#PROOF OF THE WEEK

AC just finished his 1-year Posturology program. She was diagnosed with scoliosis that year and came in with back pain. Some researchers actually see that the vestibular system could be involved in the development of scoliosis (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25430569).
It happened to be that she had a very difficult time with the Romberg test in her initial evaluation session. 12 months have passed and while we were not able to avoid a surgical procedure, her back pain had diminished progressively as the year unfolded. He hip mobility in her squat was also better as time went on.
She was recently told that her recuperation from the surgery was twice as fast as it is usually. All in all, we keep making gains!
WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION: in 6 weeks, we went from 67% of her weight on her forefeet to 59%.

CF came to the office just about a year ago with neck pains that could get so bad that she had a difficult time sleeping. It took about 8-9 months to stabilize her case where, at this point, she really only feels discomfort when she rotates her neck maximally.
BALANCE SCORE: 22 to 16 in 6 weeks.

VM is a young full-time student. This Sumer, she came in for back and knee pain. These were worse with running. As of October 30th, his back pain was no more, even if she spends many hours studying per week.
WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION: in 6 weeks, we went from 70% of her bodyweight on her forefeet to 52%.

FD works hard physically. He is 27 years old and an electrician. He starts his Posturology process at the end of April. He complains at the time of pain while he works but also in his sporting activities. 6 weeks later, he reports not having any symptoms, independently of activity. More recently, his values are only improving!
BALANCE SCORE: 27 to 2 in 6 weeks.

We had told my client EL to run on his mid foot and that it would reduce the pain in his heel when he played ball hockey. I advised him to wear a minimalist shoe and to simply not think about how he runs. The result: 0 pain! More so, he is more balanced and stable as time passes on.
WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION: in 6 weeks, we went from 61% of his bodyweight on his forefeet to 55%.
BALANCE SCORE: 14 to 10 in 6 weeks.

BB is a young at heart retired man that enjoys gardening and talking long walks with his wife on sunny afternoons. Our #1 challenge is BB is balance. You must know that, as we age, we simply become unstable. We must fight this process as best as we can in order to prevent falls. Here are his results in the last 6 weeks:
BALANCE SCORE: 85 to 64 in 6 weeks.

AB is a phenomenal tennis player. He actually started Posturology because he had abandoned playing tennis. The cause was chronic pain. In our meeting last week, he tells me it’s been many weeks now where he has no pain whatsoever, not only at rest, but also while playing tennis! Here are his most recent numbers!
WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION: in 6 weeks, he went from 75% of bodyweight on his forefeet to 53%.
BALANCE SCORE: 14 to 12 in 6 weeks.
