What is the BodyFix Method®? 

The BodyFix Method® is a client-driven therapy based on yoga, Muscle Energy Techniques, Muscle Activation Techniques®, and the Egoscue Method®. The BodyFix Method® has been treating people in pain since 1997.

There are many roads to wellness, just as there are many to the truth. The BodyFix Method® was created by Bill Boland as one answer to the pain and the lack of mobility that each of us feel at some point in our lives.

Bill was one of the nation's first Clinical Exercise Specialists, an American Council on Exercise (ACE) designation. He became one of ACE's Gold Level Personal Trainers in 1997. He earned the Egoscue Method®'s Postural Alignment Specialist designation in 2002. He has treated hundreds of individuals in pain at one of New York's most highly rated medical pain management clinics before establishing his own practice in 2002. Bill is also trained in Muscle Energy Techniques and Muscle Activation Techniques®. Yoga and meditation focus has been in his life and practice since 1987. Bill's background is in biochemistry, kinesiology, competitive sports, yoga, and personal training. His own experience as an elite athlete and runner put him in the same boat as many of you --experiencing constant pain. His times got slower and his running became more difficult. After awhile, even walking became a problem.

Beryl Bender Birch, Director of Wellness at New York's Road Runners Club, once said to Bill that "exercise and sports don't make us well; yoga makes us well". She was right. Today's good fitness routines in the gym, and all good physical therapy, are based on what the yogis learned and taught over the ages. If we listen to the muscles, follow their movement or lack of it,the body will regain alignment and balance. Pain will resolve itself.

The BodyFix Method® is Bill's modern interpretation and organization of many of these principles. It borrows liberally from yoga, uses Muscle Activation Techniques® and Muscle Energy Techniques for its range of motion testing and graduated isometrics. The Method builds its client-specific exercise menus upon postural alignment therapy to return the body to real-life, restoring function and balance.

We believe we are only rehabilitation therapy with training in The Egoscue Method®, Muscle Energy Techniques, and in Muscle Activation Techniques®. Ours is not an ego-based practice; we do not believe that we have all the answers. We rely on our experience but primarily on information from you to make your therapy unique and effective.
