Roberta trained as a physician at New York University School of Medicine. She came to the Gokhale Method through her love of dancing Argentine Tango and her desire to find answers for the musculoskeletal pain sufferers in her own family. Roberta was struck by the sound anatomical principles behind the method, and the empowerment of teaching students to heal their own bodies.

When I injured my back last fall, one of my greatest fears was that I would have to give up a favorite activity, gardening. I wasn't worried that I would have to give it up because of the injury; this, I was certain, would heal. I was afraid that I would have to give it up to prevent re-injury. My gardening includes seed-starting and planting flowers and vegetables, digging up and moving small bushes, weeding and more. I can easily be outside for several hours a day. I am constantly bending, lifting, and digging. One of the reasons that I took the Gokhale course was to learn how to do these things without hurting myself. I am happy to say that I am back to my normal rigorous routine in our back yard. Utilizing the technique of hip-hinging and engaging my inner corset, I feel that I am not only preventing injury but also strengthening muscles in my abdomen, along my spine and thighs. The Gokhale method has allowed me to resume gardening, and has actually enhanced my gardening experience.

For the first time in my life I know what it is to “stand up straight”, and am comfortable standing and sitting. Pain in my back and neck have lessened considerably. The tension in my neck and shoulders has diminished significantly and continues to improve. I can now tell when I am tensing my shoulders and immediately correct it. I can sit and work at my computer for hours without neck pain, shoulder pain or headaches. My migraines have decreased significantly. People are constantly commenting on my “amazing posture”. When I looked at pictures of me at our daughter’s wedding, my head was forward, shoulders rounded and slouched…I looked awful. This past week I was at my sister’s and she sent pictures of my visit…looking at myself was like looking at a different (and younger) person. WOW!!
