“I joined the Posture Squad about 6 weeks ago and have just completed the Foundation Programme. What. A. Discovery. For the last several years, I have had a lot of upper body pain and discomfort and was constantly searching for exercises to address this. The exercises contained in the Foundation Programme have helped me realise that I need to focus more on foot and hip function in order to address my upper body issues. How I wish I had had an inkling of this before!
I am so glad that I have found Ellie, Ben and The Posture Squad! I used to frequently experience asthma symptoms after brisk walking and that has virtually stopped now. That’s absolutely massive for me and I truly believe that it’s down to the posture exercises I’ve been doing – nothing else has changed in my life. The pain intensity has reduced, and the nausea that used to sometimes accompany it occurs far less frequently now. I am immensely grateful for all of those improvements after such a short period of time. I am determined to improve even more, and feel confident that under the guidance of Ellie and Ben and their carefully designed exercise videos, that is what’s going to happen. I can’t recommend The Posture Squad highly enough and would encourage anyone thinking about joining to just do it!”
“To say that Posture Ellie has changed my life for the better is an understatement. If there were 10 stars here, I would put 11 ! Through the Posture Squad (for a modest monthly payment), I have the ability tap into a huge video library of posture and movement exercises. I have the ability to take live classes — and best of all — through a Community page in the software, I can ask Ellie questions and learn from others in the Posture Squad of their experiences and suggestions. I CANNOT LIVE WELL WITHOUT the help provided by Posture Ellie. Sign up – you will change your life!”
“I always have a seasonal allergy just after Christmas: all the usual hay fever type symptoms plus acid reflux (I don’t get this any other time of year). It goes on for about 2/3 months, then it suddenly stops. Well, it’s now pretty much the end of tree allergy season (April) for me and my symptoms have been very few and far between this year. I normally feel pretty poorly, even with taking antihistamines. The worst thing is normally the acid reflux and a bad sore throat … which I didn’t experience at all! It was only prickly eyes and feeling a bit lethargic. I’m putting this down to re-learning nasal breathing and improving my posture in your classes and so filtering out that pesky pollen and positioning my head and lungs more optimally!”
“I found Ellie through her free videos on Youtube and then did The Posture Revolution (Ellie’s deep dive course) and am now a member of The Posture Squad. I have no more back pain and much better posture and the exercises are a happy habit instead of a chore. Ellie is a wonderful teacher and with the free trial month you can experience this for yourselves without risk. Highly recommend – posture will change your life”
“My third birth was amazing – I had the water birth I always wanted! When my contractions started in the morning, I did my full posture routine, meditation and breathwork. I felt like I knew how to work with my body to do what the muscles needed to do in each contraction and how to align my pelvis to make sure I wasn’t holding any tension there. Trusting and knowing how to work with my body made the contractions less uncomfortable and more efficient.
My whole labour was much shorter and less hard work (than the previous two times) and I gave birth just a few hours later. I actually managed to ‘breathe my baby out’, which I thought was a lie until it happened to me! The midwives all said that the birth was pretty special and unusual to see.
I am convinced that my postural work made this possible for me, firstly due to better alignment of my pelvis but also due to better connection and understanding of my body. My change in mindset to trust my body allowed me to follow the natural process with confidence and understanding. The labour was a completely different experience to my other two, when labour was much longer and harder, and I had to be transferred to the ward for assistance.
I am now starting up some gentle posture exercises to help with recovery and achey upper body from feeding round the block – my body already feels stronger and in better alignment than previous recoveries though!”
“Having worked with Ellie to improve my posture over the years, I have learnt to breathe better, strengthen and release the muscles around my pelvis / hips and open up my ribcage.
These three things have helped tremendously with my IBS issues. Thank you, Ellie!”
“Working with Ellie on my posture, has truly transformed my experience with sciatica pain.
Before I started doing her programme, I struggled with constant discomfort in my lower back and legs, and I had noticed a persistent hip hike that made things worse. Ellie’s approach to improving my posture and addressing the imbalances has made all the difference.
