Dr. Esther Gokhale G

About

Esther Gokhale (go-clay) graduated from Princeton with a degree in Biochemistry and earned her C.A. from the San Francisco College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. After personal struggles with back pain, unsuccessful back surgery, and a dismal prognosis, she began what would become a lifelong dedication to understanding and addressing the root causes of pain. After a five-year study and certification in Aplomb®, a French movement re-education technique, Esther traveled to Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America to study posture and movement in populations with a low incidence of back pain. She continued her academic studies, taking courses in anatomy and anthropology at Stanford. Her education, training, and research enabled her to develop a unique, systematic method of restoring pain-free posture and movement, which is taught at the Palo Alto center. Her technique is detailed in her bestselling book, '8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back'. The Gokhale Method® is now taught worldwide.
