Brandden has spent decades making beautiful custom harps and is still working in his 80s. When pain was interferring, especially while sitting at his computer doing business admin, it was my honour to help him work pain-free again :)

Know someone who's facing back surgery? Here's one more thing they can try before they go under the knife.

"I suffered back pain for 15 years and it had become so bad I had a consultation with a surgeon. My friend told me about the Gokhale Method. It made so much sense and has helped me immensely. I've hardly taken any pain relief since doing the course, whereas before I did the course I was taking prescription painkillers every day." --Emily Krout-Ryan

"I was desperate enough to see a neurosurgeon. At the thought of all the what-ifs that came with that, I solidered on in agony. All my hope was slipping away. My osteopath introduced me to the Gokhale Method. To be honest, I thought it was another dead end. Today I am walking, sitting, and standing pain-free. The Gokhale Method has changed my life." --Yas Smith

Emily’s story of avoiding back surgery is an inspiring read 😊

Most of us associate sitting up straight with lower back pain,

standing for long periods with foot pain,

and bending in the garden…well, inevitable pain!

But when we relearn to move the way we are meant to (the way all young kids around the world do, and the way our ancestors did)...

any position can be comfortable.

Even for extended periods.

I know it sounds too good to be true!

This is information that has been lost from our society, but is still very much intact in non-industrialized countries, where back pain is rare.

Our mission at the Gokhale Method is to make back pain rare the whole world over!

I’d like to invite you to a free workshop where I’ll share the simple, logical, and evidence-based keys to reclaiming your natural body mechanics, and overcoming pain for good.

To join me, and experience for yourself how it works, sign up for the free workshop here:

The workshop goes for 1 hour and is interactive and practical —you will learn the first basic movement to help you start using your body the way we humans are meant to -- and solving the root cause of back pain.

It takes a lot of pillows, but the comfort is worth it 📖

We often tell our students that if they master the art of bending properly, they can avoid back problems altogether. On the flip side, poor bending techniques can lead to a host of back issues. It's really that simple! While there are certainly other important techniques to learn, bending is a fundamental technique that we place a lot of emphasis on in the Gokhale Method. Once you've got the hang of it, it's a major milestone in your journey to a pain-free life!