With her expertise, I’ve experienced significant relief from my sciatica, and my posture, including the alignment of my hips, has improved drastically. I feel more balanced, confident, and pain-free thanks to her guidance. I’m incredibly grateful for the positive changes Ellie has helped me achieve!”
“After an accident aggravated and exposed Tarlov Cyst Disease (which causes debilitating sacral and buttock nerve pain plus numbness and a whole host of other undesirable outcomes) I found myself confined to bed, as all movement intensified pain to the point of only being able to lie still on a heat pad to relieve. Gentle chiropractic helped, but the adjustment didn’t hold for long.
Divine intervention led me to ‘Pain Free’ which explained how untangling tight muscles and fascia was key to becoming pain free. I thought maybe untwisting my spine would relieve the pressure on the nerve roots and get me out of pain.
I carefully tried the passive Static Back pose and could hardly believe something so simple could have such a profound effect. Even as I lay there, my pain decreased. I was instantly converted from that moment and listened to podcast after podcast to learn more.
Since then, I have done posture work daily and, even though I am still limited in what exercises I’m able to do, my quality of life has improved dramatically. A surprising side effect of literally undoing years of accumulated stress and tension is that my body is changing shape for the better as well. I’m not healed by any means, but I feel I’m on the right path.”
“When I started posture training my goal was less neck and knee pain. Now, in addition to being pain free, I am now stronger, more sure-footed and breathe better than I have in my entire life.
It’s stunning how much easier it is to improve dysfunctional breathing habits when your body is properly aligned. Along with better breathing, my anxiety has lessened, as have my allergy symptoms.
My body is no longer the thing that just carries around my brain. I move well and have gained an awareness of how all the parts work together.
I feel more confident too.
The posture transformation has been more than I expected, in the very best way.”
“I had already raised my breathing to a better level using mouth-tape for well over a year, but, when starting posture, I did so with an eye toward alleviating my left leg sciatica pain and reducing both my forward head posture and rounded shoulders.
Unexpectedly, about one-month into the routines, I suddenly noticed that it was October, and I was not, and had not been, using my inhaler for my asthma.
That month had historically been the very worst for me. Having developed asthma at age 32 (I am twice that age plus some now!) when it was at its worst, I used the inhaler 3 times per day, every day. The reduction in use six-months into committed posture work, is such that I use the inhaler once every 2 weeks or so … barely in use at all.
It has been such a good feeling to have improved posture with the bonus of improved breathing.
And, by the way, the goals of less pain and improved postural elements have happened! I owe both the inspiration and, of course, the instruction, to Ellie. Her combination of methods, based on her experience, has proven to be a game-changer for my entire body, full stop!”
“I think the best words that come to mind after finding posture and working on it for a few months is grateful and excited!
I’m grateful for the learning process and the awareness I’ve developed by learning how to listen to my body better.
And, most importantly, I’m grateful for tools I’ll continue to use in my journey for a pain free life.
My right hip pain has improved at least 75%!!! I sleep supine almost all night and my hip pain is barely there.
When working out I feel new muscles in my right hip/glute area working. My left leg/hip is also working harder picking up slack. It’s awesome!
I’m excited to continue the process and work hard at figuring it all out.”
“A month or so ago, I noticed that I was starting to have some heavy pelvic tension and an increase in my varicose veins at the top of my legs. I was then diagnosed with Vulva Varicosities.
I’m in my 3rd trimester of my 2nd pregnancy so I knew to expect some new changes to my body but I wasn’t quite prepared for that!
The tension was becoming unbearable, to the point some days standing up was causing so much pain and my varicose veins were bulging.
I’ll be honest I had let my posture practice slip, so I decided to jump back into The Posture Squad’s mini Back Pain programme (from July 2024).
The class called ‘Impact of the Hips & Glutes on Spinal Positioning’ completely blew me away, when I stood up after doing that class I was instantly met with pelvic relief, I also noticed my veins looked less swollen.
