ALIGN & REFINE CLASSES
"A pain free, active lifestyle is not only possible, but it is the way you should expect to feel and live, no matter your age, no matter your previous experience"
(Pete Egoscue, founder of The Egoscue Method)
Imbalances in your postural alignment can be the source of chronic pain, repetitive injuries, recurring headaches, jaw pain....all of which affect not only physical but emotional well-being.
Align & Refine classes reacquaint you with your body, providing activation to all the major muscle groups. Through a series of specifically targeted exercises (each one a functional test), we assess the function of the muscles, revealing which ones work the way they were designed to and which ones are not pulling their weight - literally!
These exercises stabilise, strengthen and tone the muscles from the inside out, reawakening lost neuromuscular connections. When working to their designed function, the muscles support the structure of the body in alignment, allowing joints and organs to work freely, without wasting unecessary energy in compensatory actions and freeing you from ongoing aches and pains.
Postural Alignment doesn’t just help on a physical level. Given how intricately interwoven the body, mind and spirit are, it makes sense to assume that our posture and mental health are influenced by one another. Feeling taller and lighter, moving with more ease, and breathing more freely has a direct influence on our relation to the world around us and vice versa.
Align & Refine is an enlightening opportunity to activate and empower the body AND the brain cells!

ALIGN FOR PREGNANCY
• Training the body to work as a unit & align hips for a healthy pregnancy and birth.
• Dedicated exercise programmes for each trimester
Aligning the body reduces back pain and allows the body to understand where it is throughout the pregnancy. Back pain and discomfort are reduced because the muscles are holding the bones in their correct position.
Sessions can continue post partum to help the muscles return the body to stable alignment after birth.
Consistency and ongoing support will keep you feeling at your best and free you to focus on baby.

CLASSES
Alignment classes challenge all the major muscle groups to activate optimum efficiency of movement.
Strong neuromuscular connections provide stability, strength, and relief from pain.
You will notice an improvement not only in your ability to move, but in overall mood!
FOR LIFE
With a regular programme of Massage treatments, issues of chronic pain, incidence of repetitive injuries and slow recovery times improve greatly.
The body responds more readily to current protocols.
You can run faster, respond quicker, find more focus, be stronger and function at your best for longer.
FOR REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
If the body is misaligned due to disfunction of the muscles, the pelvic region will be out of alignment.
It creates an abnormal environment for organs to function in and lead to difficulties in the reproductive organs (this applies to men as well as women).
Postural Alignment Therapy can guide you through each trimester for a healthy, pain free pregnancy as well as post partum.
NB. Therapies at Align are not a substitute for medical treatment and appropriate advice should be taken in these areas
