Have you been told your back pain is just part of aging? That you’ll need to “manage” it forever with treatments, medications, or simply pushing through? What if someone could look at YOUR body—your unique history, habits, and posture patterns—and show you exactly what’s happening and how to change it? This is the power of a Gokhale Consultation: a personalized roadmap to reclaiming the pain-free movement you deserve.

I am a 45-year-old software engineer living in California. I grew up and lived in India until I was 37. In my mid-twenties I developed lower back pain and right hip pain, and I recollect having a series of MRIs and medical traction but obtaining nothing more than temporary relief. I also went for Indian massage therapy, which did effectively relieve the pain for some years.

I am a 70-year-old woman. As a young woman I was tall (5’10"), slender, and active as I would ever be raising my six children.  For the most part, my body and I had a good relationship, but over time and with the demands of my life, something problematic happened. My body began talking to me: my knee, psoas, sacrum, and lower back hurt, and I also suffered a loss of balance. I mainly saw a chiropractor but also physical therapists, massage therapists, and acupuncturists…the list is long. When you want to function and feel halfway decent, you try everything.
