Aaron Parnells Reposturing Dynamics

Two and ½ years ago I saw Aaron over several months and he did a great deal to improve my posture. Recently I suffered an accident and broke multiple bones. I contacted Aaron and requested that he send me information about our sessions that might help my post-​accident physical therapist. Aaron sent me very complete information about his evaluation and treatment including photos and a video with recommendations for my physical therapist. Aaron’s willingness to compile this information and share with my physical therapist shows how much he cares about the well-​being of his clients. Aaron and his staff are the best.

Aaron was amazing. In one session I can feel and see a difference in my posture. The pain and tension in my shoulders is relieved and I feel like a million bucks. He is a true professional and bursting with knowledge and enthusiasm. I felt so at ease and confident in his care. Can’t wait to go back!

Aaron is an amazingly gifted healer. I was very skeptical at first, since I have tried everything to relieve my foot, leg and hand pain that was primarily caused by chemotherapy. I’ve also got that old man slouch and take a lot of pain meds.
After just one session with the master, I feel so much better. Better energy, better posture, and a lot less pain. If these results continue it will be a miracle. Great job Aaron!

I’m only leaving a review because he emailed me asking me to. I bought the Groupon over two years ago and went for two sessions. Aaron claimed his methods didn’t work on everybody and I’m proof of that. After my first session I was in a lot of pain and was very stiff and it got even worse after my second session. When I told him, Aaron didn’t seem as concerned about the pain as he was in selling me more sessions. He told me his book was about to get published, after which he would raise his rates because he’d be in much higher demand. I still see Groupons and Unilocal discounts so that hasn’t happened. It took me two trips to my chiropractor to undo the damage he did.

Aaron truly has a gift! I purchased a groupon for 2 sessions. Aaron immediately identified my body issues and got down to work! My shoulders are rolled in and super tight due to years of surfing and paddle boarding. After the first session, I felt a noticeable difference from when I walked into his studio. My shoulders were opened up and my chest muscles relaxed. I highly recommend Aaron and his reposturing treatments. It’s worth the wait!

I sit in front of a computer most of the day which destroys my posture and gives me a stiff neck. I also have a lot of sitting induced and exercise induced tightness, my chest so tight that my shoulders hunch forward. I’ve regularly been receiving treatments from Aaron since 2011; what keeps me coming back is I can work longer without neck and back pain, my chest appears broader, and my increased flexibility has made me less injury prone in athletics.

Purchased a groupon, and after just my first session I’ve regained an inch in height and still feel the relief in my lower back, shoulders, knee and hips for which I have been receiving countless adjustments and massages to correct for years. Instead of just dealing with the effects of my poor posture, sports injuries and scoliosis, I now feel like this is something that can easily be alleviated. Aaron is very hospitable, and is a master at identifying the best program to optimize your body. The work is expensive; but highly recommended for people in pain, or athletes looking to improve performance.

3 of us have tried «reposturing» now and here are our experiences:
My brother:
The first one that tried this was my brother. He purchased 1 initial reposturing session from Groupon. My brother (35 years old) has had a lot of issue with flexibility and posture all of his life, and so does my bf, whom I call the «Tin Man». My brother has tried chiropractors (no improvement) and rolfing (some improvement) several times, but Aaron Parnell’s Reposturing has been the most effective by far, so he went forward with 5 more sessions, and has seen great results and referred both myself and the Tin Man to try it. Unfortunately, the cost has been prohibiting him from continuing more sessions. On top of that, the scheduling is difficult for people who work 9 – 5, because Aaron is booked up months in advance during Saturdays and non-​work hours (Sundays are closed). Also the location is a bit far for him to continue on a regular basis. I definitely see a difference in the way my brother carries himself now. Both because of his own awareness, and his diligence with the stretching exercises that Aaron has taught him.
My experience:
I suffer from some bad posture, but the main thing I wanted to correct were the bunions from constantly wearing heels. I’m not experiencing pain or anything but it’s definitely something I’d like to correct. There are before/​after photos on the wall showing his success with correcting that, and I was excited about the possibility of fixing my feet.
The initial session with Aaron involves measurements taken on different parts of your body as well as Aaron filming and analyzing your walk. He is very clear about what he is able to do, and also is careful to note any injuries you have. Then he does the reposturing treatment, which I liken to targeted deep stretches. He then remeasures you after so you can see the results — chest opening up wider, etc.
I haven’t seen any results on my bunions because he hasn’t worked on my feet at all. He said he has to fix other parts of my body first before he can get there.
Aaron seems to know what he’s doing and is very experienced with the human body. I also enjoy Aaron’s positivity and great overall attitude, and he also plays great music during the session. I went ahead and purchased 10 sessions. After each session, my legs felt different in my hips and I seemed to walk better. However I only went to my 2 Groupon sessions + a couple more sessions before I decided to donate the rest of my sessions to the Tin Man, because I felt like he needed it much more than I did. It is quite the investment and I’d rather it go towards someone who can see greater results. Hopefully I can afford to go more in the future, but at this point I can’t whip out close to one month’s salary to do so.
I will say that the initial process does feels sales-​y and can come off as disingenuous as he’s trying to sell you on rather pricey sessions. He makes sure to show you the before and after measurements so that you can see the improvement. He explains that the price is high because he is «the creator of Reposturing (just like Joseph Pilates is the creator of Pilates)» so it will be more expensive to go to him rather than one of his students. However, you will notice real results so that is worth it.
My bf’s experience:
The Tin Man has seen a LOT of improvements in his flexibility. So far he has gone over 10xs and is continuing more sessions. He has a long way to go still, but at least he is able to do some things that normal people take for granted — like squatting down with your heels touching the ground. Looking forward to him being able to walk normal and more upright, and really thankful to have Aaron to help.