I repeated the same class everyday for 2 weeks and since doing so my symptoms have massively reduced, I might have the odd day of pain perhaps if I haven’t slept well or if I have had to be on my feet for hours at a time (chasing a toddler around) but I know exactly what to do at the end of the day to resolve that.
I can only think that how my posture has changed during pregnancy has affected my circulation and the exercises you provide help my body to be able to function well again, so thank you, I feel so grateful to always have The Posture Squad to keep me out of pain.
No matter how hard I try posture is the ONLY thing that I have found where I am almost able to “fix” myself.”
“I feel like I’ve changed a huge amount since I started committing to my posture back in the depths of winter. I am so much more in touch with my body – how it’s doing, what it needs – physically, mentally and emotionally. I have begun to really feel the connections between different areas of my body, rather than just intellectually understanding what Ellie says about this.
I have experienced releases and alignment like I never have before, and have begun to feel more balance and grounding (especially the ribcage on the floor) It all feels so good that its become part of the motivation to do my daily exercises (to get more of it!)
My breathing has been a big unexpected area of focus these last few months. I never realised it was dysfunctional – that was a learning in the first couple of weeks of this course. I then went through a few weeks of feeling completely unable to take a deep breath – which honestly felt quite unnerving and panic-inducing, and I had no idea what to do about it.
I admit to feeling quite lost with it at times. But I’m grateful for that process now, as I really had to work on it myself – on trying different positions and exercises and feeling how they were for my body.
“I am now much more aware of my breathing on a daily basis and have begun to experience some beautiful releases around my ribcage and spine that are really helping me on the path to functional, deep breaths.
I have really enjoyed being part of a like-minded group. It’s been fascinating to me how different all of our bodies are, and how different all of our journeys have been – such a good learning in itself (to help stop the unhealthy comparison). All of that said, there are overlaps and I have learnt a lot from your questions and Ellie’s answers.
And thank you Ellie, you really are a superstar. You have such knowledge and wisdom, yet still manage to have a growth mindset that makes you so personable and fun to be on the journey with. You are very skilled at explaining the exercises and the way posture works in general (thank you especially for being so patient with my endless stream of big questions!) Your relentless optimism and unwavering support have been amazing. Thank you!
So now, 4 months in, I am definitely not pain-free. I still can’t reliably take a deep breath. I still don’t feel like I’ve worked out the onion of my body. But I feel like I understand what I’m doing now (mostly!), have a huge number of tools at my disposal to keep exploring, and a lot of motivation and excitement to see what comes next.”
“I highly recommend anyone who has struggled with pain and dysfunction in their body to jump into working with Ellie.
Starting posture was one of the best decisions I could make. I have learnt so much about my body, and have begun to unlock some very very old and stuck habits in my body I was beginning to think I would not be able to get help with.
For the first time in a long time I have hope within myself, about my own abilities to improve and find greater freedom in movement and the activities in my life. It has been a long time since I’ve felt this and I know many of us with chronic pain have felt that same struggle.
Ellie gives so much to the group and each individual within the programme. She is the best supporter you could ask for, and from across the planet I could feel her investment in me and my journey.
Her responses, information, enthusiasm, and advice in the container were more than I have often received on an individual basis from other practitioners and I learnt and received so much support from the group.
So please jump in and experience Ellie for yourself in her posture programme, you won’t regret it!”
“I was involved in a high speed car accident and I managed to walk away with only a broken pinky finger (or so I thought) … I was eager to get back to the gym as soon as possible, so I started my gym routine again as soon after I though I’d healed.
One day, I decided to re-test my old strength by deadlifting my old personal best. I made the pull and walked out of the gym unscathed … or so I thought. The next day I woke up in awful pain in my hip / low back area. I’ve never experienced anything like it and it didn’t go away with rest.
I set off on my posture / rehabilitation journey to understand what happened to me and get back to how I was before.
