It focuses on a series of gentle stretches and exercises to correct misalignments in the musculoskeletal system of the body. I met Roxanne as part of an overall wellness assessment I had at Prestige Fitness in Tucson. I walked in thinking I was fine other than a little shoulder pain but quickly realized that my posture had really gotten out of alignment.    Egoscue is a postural therapy designed to eliminate chronic pain without drugs or surgery.

This is a conversation with Roxanne and it's about why posture alignment is important, how we fall out of alignment and how we can heal naturally using the Egoscue Method.   Connect With Roxanne Harley Online: Egoscue - Prestige Fitness AZ
