Stretch. Strengthen. Breathe. The foundation of a pain-free life starts here.

Hunching all day at a keyboard, tilting our heads forward over our phones, commuting long hours, slouching on the couch our sedentary lifestyle has led to an epidemic of chronic pain. The consequences are poor postures that throw our bodies out of balance, causing the unnecessary stress and strain that compromise our joints, restrict organ function, and weaken our muscles. How we live in our bodies is fundamental to our overall wellness. The good news is that we all hold the key to a healthier body.

Dr. Eric Goodman has spent years studying human physiology and movement, and has helped people of all ages and occupations heal and correct lifelong debilitating pain. Called Foundation Training, his practical program trains the posterior chain muscles shoulders, back, butt, and legs shifting the burden of support to where it belongs: the large muscle groups.