When I found Posture Ellie’s YouTube Channel, I love how she explained The Egoscue Method corrective posture exercises and I signed up for the programme!
And, here we are, at the end of 4 months. This morning, I went to the gym and deadlifted 145 pounds for 10 reps. This was the first time performing the movement since the injury. This breaks the goal that I set before I started!
I’m still working hard and I am not completely pain-free, but I feel like an entirely different person since starting posture, everything has improved and, even though I still have a bit of a nag still in my low back / pelvis area, I’m much more confident in my body and in movement than I have been in perhaps a decade.
I wanted to say thank you to Ellie and my other posture friends for being here, it’s been an education seeing everyone in their own discovery of their bodies and patterns and I hope you all continue to discover and find relief … Cheers!”
“Ellie is a fantastic posture coach!
She is extremely detailed in every exercise that she teaches, so much so that I realized there were some exercises that I wasn’t doing correctly.
Her posture program really helped me understand my own pain and the ‘why’ behind it.
I recommend this program to anyone who wants to decrease their pain levels and truly understand their body and how it works.
Ellie empowers you to be the expert of your own body so you don’t have to feel like you’re relying on someone to tell you what to do.
My only regret is not starting posture sooner!”
“Ellie is a very knowledgeable teacher and really great and patient at answering all my super geeky questions. Being a part of this posture programme was an invaluable experience for me, as a learning tool to complement my own Egoscue Method training and to see how the theory translates into practice.
I’m really glad I signed up for this programme, because, as well as allowing me to learn more about my own body, it will also undoubtably make me a better teacher and mentor for my own clients.
Ellie’s simple explanations and enviable knowledge of what it really means when a body part does this or that, or knowing why it moves a certain way, has given me several a-ha moments throughout the course and saved me hours of figuring this all out on my own.
It will also allow me to answer these same questions from my own curious clients and help them understand their body better and get out of pain. A true ripple effect in helping as many people as possible.
If there are any budding posture therapists out there who want to accelerate their path to being a better therapist and deepen their Egoscue Method knowledge, then I’d highly recommend working with Ellie.”
“I want to say a massive thank you for all your help and enthusiasm over the past few months since I started posture, I’ve absolutely loved it.
It’s given me the tools to experiment and the confidence to be able to figure out what works for my body.
My biggest surprise has been regaining my breath after my ribcage repositioned itself.
I hadn’t realised that my breath was so anxious and shallow.”
“I have terrible hunched over posture from a lifetime of sitting in front of a computer.
I tried Physiotherapy, Yoga, Pilates – it all helped a little. Ellie helped me understand (and experience) that the symptom and the root of a problem are not the same at all and that I need to work on my feet, my hips, my wrists….before my slouch is really going to change.
Starting posture like this makes it possible to experience the possibility of amazing change in a group of likeminded people who share your frustrations and successes. All it takes is commitment and half an hour of time each day and Ellie is there to guide you every step of the way.
Highly recommended!”
“Thank goodness I listened to my head saying ‘try posture’ and that I finally decided to take a moment to acknowledge that I am in pain and I shouldn’t be.
I found in you someone who cares and whose method makes sense. I was after a holistic approach and that’s exactly what I have got from you Posture Ellie (which I was not getting through the usual ‘quick’ fix routes).
I have learnt about the many compensations that have crept in and causing pain and difficulty moving. I am now beginning to understand why they are there and how to fix them.
You have been just the person I needed to help me through my journey to improve my posture and movement.
Thank you Ellie.”
“I started posture after reading as much as I could about The Egoscue Method then testing the waters with Ellie’s 3 Week Glute Challenge.
She explains things in such an understandable way. The postural assessments are a revelation. The community group is a great way to get questions answered. The daily work is manageable and being involved in the group keeps me accountable.
Starting posture has helped me develop a better kinaesthetic sense and even though I’m only halfway through, I can feel things changing and improving. More importantly I now have tools to help counteract postural issues and disparities.
It’s been the best investment!”
