscue experience from the comfort of your space. 

What you need

You will need a webcam and an active internet connection.  We ask that you dress in comfortable clothing that does not restrict your movement and allows us to take pictures with your kneecaps and shoulders visible.  Some of our exercises are done barefoot and some require shoes so please have a pair of workout/tennis shoes available.  

You also will need an area when you can lie down on the floor and extend your arms out to the side and over your head.  You may also need a wall that you can stand against.

Some of our exercises require basic equipment.  We sell Egoscue products but if you don’t have our equipment, you can use the following common household items as substitutes: a table chair, a belt or yoga strap, or a full-size towel.

Egoscue has given me the gift of health. By following the exercise program designed for my posture I'm doing activities I never thought were possible.

Egoscue saved me from major surgery and restored so much hope, peace, and balance in my life. I am without pain and I am forever grateful and will forever be a client. The team at the Fort Washington office are like family!

ANGELA D

For me this method is perfect! It works 100%, you just need to do your exercises regularly. The improvements are felt even after the first session! And the results are lasting.

STIMPER

The only regret I have is not being introduced to this Method much earlier in life.

JENN D

The team at Egoscue is incredible! I always leave feeling so much better. I would recommend them to anyone who is in pain.

JULIE S

Going to Egoscue has been such a game changer! These methods are easy enough to do anywhere.

EVA M

I assumed some type of surgery was looming. After one session I saw about 20% reduction in sciatic pain. I was shocked. After 8 weeks, I am fully functioning. It honestly changed my life.

BETHANY E

You have the time...Egoscue probably has the cure. Try it. Unbelievable results.

CIA

A year ago I completed a 10 session program done using FaceTime which has changed my life. I could not walk without pain, today I am active on my farm and can hike without pain. I highly recommend this method to anyone who is living with pain - it's comfortable and it WORKS!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Have questions? We’re here to help.

What is The Egoscue Method?

Founded by Pete Egoscue in the 70s, The Egoscue Method is postural therapy. We believe that both chronic and acute pain is due to misalignment in the body as it loses its designed posture. The human body is designed to move! However, with most of society becoming more and more sedentary, the body develops musculoskeletal dysfunctions and compensations. When those are present, pain and injury set in or are lurking right around the corner. The Egoscue Method restores the body back to its designed posture, alleviating pain and returning you back to an active, pain-free lifestyle.

How does The Egoscue Method work?
The Egoscue Method uses a series of gentle exercises and stretches to return musculoskeletal balance and symmetry to your body. It’s no secret that muscles move bones. If your body has lost its designed posture, it’s because muscles have moved your bones into a new, dysfunctional position. Pain is the body’s way of alerting you to the fact that your body isn’t aligned—and therefore isn’t moving—properly. Through The Egoscue Method, your muscles will be reeducated and reminded how they need to function in order to maintain proper alignment.
How much does it cost?

The Egoscue Method is an investment in terms of both time and finances. Your Egoscue Method menu will take 30 minutes to two hours to complete. Although not everyone needs two hours, those who do are in so much pain they will do their menu daily, regardless of how long it takes.

On the financial side of things, we offer different therapy packages and experiences: You can work face to face with a therapist either in person or via digital therapy. We also offer online therapy. Talk with your therapist to determine which option suits you best and get an idea of how many visits you may need.

How long will it take for me to see results and feel better?
All of our clients respond differently and on different timelines. However, the vast majority feel different after their first visit. The body has an amazing ability to heal itself; you just have to give it a chance. Remember, you most likely didn’t get into your current position overnight, and you won’t get out of it overnight. The Egoscue Method is a process, but one with a remarkable 94 percent success rate since its inception.
How often do I need to do my exercises?
We ask that you do your exercises, what we call your “menu,” daily, although some clients will need to do their menu more than once per day. The Method is designed to systematically and methodically chip away at your dysfunctions and compensations. We have to remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day! By doing your menu daily, you are giving your body the positive stimuli that it needs, restoring proper alignment, and eliminating pain!
Do I have to do my menu in its entirety?

Yes, you need to do your full menu at least once per day, in the given order. One exercise sets up the next, so sequencing is important. Outside of that time, you can do any exercises that you feel are beneficial for your body.

Is it normal to feel sore after doing my menu?
Soreness is normal and can be a good thing. We call this “muscle awakening”, and it should diminish the more times you do your menu as your muscles adapt and adjust to the new work. Keep in mind that soreness is different from pain. If you are experiencing true pain, let your therapist know so any necessary adjustments can be made.
Is The Egoscue Method covered by insurance?
Being non-medical, The Method is not directly covered by insurance. However, many of our clients have success getting reimbursed from their insurance provider for at least a portion of what they pay. Egoscue Inc. does not file anything directly with your insurance provider, but we will do whatever we can—provide a letter of explanation, posture photos, etc.—to help you with the reimbursement process. Most of our clientele are able to use their health savings account or flexible spending account to pay for Egoscue therapy.
How long does it take to finish my therapy?

At Egoscue Inc., we pride ourselves on fostering an education-based therapy experience. We will walk with you, step-by-step, through each of your visits. Most of our clients need somewhere between 8 and 16 visits to see results. Keep in mind that we are working to eliminate structural dysfunctions that have been decades in the making.

Can I still see my chiropractor, physical therapist, massage therapist, or other health practitioner while doing The Egoscue Method?

At Egoscue Inc., we pride ourselves on fostering an education-based therapy experience. We will walk with you, step-by-step, through each of your visits. Most of our clients need somewhere between 8 and 16 visits to see results. Keep in mind that we are working to eliminate structural dysfunctions that have been decades in the making.

Is The Egoscue Method different than yoga or Pilates?
Yes. The Egoscue Method is a specifically tailored set of exercises designed to eliminate your structural dysfunctions that are causing your pain. The majority of yoga and Pilates classes are group-based where everyone in the class is asked to do the same exercises, poses, or moves. The Egoscue Method fosters a client-driven therapy experience where you and your therapist work together to develop your exercise menu, taking only what your body is able to functionally give on that day.
Do I need to purchase expensive equipment?

While Egoscue equipment is recommended, the vast majority of our exercises can be performed with items you have lying around your house. You can find links to places that carry our equipment on our products page.