i have always believed that being healthy and feeling good involved a healthy straight posture. I know that my posture isn’t what it should be from all the years of accumulated bad habits because I felt more tired and experienced minor backaches so I decided to give Aaron’s Reposturing Dynamics a try due to a groupon deal I had found and I’m glad I did. Otherwise I would have never known about his great techniques for repositioning postures back into its natural state.
I went in with the expectation of mainly to help promote a better posture but to also hopefully address an ongoing numbness in my hands that I experienced almost every morning. My first session with him was 1.5 hours long and was very informative. He was very attentive and addressed all the questions I had. After my consultation with him, he first worked on my neck a bit and then my torso because the fundamental of promoting good posture is to have a stable/​good foundation which made sense to me. Immediately after the first session I felt more energetic the following day but I did start to experience a lot of pain in my arm and hands. When I asked him about this he explained to me that sometimes there may be more pain for a short period after because my body is trying to heal. Sure enough after about 2 days my arms and hands didn’t hurt anymore and the numbness that I had experienced each morning went away as well. It has been about a month since I have finished my groupon sessions with him and the numbness have not come back since. I was so freaked out about why my hands were experiencing it. Thank you so much Aaron for relieving the pain and concern for me!
Keep in mind that this is not a normal massage. He incorporates stretching exercises and massaging devices to help reposition your body back to it’s natural form. Most of the positions do feel straining but it’s worth it. Although the sessions are very pricey but he really knows his stuff and genuinely helps people get better. Highly recommended and I will definitely be coming back myself.

I started seeing Aaron Parnell after purchasing a Groupon. I’ve had issues with low back pain, terrible posture, mild scoliosis, sciatica, and plantar fasciitis caused by a combination of years of cycling and a desk job. After my two Groupon treatments, my plantar fasciitis that I’ve been dealing with for years was GONE. No amount of physical therapy, stretches, and orthotics were able to relieve it previously. Seeing these results, I decided to take the plunge and go all-​in to get my pain and poor posture sorted out.
Aaron’s approach to body-​working makes total sense to me and is unlike anything I’ve experienced with the numerous physical therapists, massage therapists, doctors, chiropractors, and yoga instructors I’ve seen. His 30+ years of experience are obvious when he starts working on you. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but an amazing human being who is easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable and welcome.
I am about ¹⁄₃ of the way through with my reposturing treatments and I am already flexible in ways I’ve never been. I am a «work in progress» but I am 100% confident that by the time he’s done with me, I will be free from the evil cutches of my misshapen body and chronic pain. I am already walking more upright with a greater range of motion, and it’s clear the results will be long-​lasting if I keep up with the innovative at-​home stretches and exercises he prescribes to me.
Aaron Parnell is not selling snake oil — he is the real deal. Incredibly gifted, passionate about what he does, and results-​oriented. So far my sessions at Reposturing Dynamics have been worth every penny — you only have one body so you might as well invest in it.

I had my first session two days ago and it was absolutely amazing. I felt wonderful after I left. Aaron identified a lot of really important things about my body and how reposturing it will bring me back to balance. Something as simple as the way I walk revealed what can and should be resolved for my present and future well being. I have another session today and I’m excited for it!