“Ellie! I can’t believe what just happened.
I have been working on my feet tonight – in particular trying to get my ankles to loosen up – they are so tight! So have been doing various Plantar- and Dorsi-flexion stuff. I finally got a huge reaction in my left leg from my lower shin, into my calf, up into my quad, which activated my hamstring. – major cramping in all of these, like a chain reaction!
I stopped to come here and post this cuz I’m so happy. it’s been SO difficult to get my legs to start waking up and THERE IT IS! YES!!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to The Egoscue Method, The Posture Squad and to you … and to my own hard work!!!”
“Ellie is an amazing coach who is very passionate about what she does. Her knowledge in the field is exceptional and she has led me (amongst others) with an individual approach. I have enjoyed every minute of it and have learnt more about my own body than at anytime in my life.
No conventional Doctor will ever teach or tell you anything about what is going on with your posture. Going back and forth to the Doctor’s office with my never-ending list of pains, I never knew why my sciatica pain was appearing, what to do if my feet hurt for days or how to regain mobility and balance in my upper so my left shoulder stopped hurting.
The past three months have been the most valuable lessons I have had in my entire life. Thanks to Ellie, I have found light at the end of the tunnel and don’t need to be afraid about my body declining (approaching my forties). There is a way to stop all the discomfort and never ending pain which, nowadays, starts for many of us way too early in our lives. No, I am not completely pain free yet, but it only took my 3 months with Ellie to start sleeping pain free at night, forgetting what sciatica pain feels like, reducing the massive stiffness in my hips whilst walking or being able to carry shopping to my house without having to stop every 3 mins to rest my numb shoulders.
This is only the beginning for me so, thank you Ellie for bringing happiness to my life!”
“Felt a bit emotional this morning as I realised that, not only can I not remember the last time my headache / earache was really bad since starting posture, I haven’t been thinking or worrying about it either. I feel like the past couple of years it’s been a constant. Every holiday or event wasn’t fully how I expected, that was the biggest impact for me, how low I felt and that it seemed nothing could help.
I’ve just had a week off work and my sisters wedding at the weekend and it makes me so bloody happy to reflect on that I’ve felt good, and didn’t have to even consider whether I would or not. I’ve finally got that understanding of what is causing the pain I feel so happy to be as active as I want to be.”
“I heard about Posture Ellie when a family member casually mentioned following her on Instagram. After three previous operations on my shoulders I have been feeling increasingly stiff and sore. I am not (what I would class as!) ‘old’, and was looking for an approach which ‘connected the dots’ – to get me away from regular rounds of massage, physio, yoga and foam rolling to help the ‘the bits that hurt’. I wanted to get back to more activity, feel confident about my body and see lasting change in my (hip) pain.
After a bit of research and reading about the programme, wondering how the approach would work for me. I needn’t have worried. I have already seen major benefits to neck and shoulder stiffness and a re-awakening of my feet. I thought I was flatfooted – not a belief I can hang onto in this course!
Ellie has a gift when it comes to explaining and demonstrating the Egoscue approach. She leads sessions with attention to detail, clarity and passion. I was a bit skeptical about the group approach, but I am beginning to see how it works, and, as with the whole programme, things like the Community Group can be used as much or as little as you like. Some exercises we are taught are immediately beneficial, for others I have decided to ‘trust the process’ and give it time. Of course there is a longer road to travel to see lasting change, but it feels good to be where I am right now.”
“One real positive that has come in the last month or so since starting posture is that I feel I can walk so much more naturally and comfortably and in an upright position. For years I had felt difficulty seemingly rotating the hips properly and standing straight and walking naturally, but that has improved a lot and I have even been able to do some light jogging again.”
“Discovering posture with Ellie has been such an experience so far, it is such a comprehensive educational programme and Ellie has guided us every step of the way.
I tend to get overwhelmed with all the different exercises that The Egoscue Method has to offer. Ellie breaks them all into chunk size pieces and explains why we do each exercise and the effect it has on the body. She is so knowledgeable and loves helping us!
