Pain Free Clinic of Denver offers an individualized, natural approach to pain relief by teaching you how to train your body to function as it was intended. Here, you will learn how to relieve your pain through simple exercises designed to restore correct muscle memory while removing the compensation and dysfunction causing your pain.
I know what it's like to be in chronic pain. Just a few years ago, my neck and back were in so much pain that I couldn’t wipe down the kitchen counter let alone do things I loved like running, biking, swimming and lifting. I tried everything I could to get better. After a few years of various therapies that didn’t provide measurable or permanent improvement, I read Pete Egoscue’s book Pain Free and discovered that the root of my pain was caused by dysfunctional and compensating muscles. Pete offered a simple solution: I could feel much better by performing a series of his “Ecises” on a daily basis. These would reduce pain and improve my posture!
So many of us spend a great deal of time sitting at a desk, driving a car and doing other activities… ALL with poor posture. Over time, these day-to-day activities performed by compensating and dysfunctional muscles lead to more dysfunction, more compensation and ultimately pain! The body is a unit, so once one area is compromised, other parts are impacted too. As the dysfunction multiplies, we experience chronic pain, often in places that are not the root of the pain. As Pete Egoscue says, “The site of your pain is rarely the source of your pain!”
The reason Postural Therapy works so well is because it retrains your body and your muscles to do what they were designed to do from day one. Pete Egoscue tells us “your bones do what your muscles tell them to do.” Therefore, if we replace the dysfunction with new, correct muscle memory, your posture will improve and your pain will disappear... just like it has for countless others (see our testimonials section)!

Have you tried everything to feel better but to no avail? Are you tired of painkillers and muscle relaxers?
We can get rid of your pain, off the painkillers and back to activities you once enjoyed!
Chronic pain is not only physically debilitating, but it also has a negative effect on our emotions, varying from anger to despair. I know what it's like to go through all of the emotions of chronic pain. I also know what it's like to come out from under the physical and emotional effects of chronic pain and I want to help others do the same.
Please call to set up an appointment for a FREE Postural Evaluation. Let's work together to find the root of your problem and get you on track to feeling better! In four months time, I went from being in constant pain (further aggravated by activities like sweeping a patio or wiping a counter) to working at a retail store on merchandising shifts where we transported heavy loads all over the store, slashed boxes and went up and down ladders putting heavy things on shelves…all without pain! Postural therapy will help you regain your health and enjoy a pain free life. I will teach you how to help yourself feel better so that you can go forward taking care of yourself…for life!
People in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s are saying this all the time! Pete Egoscue tells us, “Before pain comes limitation, what we often think is just aging. We used to be able to get up on a stepladder, but now we can't. And we think, 'Well, I'm getting old; I'm not supposed to be able to do that.' But we think that's normal as long as there isn't any pain. Well it's not! The limitations are what we should pay attention to first.”
Does the occasional crick in your neck, pain in your low back or knee pain limit you and slow you down? Do you blame it on age? Join the club! I hear it all the time: “Getting old is no fun!” Well, it should be fun and we don’t have to experience limitation or pain just because we work at a desk all day or love to jog and play recreational sports. If we are using the right muscles to perform the way they were designed to perform we will be able to do the things we love, or the things we have to do each day, without pain…yes, even when we’re “older”!
Call today for a FREE postural evaluation and take a step toward right motion today so that tomorrow you can still do all the things you love!
If the answer to any of these questions is "yes" then Postural Therapy is right for you. You don’t have to be in pain to reap great benefits from visiting Pain Free Clinic of Denver. Postural Therapy is proven to help athletes of all levels improve their performance. In fact, I ran my best Boulder Bolder this year due to the postural “Ecises” that helped reduce rotation and elevation in my hips and remove rotation in my knees. No shin splints either (I’d suffered from these most of my life). I wasn’t a contender for the win mind you, but it was a great race and I ran without pain during training, racing or recovery!
Call today for a FREE postural evaluation and begin the process of training your body to perform at a higher level!
Stasia Humphreys is a Postural Alignment Specialist certified by The Egoscue University. She found the Egoscue Method after two years of suffering chronic neck, back and shoulder pain. She unsuccessfully tried to alleviate her pain with acupuncture, massage, physical therapy, chiropractic work, muscle relaxers, NSAIDS and more. These therapies helped reduce the pain for short periods but weren’t long-term solutions.
Through the Egoscue Method Stasia learned the root of her pain was compensation and dysfunction throughout the body! The solution was simple and easy: “I needed to retrain my muscles to perform the functions they were designed to perform. I never thought doing such simple exercises for a short period each day could have such an incredible impact on reducing and then eliminating the chronic pain I’d endured for years. I’ve even started running again without the knee pain and shin splints I used to experience.”
Having such success with her own body, Stasia now shares her understanding of pain-free living through her specialties in postural alignment at the Pain Free Clinic of Denver.

“I like to run. In 2012 I trained for and ran my first half-marathon, and late into the training I developed tendonitis in my foot. I had never had problems before, but it was terrible and I had to take a break in my training and had serious pain towards the end of the race. I met Stasia and she introduced me to Postural Therapy. She spoke to the way our bodies should naturally line up and how small adjustments to stride, stretching and this therapy can cure most any ailment. She suggested a few exercises and routines for me, and my foot healed within weeks. I am now training for my second half marathon and have had no problems!”
