Braces and Supports

Anu Lawrence • February 7, 2025

 In this video we discuss why we want to move away from braces and supports toward empowering your body to do its own job, as much as possible. 

Many clients ask about braces, arch supports, and other tools they’ve been using to help their bodies feel better. While those supports can offer short-term relief, it’s important to think about what they represent.


If your body can't function without relying on something external, then it isn't truly functioning. Needing a brace or insole just to feel stable or get through your day often means your body is compensating for an underlying issue that hasn’t been addressed.


A functional body should be able to handle daily movement and activity without needing outside help. That doesn’t mean tools are bad , they can be helpful in the short term, but long-term reliance on them is a sign that something deeper needs attention. In posture therapy, we focus on helping your body regain that function from within. 


Instead of depending on outside support, we work to
restore balance and alignment so that your body becomes strong, capable, and self-supporting. The goal is for you to feel well, stable, and active using your own strength, not something artificial.


Serving Colorado from our centrally located office in Westminster and seeing clients from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs, Denver and Boulder, we can also help globally via WebCam such as Zoom or FaceTime.