I feel such a sense of being grounded and my back stiffness and niggles release every time I do a routine. It is an ongoing process that needs a bit of time every day, and that way you learn so much about your body. Ellie is always on hand to answer questions.
I have never slept so well!”
“I have terrible hunched over posture from a lifetime of sitting in front of a computer. I tried Physiotherapy, Yoga, Pilates – it all helped a little. Ellie helped me understand (and experience) that the symptom and the root of a problem are not the same at all and that I need to work on my feet, my hips, my wrists….before my slouch is really going to change.
Doing posture online with Ellie makes it possible to experience the possibility of amazing change in a group of likeminded people who share your frustrations and successes. All it takes is commitment and half an hour of time each day and Ellie is there to guide you every step of the way. Highly recommended!”
“Finding posture has helped me see beyond my areas of tension and pain and pinpoint where I’m dysfunctional. I now have a clearer blueprint for moving forward, and I feel more level in my pelvis and stronger in my glutes and feet! I can walk faster and the work is more evenly distributed between my legs.
The group aspect of the program has been fun and engaging. It brings me great comfort knowing I’m not alone in my issues, and people all around the world are going through the exercises every day with me.
And Ellie is the best guide you could have on this journey. She’s clear, funny, supportive, and responsive. You can trust that Ellie will help you feel more comfortable in your body.”
“I think Ellie is running an amazing course with a fantastic mix of professionalism and friendliness.
I feel very empowered by the self discovery aspect and although it is early in my posture journey I feel very confident about the outcomes.
I started the course feeling a bit defeated by pain and three weeks in I now feel hopeful and excited.”
“Posture is proving to be everything I hoped it would be, and I love that I am noticing changes to my body already.
Ellie is calm, extremely knowledgeable and supportive in every way. The information provided is clear, concise and easy to follow. Everything is laid out in a way that you know what to expect and what is expected of you to get good results.
I am really looking forward to the rest of the course and finding out even more about my body.”
“Posture is for everybody!
Ellie has created an incredible environment that allows you to understand and explore your body in a different, more connected way. She is a great coach and you don’t need to be a yoga practitioner, fitness trainer or anatomy freak to understand what she is talking about.
Her refreshingly honest and analytical way of teaching whilst being empathetic and playful is simply unique.
Thank you so much, Ellie, for giving me the tools to understand how everything in my body is connected, and to finally live a pain-free life (except for when doing the foot exercises 😉 ).”
“I woke up this morning and my first thought was “What a gorgeous morning!” and my second thought was to get up and go out with my dog. As you know, my first thought for several months has been, “Am I going to be in pain when I get out of bed? Is my back going to go? Should I remain in bed today?”
I walked up the Ridgeway (4.5 miles) in the sunshine .. I can’t tell you how much this means to me. I have returned in no pain!
This was the best thing I could have gifted myself. Your analysis of my body and the posture exercise programme is what I believe has been a game changer. I can feel the difference and I am truly mobile again with more confidence to enjoy the things I love! I am so happy – thank you!”
“I feel quite emotional thinking about how 7 years ago a surgeon told me a I needed back surgery and would likely live with back pain for the rest of my life.
Luckily I avoided surgery with lots of physio, but the real change has come since I started exploring posture and then learning it through you.
I have been pain free pretty much ever since! I have loved learning more about my body and becoming more confident about what movement my body needs and what feels right for me.
Thank you for creating The Posture Revolution and for sharing your passion and knowledge!”
“I can’t tell you how much painsomnia I had before starting Ellie’s posture programme. I had it for years.
Now I am doing posture exercises every day, my pain is bed has been reduced substantially – and I’m NOT SLEEPING IN ANY DIFFERENT POSITION! It’s amazing!”
“Today I had a big upper body release and then my right hip really loosened up for the first time in years! The whole hip seemed to move around in the pelvis and then was much more even and grounded through the right side. Posture exercises after that felt very different!”
