What It Is - Esther Gokhale

The Gokhale Method^SM uses healthy posture and movement to help you re-establish your body's structural integrity and regain a pain-free life.

We are marvelously designed creatures. We have inherent grace and strength, like every other creature on the planet. Our bodies heal spontaneously, and if we respect our natural design, we can function well for close to a century.

Most pain can be attributed to how we hold ourselves and how we move. Since we are born without a user’s manual, we rely on our culture to guide us.

As a result, in the United States:

		90% of adults experience back pain at some point in their lives¹.

		This year, 50% of working Americans will experience back pain¹.

		Back pain is now the leading cause of disability in people under 45 years old².

		By age 15, more than 60% of all adolescents have experienced back and/or neck pain³.

We have lost sight of what constitutes healthy posture; in fact, many popular guidelines for “good posture” are just plain wrong.

		Our ancestors knew how to move without pain.
		Babies know how to move without pain.
		Some cultures still know how to move without pain.
