Full Bio & Programs

Positional Therapy is a cutting-edge program for recovery from chronic pain that can be used for self-healing and with family, friends, and clients. Through simple hands-on techniques, the body’s habitual holding pattern in a particular area is released. Results are immediate and often permanent, and the techniques are gentle and easily learned. Clients have described the outcome as “magical.”
Taught by Lee Albert, a much-sought-after Kripalu Healing Arts therapist, this training combines strain-counterstrain, muscle energy technique, stretching, and home care to eliminate the causes of most neuromuscular pain patterns. These methods include body positions and movements that effectively treat pain caused by injury, stress, repetitive motion, postural distortion, and chronic neuromuscular conditions. You will learn to
- Recognize neuromuscular pain patterns
- Work more effectively with joints
- Release tendons
- Take your practice to a whole new level.
In addition, you will receive a new training manual with photos of each position and an intake form and suggested homework sheet that you can photocopy for use in your practice. Lee’s teaching expertise and unique approach to dealing with chronic pain make this a program you don’t want to miss.