“This works and has been worth every penny! I cannot believe how much better my body feels since finding Posture Ellie.
I have been searching for a solution to my neck, shoulder and lower back pain for the last 20 years and have tried physio, chiropractors, osteopaths, acupuncture and podiatry. These have all helped for a little while, only for pain to recur or move to a new place.
Ellie is professional, knowledgable and very friendly.
The results have been far better that I believed was possible. My posture looks better and my neck and shoulder pain is non existent. If there is soreness at the end of the day, I know exactly what exercises are going to relieve the discomfort.
I can stand and sit still without stiffness and back pain. I can walk up hills without getting sore hips. I will certainly be continuing the exercises.
Thank you so much Ellie!”
“Just gotta say, between finding posture with Ellie and Pilates (with a fabulous instructor), my life has changed. I look forward to moving and I’m moving without pain and without a limp! I’ve lost 5 pounds. Friends have noticed I look ‘lighter’. I couldn’t be happier!”
“I’ll start this by asking myself, “how did I not find this sooner?!” The Egoscue Method is the most simple approach to pain management I have come across, and it is without a doubt the most effective for me. Since my injury occurred 5 years ago, I have been through all avenues – chiropractors, osteopaths, physios, acupuncturists … ending up with the top back & spine specialists in the Cotswolds.
Following 2 x-rays and 1 MRI scan, I was told there was nothing mechanically wrong with my back/shoulder/pelvis. Presumably this was supposed to be music to my ears as no surgery was required … but why was I listening to this man with shooting pains through my abdomen, legs & shoulder?
I was absolutely convinced I was going to live with this pain the rest of my life and couldn’t even think about starting a family. When I first came across Ellie’s Instagram – the content was very relatable and just made sense to me.
Her approach is simple – ’cause & effect’ – to look for the root cause of the pain, not focusing on ‘where the pain is’. Some of which were very surprising and I had never heard before!
My pain began to subside almost immediately. I had the ‘weird’ feelings associated with the changes in my posture (Ellie warned me of this). But I have never experienced anything so effective with such little effort, time and funds. I began exercising at the gym again, which would historically make me so frightened of hurting myself but now I feel reassured as any twinges of pain I feel can be quickly corrected with my short exercise routine.
I couldn’t be happier. Well, I say happy, I would’ve been much happier if I had discovered this method several years before to avoid serious anxieties and nearing £3,000+ of treatment! I can’t recommend Ellie enough – what she has given me in confidence to keep my pain under control is astonishing and I am forever grateful!”
“I am back to my evolving ‘new normal’ and I’m feeling straight again! Unlike, in the past, I’d be stewing over whether to book a physio, a chiro or acupuncture session (no more of that non-solution!) … now, thanks to Ellie and posture and The Egoscue Method, I am developing a growing appreciation for having such a great suite of tools to work with and an evolving body literacy. It’s very empowering!”
“Plantar fasciitis virtually gone! And my husband remarked how much better my balance was at the end of our hill walk today.
He says that whatever it is I am doing is working. Yay!”
“For less than the cost of a pair of running shoes, this has changed my life!
I’m a 50+ year old fell runner/ultra runner. I’ve been struggling with a glute and hip flexor problem for nearly 6 months and it was beginning the affect my mental health, as well as my running. I decided I needed to address the cause, rather than just keep treating the symptoms with either physio, rest, stretching or just ignoring the problem (it turns out the ‘problem’ was caused by something else entirely). A friend recommended Ellie. I hadn’t heard of The Egoscue Method before I was willing to try anything
Within 48 hours, the results were remarkable! I could feel an improvement in my problem areas and generally felt more balanced and mobile.
My running ability improved within days and has continued to do so ever since.
I can’t recommend Ellie enough.”
“I’ve been suffering chronic back/hip pain for as long as I can remember and I’ve tried many different avenues, with no luck or lasting pain relief whatsoever.
