Key Moments
Egoscue method treats pain through posture alignment
Brian Bradley discusses the Egoscue method (now PostureRx), a movement-based approach that resolves chronic pain by correcting posture.
"We want the human body to have its most efficient way of moving around and just living the most compelling life."
Your symptom location rarely matches the cause
Chronic pain in any joint traces back to postural dysfunction, not the painful area itself.
"I don't care what symptom shows up. CrossFit didn't hurt you. You showed up broke. You just didn't have enough awareness to understand that."
