Hi my name is Mary Cay and I am an Egoscue Certified – Postural Alignment Specialist (PAS I & II, ETS) and a Licenced PTX Therapist; and I’m truly excited to share with you a method that has profoundly transformed my life. When I discovered Pete Egoscue’s book “Pain Free,” I felt a deep resonance with his message of personal responsibility for one’s health journey and inspiration to commit to moving every day. (Though it took me a little while!)
My childhood was constant motion: playing, judo, gymnastics, dance, yoga, biking, walking, running, roller skating, hiking… so much fun! But as I got older my body was not going in the right direction, I had aches and pains that were getting worse despite my best efforts with exercise and therapy. It scared me.
I truly understand that many of you might be dealing with pain, living in a body that seems to be headed in the wrong direction. It is heart-wrenching to grapple with limitations, especially when your body feels like it’s working against you. But what if I told you there is hope? Actions you could take to change your life’s trajectory – A way to communicate and collaborate with your body and get back on the track where movement is joyful again?
Green Alignment is a lifestyle, and Posture Work is more than just exercise as a good habit. It’s about learning your body’s language and engaging in a compassionate dialogue with your body every day. Many of our modern lifestyle habits have inadvertently distanced us from the natural alignment and balance that our bodies inherently possess. Just as you’d nurture a plant to ensure it grows upright and strong, Green Alignment Posture Work seeks to nurture and strengthen the body’s beauty, function and resilience.
Every time I witness someone rediscover the joy of a pain-free movement, the simple pleasure of a stretch, a lift, a twist without discomfort, my belief in Posture Work is reaffirmed. This isn’t just about exercises, it is about creating a harmonious relationship with your body, understanding its language, and responding with the utmost care and love. Restoring function and balance actually reignites a life of possibilities!