I spent thousands over the years on different treatments and had epidural injections (which were very expensive!) that did nothing both times. They just temporarily masked the pain and didn’t look at what was causing the pain – it seems a narrow minded approach now looking back.
The whole thing was very frustrating, until I stumbled on Ellie, The Egoscue Method and posture therapy. I can’t believe I never found her sooner – I would’ve saved thousands and never-mind the years of debilitating pain! I know where I should’ve initially spent my (considerably LOT less) money.
She’s very enthusiastic about pain relief (lucky for me!) I can’t recommend her enough, its really opened my eyes and has got me interested in the importance of posture.
I feel like I am in control of my pain now; it’s loads better than it was and is getting better everyday, I’m moving, sleeping, functioning and just living a lot better.”
“I am pain free and feeling so much better! Ellie has also helped me understand how my posture has been affecting my running (I run Ultra Marathons and love Fell Running!) and, whilst it is early days, I’m already seeing improvements in pace and form!
I feel transformed, I’m sleeping better and my whole mood is just lighter.”
“I just left my chiropractor’s office. I’ve been seeing him for years to work on posture and various aches and pains. He was very impressed with the changes in my body after I’d started posture routines. His comment was that I was much more toned and balanced and my muscles were less “ropey”. I think he (or his wife) are going to sign up!”
“For many years I have suffered due to postural issues. In a short time, I have learned more from Ellie about my body and ways to help myself improve my posture than from any other professional I have seen in the past.
Ellie has a deep understanding of body mechanics and The Egoscue Method. Her teaching is clear, precise and easy to follow and her enthusiastic, warm, friendly manner shines through, making it a joy to learn from her.
It does require commitment to regularly do the exercises Ellie sets for you but, when a long term pain disappears, the hard work is absolutely worth it!”
”If only I had stumbled across Posture Ellie before I felt like I wasted time (and money!) on physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopathy in an effort to find answers and relief from 25 years of neck and upper back pain.
Ellie has an in-depth knowledge of The Egoscue Method to identify areas of the body that are not moving correctly or are out of alignment and are therefore causing pain. After working with her, I have had a huge reduction in my pain levels in two weeks.
My whole body feels as if it is moving with more ‘ease’, giving my confidence that this is the answer to managing my condition long term. Thanks Ellie!”
“I decided around 55 (I am now 68 ½!) that I wanted to go into my older age as fit and well as possible. I had heard about Pete Egoscue and bought his book Pain Free in 2014.
I had worked my way through several exercises and found good relief. Whenever I had an issue .. knees .. feet … I would look up exercises and find something that I thought was appropriate and so I went on. I have had recurring issues with my left foot and decided that I needed ‘proper’ guidance and not the home made cobbled together programme that I had been working through so I contacted Ellie. Well, I just don’t know what to say!! Ellie is both charming and delightful as well as having a laser like ability to diagnose the posture issues.
I had just three exercises and, by the end of the first week, I was pretty much pain free!! Ellie walks you through each exercise that she gives you, nudging your body in oh such delicate ways to realign itself. Her online instruction videos are also excellent.
I really couldn’t recommend her more. Please don’t leave it like me to when you have age or issues working against you. Start young and start right. You only have one body and it needs you to look after it .. well you and Ellie, of course!!”
”Ellie is so knowledgeable about The Egoscue Method and it just works!
If you are experiencing nagging pain or just feeling off when doing your daily activities, I highly recommend seeking out Ellie’s help.
She walks you through what she sees and it makes so much sense as you talk about how you feel. It really is such a small time commitment overall to feel such significant improvement! I spend 30-45 minutes in the morning on my exercises and usually go through the entire day pain free. I don’t have to worry about rationing my time spent on activities I love. I also have learned several moves that work for specific discomfort or pain I may be having and can do these in just a few minutes if needed or if I am running out the door. In addition, several of the moves I can do during a commercial break whilst watching TV at night or whilst I just stand in the kitchen/at work.
I can’t say enough good things about what Ellie is able to guide you through for your body.”
