“Text Neck” or “Tech Neck” affects all of us, and the health issues associated with the many hours we spend on our devices can create long-term harm.  Experts say that poor posture can reduce lung capacity by as much as 30%, and can also be linked to headaches, neurological issues, depression and heart disease.

In this workshop we will explore ways to increase postural awareness, myofascial stretches for the neck, shoulders and thoracic spine as well as specific ELDOA™ postures to create more space and improve disc health in these areas.

ELDOA™ Method is a therapeutic practice that was created by French Osteopathe Guy Voyer. By learning and practicing ELDOA, you will improve disc health as well as the strength and flexibility of your intrinsic spinal muscles. This practice promotes independence, and you will gain the tools to gradually and safely move away from chronic pain.

 What Marla’s students are saying:

“Marla has an incredible understanding of the body as well as the generosity and intelligence to communicate her knowledge in a way that can be shared with others.”

-Lesley Telford

“Marla is a great instructor and an amazing, kind person. I attend both her yoga and Eldoa classes. I particularly like the unique stretches and posture focus Marla has for my computer neck!”

-Jeff Appelbe

“As a chiropractor, with a broken lumbar vertebra, I’m very picky about who I let treat my body or provide me with exercises. When I heard about Marla’s ELDOA in Vancouver, I had to check it out. Apparently, Tiger Woods has used this technique to help him with his spine, so it had to be valuable, right? Right. Marla is very professional, knows her functional anatomy, and is an excellent teacher. Even with my 20 years in practice, she taught this old dog some new tricks! I have already recommended a few clients to her classes, and they are getting a lot of benefits too. Great complement to chiropractic care.”

-Christian Guenette
