The Gokhale Method
A Surefire Technique for Getting Rid of Back Pain
Esther Gokhale is on a mission to help you rediscover the kinesthetic wisdom of your youth that has gotten lost in today’s computer and smartphone lifestyle. Her technique, called the Gokhale Method, is a natural posture solution to back pain that has been heralded as an extraordinary application of ancient wisdom to solve modern back problems and one of the greatest contributions ever made to nonsurgical back-pain treatment.
Despite the fact that 31 million Americans experience low-back pain at any given time and that more than 60 percent of all adolescents by age 15 have complained of back and neck pain, we’re not born with skeletal trouble. In fact, children initially have naturally good posture. (Look at your toddler pictures and you’ll see.) “Unfortunately, we’re poorly molded by misguided furniture design and modeled by inadequate or extreme examples in the media and public life,” Gokhale said.
Based on anthropological evidence from back-pain-free cultures, the Gokhale Method has helped an exceedingly diverse range of people of all ages and cultures, with clients that include Desmond Tutu, Joan Baez, Paul Erlich, Billie Jean King, most of Silicon Valley, and even conservative pundit Matt Drudge. “It’s like remembering a forgotten language that you spoke when you were two years old,” she explained.
