    My lower back pain was cured in 2011-12 with the Gokhale method. However, 1.5 years ago I had a rib injury, that I was unable to recover from. As recently as yesterday, I learned, with a Gokhale Method postural assessment, that my posture had deteriorated. I am now signed up for another Gokhale Method Foundation Course, and will report back with results.

    My exercise routine consists of 1/2 hour of weight bearing exercise and a 40 minute walk, at least 5 days per week.

      Physical Therapy

    Rarely affects my daily life anymore, thanks to the Gokhale Method. It's worked better than any physical therapy. I had a neck injury I didn't realize I had from a skiing fall 30 years ago which affected the alignment off my spine. My chiropractor performs upper cervical adjustments and the Gokhale Method I believe is correcting my spine. I'm so grateful to have found the Gokhale Method.
