Hi there, my name is Ryland Hesse and I'm the guy who started AtlasPostureEdmonton. I started this business for three reasons. The first is information overload of the digital era we live in. How do you know who and who not to trust ? The second is the amount of treatments offered with no target in mind by my competitors. How do you know if you need acupuncture, and osteopath or 'energetic healing' (whatever that means) ? And finally, no one else in Edmonton seems to employ postural restoration as their primary method of treatment. Don't you want chronic pain management strategies that actually work ?
At AtlasPostureEdmonton we try to keep thing simple by connecting various ideas surrounding chronic pain to postural restoration, only practicing postural restoration with clients and giving those that don't know why they hurt the necessary tools to eventually leave us and never live with chronic pain again.
