My Posture Correction Approach

I’ve found that most people want to improve their posture because they’re either in pain, they’re unhappy with how they look, or they want to keep their bodies working well as they age – or sometimes all three!

The biggest mistake I think people make when trying to improve their posture is believing that they have to learn how to sit, stand and walk correctly. They think it’s all about consciously trying to force their body into a better position. They’re often surprised when I tell them that this is absolutely not what having good posture is about. How many times have you tried to sit or stand up straight and then a few moments later you get distracted and end up back in your normal position? Furthermore, for many people trying to sit or stand up straighter can feel quite uncomfortable and painful because their bodies are not ready to hold them in this position.

A much better approach is to improve the balance of your muscles from left to right, and from front to back, because it’s the balance of these muscles that determines your body alignment. I give my clients gentle posture correction exercises to do daily. These exercises stretch and strengthen certain parts of their body and get them into better alignment without them even having to think about it. It’s not a quick fix and it does take time and effort, but it could help you to end your current pain (if you have any), feel more confident about the way you look, and reduce your risk of future pain and injuries.

How Do I Start?

“After four months with daily exercises I am now pain free for the first time in many years! I had been suffering from neck and shoulder pain for several years and lately also tennis elbow and sciatic leg pain. I was desperate when I found Ameet and The Egoscue Method. The therapy has done wonders for me and I can highly recommend Ameet, who is very professional.”

Monica Hyllner, Consultant Anaesthetist, MD, PhD
“If you want a life pain free, Ameet is the therapist you should see. His focused programme of tailor made exercises have resolved my long standing neck & shoulder stiffness over just a few weeks. His empathy, enthusiasm and encouragement lead to success stories like mine. I have been recommending him and The Egoscue Method to several patients since experiencing amazing results myself.”

Dr Shobana Sreetharan, GP
“I’d been experiencing pain in my hips for 3 years, pain in my upper back for 20 years and unable to walk. The consultant advised that, apart from pain killers, there was nothing they could do for me. I was determined to challenge the consultant’s view and research led me to The Egoscue Method. Six months on with Ameet, I’m pain free and walking the dog for an hour a day.”

“After an L4 and L5 disc bulge my chronic back pain was debilitating at times. I tried different therapies and even a steroid injection, none of which had any lasting effect. I’ve improved massively thanks to Ameet and am no longer considering the NHS recommendation of having a back operation! I can run pain free and am registered for two half marathons! He has helped me enormously.”

Chris Barton, Graphic Designer - chrisbartoncreative.com
“I was not sleeping well. I was suffering from pain in my neck and upper back and I couldn’t pick up my grandchildren without a great deal of discomfort. After a series of sessions with Ameet, the improvement has been really remarkable. I now have a programme of exercises, which take me less than 30 minutes a day. The pain in my neck and back has gone and I feel generally fitter and healthier.”

My Story with Chronic Pain

While studying at university I developed severe RSI and chronic back pain. I remember being so frustrated at the time because nobody could tell me the root cause.
