Due to CFS I have to rest a lot. Over the years, I have had lower back pain and now, probably due to bad posture, I am starting to notice neck pain and stiffness. I also have knee pain. I am looking to correct my posture and learn how to get healthy just through improving my every day movements.

10 years ago, did some misguided experiments with backstroke and triggered some neck muscles. Since then, my neck will tighten up if I have been working at the computer too long, if I'm dehydrated, especially stressed, or especially tired. Remembering to relax my neck, adjusting my head and neck posture, or sleeping it off works best to reset.

the work I did with Gokhake Method was the most impactful of all the things I have tried. Massage, yoga and stretching would relieve some pain (and exacerbate sometimes other). But Esther's class has really take the pain level down to a very mild place and I feel I am still unwinding years of next, shoulder, back and hip pain through the posture changes she has taught

Before I discovered the Gokhale Method, acupuncture provided the most relief, but not enough to continue working and daily activities. Muscle Relaxants, stretching, exercise, and massage did nothing to help. Reading and following, "8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back" by Esther Gokhale helped me get rid of 70% of my neck pain over the course of 1 year. After getting my knees replaced, I was able to get rid of 95% of neck pain following Gokhale. I still have some tightness after long car drives or sitting at a desk. (Probably just need to take more breaks.)
