Poor posture is the posture that results from certain muscles tightening up or shortening while others lengthen and become weak which often occurs as a result of one's daily activities (Wikipedia).

What to ExpectAt your initial appointment, we will take the time to learn about you and what you hope to accomplish with us, as well as review your previous medical history. Afterwards, we conduct a thorough postural analysis to better understand the nature of your injury. To ensure an accurate postural analysis, we ask that your wear something comfortable and loose fitting to all of your appointments.
-
Have you tried physical therapy and chiropractor with no results?Do you ever find yourself rolling and kneading away at some annoying spot that just won't go away? Does your back or neck "go out every once in a while"? Most of us unnecessarily live with discomfort or pain related to repetitive motions and work habits such as forward head computer posture, trauma from physically demanding jobs or those calling for long periods of immobility. Ilana's comprehensive technique is designed to resolve chronic injuries diagnosed.
-
What is involved in a typical session?It is NOT a typical massage session. Each session uses techniques that will allow you to obtain immediate and long-lasting results in even the most challenging and complicated conditions. Sessions begin with functional assessment and may include myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, scar tissue mobilization techniques, stretching and specific client home care strengthening protocols, among others.
-
How many sessions do I need?Each massage is either 60 or 90 minutes long. How many sessions necessary can only be estimated after the first session. Everyone is different and is treated so. As an educated provider we gather as much information as we can to treat you -your history, past and present as well as Doctors reports. We communicate with your physician so we can work as a team to treat you as a whole. Ilana Spodak's therapy is designed to give you results in the quickest, most-thorough way possible.
Postural alignment therapy uses the muscles of our body through a series of individually designed techniques; repositioning, strengthening, stretching or functional exercises to treat musculoskeletal dysfunction.
​
Each exercise is specific to your posture deviations. The exercises are designed to facilitate normal muscle function and interaction. Muscles that are balanced work properly and provide the body with the ability to move more efficiently. (Some of the exercises may be similar to yoga or Pilates)
​
Problems from chronic muscle and joint aches and pains from the feet to the neck may result in premature joint breakdown
(i.e. osteoarthritis).

In order for a car to go forward properly, all of its tires need to be aligned in the same direction. In a similar manner, for your muscles to function properly, all of their fibers need to be aligned in the same direction.
