Postural Evolution

Specialties

Postural Evolution is a massage therapy and bodywork practice serving clients in the Boulder area. Posture and physical health are often overlooked in our allopathic medical system’s approach. Not only is there a direct correlation with our posture to how we physically feel, but emotional and mental health follow by way of our postures as well. We provide clients with exceptional therapy services that help manage stress, alleviate pain, and exercise weak muscles, which can all have far-​reaching health benefits. Some of our services include manual lymph drainage, lymphedema, and visceral manipulation. Contact us today for an appointment!

History

Established in 2009.

Postural Evolution was founded in April 2009 by Gianfranco Fino. After rupturing his own ACL, Gianfranco Fino was committed to a fast and safe recovery to return to his favorite pastimes– soccer, snowboarding, and gardening. During his rehabilitation Gianfranco Fino felt that focusing solely on his knee only wasn’t his best option, but rather including other supporting body-​systems to regain total health.

After succesfully returning to his sport within 10 months following an ACL reconstruction, Gianfranco created Postural Evolution to offer an integrated holistic manual therapy approach to serve his clients. Five years later, Gianfranco has added his sister Donatella Fino CDT, LMT to Postural Evolution bringing added depth to the practice. Donatella with a Bachelors in Molecular Biology, offers a nutritional component to therapy, followed by great hands-​on bodywork.