“Thanks Stasia... I can run again without the pain of my plantar fasciitis. With these specific stretches, I am running 6 miles without the pain (and I walk the next day without the pain).”
“Egoscue’s Postural Therapy has helped me get my neck pain under control. I spend hours walking and standing on the golf course watching my son play golf and used to be in so much pain after. I feel stronger and looser in my low back and legs. I don’t feel hopeless about the future of my back and neck health. I even feel taller. I know that sounds weird, but it's true! Thanks to you, Stasia and Egoscue, I can live pain free. You Rock!!!!!!”
“Working with Stasia and doing the Egoscue exercises has provided me with relief from pain and given me a newfound hope that I will return to the activities I loved prior to my injury. After seeing a number of Doctors and other therapists and finding little to no relief I contacted Stasia. She is walking the journey to recovery with me and I'm appreciative of her assistance and encouragement. Before working with Stasia and Pain Free Clinic of Denver I feared there was nothing I could do to help my body heal. Now I feel much better, have hope and am looking forward to getting my life back!”
“I joined Pain Free Clinic of Denver because I have two bulging discs in my neck that impinge on nerves and cause pain in my shoulders and arms. I wanted a program that would correct any posture issues that may be contributing to my neck issues and the resulting pain. I also wanted to avoid surgery if at all possible. My experience with Pain Free Clinic has been great. Stasia is great to work with because she is knowledgeable, listens to feedback and continually evaluates the menu of exercises in order to customize the program for maximum results.I feel much better physically. The exercises have been effective at reducing the level of pain in my neck and arms. I was surprised at the level of posture misalignment I originally had. Seeing the change was very encouraging and gratifying. I feel differently mentally and emotionally because I now have hope that I can function well without surgery. I would definitely recommend this method to others. What do you have to lose?”
“I came to the Pain Free Clinic of Denver because my chiropractor recommended it. My hope was to improve my posture and to keep from going back into chronic pain. After each visit I felt better and looser! Whether I am sitting, walking or standing I am now more in tune with what my body is doing and how my posture is: is my head up, being pulled up by string? Are my shoulders pulled back or drooping forward? Stasia has helped educate me and I am now mentally thinking about what my body is doing more on a daily basis. The exercises help so much that I do them even when I'm super busy. I feel SO much better getting out of bed each day, much less achy...and I feel better throughout day...not as stiff and achy. I am surprised at how well this worked and I'm happy! I even start the day with a clearer head now! I would recommend to anyone, with or without chronic pain.”
“These comments are about my results with E-cises and the Egoscue program. As a middle-aged, somewhat overweight but active man, I have had what I considered "typical" lower back pain for years. I've been diagnosed by MRI with stenosis at L4-L5, a few months with crippling sciatica pain treated with acupressure and physical therapy, difficulty straightening up after 2- hour plane rides, and more. I am also bone-on-bone in my right knee, diagnosed by MRI as well.”
“Because my wife had been helped by Stasia and the Egoscue method I gave it a try. Stasia did an evaluation, took photos, and prescribed about 30 minutes of daily exercises specific to me. After only two weeks of doing these simple stretches and E-cises all pain in my lower back was gone. I returned regularly for a few visits while my E-cises were adjusted for different goals. After adjusting my overall posture and alignment I have also stopped wearing my 24/7 compression knee brace. My overall results are beyond any expectation I had – I currently have no pain anywhere and am now constantly aware of my posture and its effect on my well-being”
“I am 65 years old and the common sense approach of the Pain Free method appealed to me. Since seeing Stasia only three times, the discomfort in my hip and neck are gone. I had been to chiropractors for years and grateful for the relief, but I had to return 3-4 times a year for adjustments. I haven’t needed any adjustments in the past nine months. I also had a neuroma affecting the ball of my foot and greatly restricting my choices of footwear. The Podiatrist provided no help at all. My foot is now so much better, I’m buying nice looking shoes and enjoying the absence of numbness and pain in that foot.”
“Stasia was easy to work with, adapted to my schedule and provided the right balance of professional encouragement while understanding human nature as it relates to doing exercises. Her passion to help others be pain free comes from her own healing. I recommend her.”
“It may seem too good to be true, but you now know it worked for me.”
“I discovered Stasia Humphreys and her Pain Free Clinic on the Neighborhood website advertising and open house. I have had life long back problems as a result of scoliosis and am always searching for non-surgical interventions to alleviate back pain.”
“The Egoscue method, in which Stasia is trained and certified, is a series of gentle corrective exercises tailored for a person’s particular issue. The core belief is that if you improve your posture you can stop chronic pain.”
“After a free assessment, I decided to sign up for 4 sessions with Stasia and was amazed at how quickly my pain had been alleviated. Not only that, but I was able to detect significant improvement in my posture by viewing photos of myself from the first session to the second. Stasia continually worked to improve the menu of exercises to best fit my needs. If you have pain and want to try a non-surgical intervention, I would highly recommend going to the Pain Free Clinic here in Cherry Knolls Shopping Center.”
