“I had been suffering severe shoulder pain in my left shoulder joint for several months. I had also lost a great deal of mobility in the joint as well. For example, I could not reach out with my left hand to close a car door. I could not extend my left arm high enough to snag a parking ticket to a gated parking garage. Finally, I have been a weight lifter for over fifteen years and I could not press a 15 pound dumbbell over my head; not because it was too painful, it was, but the joint would fail and the weight would fall out of my hand. One evening after returning from the gym, the movement in my left arm was so limited that I could not raise my fork to my mouth (I am left handed).

After several months of conservative treatment, my orthopedist strongly recommended a complete shoulder joint replacement. There is considerable OA in the joint. Kaylie had been my masseur for several months and as a posturest, suggested a complete regimen of posture exercises. I did not believe this would work, but I was desperate and went ahead with the treatments.

About two-thirds way through the course, I began to regain range of motion in the joint and the pain subsided. Upon completion, I had regained most of the movement in my arm and the pain was nearly gone. Even my doctor noticed that the movement in my arm seemed freer and more natural. The joint replacement surgery is indefinitely postponed. Back in the gym, I can now press 45 lb. dumbbells with relative ease.”

“Spinal Fusion. I still remember the terror I felt hearing those words from two highly regarded neurosurgeons.

I knew I had a back condition that had gotten progressively worse in the last few years but never did I think that I was at the point where fusion would be recommended. For 20+ years I’ve been dealing with back pain. Chiropractic care has helped me to manage my condition for all those years until about 4 years ago where I severely wrenched my back. While I was able to recover from that incident, I was never really able to get the constant pain and stiffness out of my back and hip.

An initial consult with an orthopedic surgeon resulted in the suggestion of some physical therapy and to lose weight. I was lax about the physical therapy but not the weight loss. I dropped 45 pounds but still had no real improvement.

When I started getting some tingling and numbness in my toes, I consulted two of the top neurosurgeons in the area and got their recommendation: spinal fusion.

That day I decided fusion was not an option for me at this time and that there had to be something else I could do for my condition (besides dropping the 20 pounds I had put back on because of my lack of exercise due to my pain and stiffness).

By total coincidence I came across Kaylie (Sanders) and the Posture Alignment Therapy program.

Initially I was a bit skeptical about the program but I did have an open mind.

Through the course of the program I was constantly amazed at the results. The constant pain receded; the tingling in my feet subsided; my flexibility and range of motion increased and the improvement in my posture was noticed by everyone.

My back pain and posture have improved so greatly that I am now able to do Crossfit without fear for my back. In fact I am now in the best shape of my life. I am stronger and fitter than even when I was playing college football – I’ve even managed to quit smoking. And it wouldn’t have been possible without Kaylie and PAT.

It seemed a bit silly to me (and still does) that a bunch of exercises and some stretching have so profoundly changed my physical condition for the better but I see and feel the results every day.

I’d also like to say that I couldn’t have asked for a better person than Kaylie to guide me through this transformation. Her genuine concern for my well-being is refreshing and comforting and she made this whole process fun and enjoyable.

Kaylie’s massages were also a crucial component of my transformation and as to her skill as a masseuse I’ll just quote a friend of mine’s reaction after her first massage from Kaylie: “Amazing!””

“I highly recommend Kaylie (Sanders)! I was searching for an alternative approach to health and wellness and stumbled upon Kaylie (Sanders) and Posture Alignment Therapy.

I was suffering from chronic pain and fatigue and was tired of the temporary relief from Advil and Aleve for the aches, pains, soreness, headaches, etc.

I requested an appointment and received a prompt reply. I was very nervous the 1st time I met with Kaylie because I am very uncomfortable admitting physical limitations and articulating the source of pain and discomfort.

Kaylie put me immediately at ease! We talked about my concerns and what my expectations were with the posture alignment therapy and what I expected from her. Kaylie not only explained the exercises she was having me do, she also explained why I was doing them, and did them herself if I was unsure or having difficulty.

After each session I felt a little better. I feel less fatigue after a long day on my feet, less stiffness in the morning after getting out of bed and improved energy throughout the day. Over the 8 sessions I noticed a difference in my posture and how I felt both physically and mentally.

There is still work to be done. This is a life style change and commitment to feeling better for the long term.

I am able to ask questions and express concerns through email and always receive a prompt response. Kaylie is professional, prompt, knowledgeable, and caring! I continue to exercise daily and look forward to my scheduled massage in a few weeks!”

“Psst. Hey. Want your body back? I’m talking about that sense of ease and comfort and confidence in your physical self— the way you felt before that rotten office chair, and your abandoned rugby career, and Manolo Ouchnik turned your gait into a network of compromises.

Kaylie Stein [Sanders]’s posture therapy will change. your. life. The program equips you with a series of workouts that re-solve your musculature and re-integrate your moving parts. I honestly did not know how much chronic back pain I was suffering, until Ms. [Sanders] *banished* it. Yes, you’ll have to help her, but she makes it so easy! Kaylie is very attentive, professional, informative, and encouraging. You’ll understand the exact purpose of each exercise, which (for me, anyway) makes it easier to execute properly.

Advil to acupuncture, tequila to tempurpedic: I’ve chased a bad back and its side effects all the way round. Some of it helps, but none of it WORKS like PAT. It’s at least a quality-of-life improvement, and quite possibly a human rights issue.

Seriously: Do you want to feel better in your body, as though everything’s working right and together? Kaylie Stein [Sanders]. Posture Therapy. That’s it.”
