CPEP Certification

A recent patient felt that all was okay. During posture training in the Wall Angel exercise, it dawned on him that he may be feeling okay, but he really did have work to do. That awareness helped him transition from "I'm alright if I feel no pain" to a more realistic understanding and better focus on concrete goals.

We feel that the CPEP protocols have added an additional dimension of credibility to our practice. We are very wholistic, offering more than a simple musculoskeletal approach to health care and the CPEP protocols compliment our treatments.

Patients are very active in the 10 week Posture Program we offer and find compliance easy and fun!

Patients rapidly respond, it is very organic in nature.They feel the improvement. Due to the personal examination (and assessment), the customization of protocols works very well, and are updated regularly with exam.

A male patient 48 yr of age diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis MS at age 34 began a treatment plan including the CPEP posture program with exercise ball (always with supervision). He was able to start walking (out of the wheelchair). He is now walking eyes closed 200yd very straight with minimal supervision (for safety reasons only.) He is now starting to ride a motorcycle with a sidecar in town. Changing Lives with Posture.

Many of my patients (I practice in a 55+ community) see HUGE benefits just from doing the balance training! It's great.

The exercises helped me get a 90 year old man from being an "old man hunched over a walker" to walking with minimal use of a cane. THAT is gratifying...

Patients actually like the exercises, so they welcome the time spent at our clinic, and they tell other people about it.

I personally have become more flexible, have noticeably better balance and feel like I move more fluidly.

The CPEP program is built on a strong foundation in structural integration, and every piece is a building block that complements each of the others. There are immense benefits to good posture and so many different arenas in which I have found posture exercises useful. No matter what medical field you are in, tapping into the benefits of posture education can really enrich the services you’re providing.

Everybody gets something out of it. Whether you have had an injury or no injury, whether you have an active lifestyle or prefer watching t.v., whether you work on a computer all day or are on your feet …there is something for everyone. My patients and clients who have received posture training have never given negative feedback. It makes me feel that I’ve really made a positive impact.

People are thirsty for knowledge, and medical professionals are the gatekeepers. I believe the challenges in the healthcare industry today are putting new demands on healthcare providers and providing positive motivation to share knowledge so that people understand how to take better care of themselves.

I want the people who want the world, people who really have a serious commitment and interest in making lifestyle changes. The StrongPosture posture exercises help them to realize that they have to see the world differently; what you do is part of the way you are.

Strong Posture exercises are the missing link to build the bridge to help people make that lifestyle change. The program presents an integrated way to change people’s lifestyles, habits, and help to maintain the therapies that you provide.

In addition to helping people strengthen their posture and reduce their pain, I find that the CPEP program has helped to grow and expand my business. CPEP is a stand-alone, comprehensive program that you can integrate into whatever it is you do – chiropractic, massage, physical therapy – to build your business, and it’s expandable in a number of genres.

You can go the speaker circuit route, the group exercise route, the individual one-on-one training route, health and wellness trade shows, or a combination of all the above. There are so many ways you can implement the protocols to fit however large or small your practice is.

Our practice consistently promotes and incorporates posture exercise into patients’ wellness plans. Every month, 70-90 new patients begin the posture exercise program, there are 250–350 posture exercise appointments a month.

We expect that number to grow we they continue to raise posture awareness through evaluation of posture pictures and teaching posture exercise.

We have developed quite a following in our community.

The CPEP certification has really helped me to gain knowledge and broaden the way I look at patients now, how I treat and how I speak to them – it has really given me the confidence to say this is more than just what I’m going to do for you, you need to do all these other things to improve your posture and movement.

When they begin the exercises, they’re super weak. All of a sudden, after a couple weeks combined with treatment, they’re able to do a full set of the posture exercises and feel great. Their mood changes, their pain is less, their function is better – they’re just so much happier.

The amount of time we sit in front of computers and play video games is staggering. More and more people are going to have issues with ‘hunched back’ posture. It is the epidemic of the next generation. Get as much knowledge and understanding of posture and how it relates to the kinetic chain of movement, and really be able to treat all of those things.