Aaron Parnell’s Reposturing approach is just plain different. After a car accident three years ago, I have had severe back problems and seen a plethora of healers. These practitioners ranged from surgeons to advanced yoga instructors, and none were able to provide a long term solution to my chronic pain. Prior to seeing Aaron, I was unable to sit or stand consecutively for more than 1 hour and running was completely out of the question. He immediately recognized what my three main issues were and got right to work. It has now been 4 months and, not only do I walk completely differently, my back is stronger and better supported by my skeletal structure. This enables me to push myself physically without injury, similar to before my accident.
The treatments are expensive, however he worked with me and provided a flexible schedule of at-​home exercises and office visits to ensure I reached my goal within my budget.
If you are sick of your back constantly feeling tired and strained, or have had to give up physical exercises that you used to love, I highly recommend giving Aaron’s method a try. In fact, I have already given two of my relatives sessions with Aaron as gifts!

I’ve been seeing Aaron regularly for several years.
As a young adult I was a little under 6 feet.
After years in the software world I was down to nearly 5“10″.
Now I’m back to being just half an inch from 6 feet.
It feels pretty good to be carrying myself upright and straight again

As a lifelong athlete; one who knows the value of physical ability and mental focus, Arron Parnell has helped me maintain my body’s ability to perform. His work is deep and effective. If you are determined to improve physical agility, you have found the best posture specialist in the business.

Aaron Parnell is an amazing healer! I came to Aaron through a Groupon special my wife found while I was recovering from hip replacement surgery. I had developed an unbalanced stride, but Aaron also noticed elements of my posture that needed attention. He explained what could be accomplished and helped me understand what needed to be done. I was skeptical at first but ultimately trusted his judgement. Now I have a more efficient and balanced stride along with a more upright stance – most importantly, the pain I’ve carried for so long is going away. I have literally re-​learned how to walk under his care – something I wouldn’t have considered possible (or necessary) had I not come under his care.
Can’t say I’ve ever heard of any medical or healing art like this, Aaron uses a unique and proprietary methodology developed himself. I had been through extensive standard physical therapy prescribed after my hip operation, and recovered to sufficient ability, however it was only sufficient…
What Aaron has done for me is is nothing short of remarkable. He’s achieved a more optimal relationship between my muscular and skeletal system resulting in a better quality of life. If you have developed a poor or painful posture, stance, stride, etc – it is likely he can help you and improve your quality of life.

I met Aaron at a New Living Expo many years ago. I sampled his work at the show, bought a package of sessions before the end of the show. My posture needed experienced help… Aaron’s work was the perfect action step. I made the commitment & followed through with his sessions & exercises. Aaron’s work has made all the difference in my posture. I still use the exercises he taught me to assist my body’s posture. I highly recommend A session with Aaron Parnell. I advise a person to schedule for a 30 – 60 minute walk immediately after the session to assist your body to achieve the best possible results. Bring a jacket to keep your muscles warm on your walk.

The point: Reposturing is your body confronting its bad habits.
Reposturing relieved my neck and back pain like nothing else I have tried. Not only did it provide immediate results I could feel and see, but Aaron explains exercises and tips to enable me to maintain my gains.
Things to understand about reposturing: Like anything that truly provides long-​term improvement, this requires active commitment from the patient. It is not a passive massage or a magic pill. Sessions are often physically intense, and sometimes very challenging for your body. To clarify, reposturing can be compared to your body confronting its bad habits (slouching, movements that compensate for pain).
Recommendations: (1) If you find Aaron more expensive than you are prepared for, he has many certified students that may fit your needs better, (2) There’s often a deal online for your first session, and (3) No matter who you go to, ask about EVERYTHING they are doing & how to maintain it; you being able to keep the gains is the whole point.
Just like when confronting other bad habits, change is not easy, but it is so very, very worth it.
Hope that helps :) !

WOW! Hands down awesome!
Aaron Parnell is super amazing, Fabulous, knowledgable, friendly. and has a great love for his work. He is highly skilled and passionate about his work. I learned about Aaron from Sharon Carem who studied with him and I was wowed by her. She told me about Aaron Parnell and said that I should go see him at the vitality center in San Mateo. And I did! Yes, I experienced some exquisite pain, felt taller and more erect. This man walks the walk and talks the talk. He answered his true calling. Everyone should take advantage of this great offer. He will amaze you with his gift.

I discovered Reposturing Dynamics after purchasing a Living Social deal for two reposturing massages. I’ve had chronic neck and shoulder pain for the last two years. I’ve tried acupuncture and chiropractic in which neither offered any pain relief. With Aaron, I noticed significant pain relief after just two sessions. I’ve also noticed that my posture has improved. I’m actually standing taller instead of slouching all the time.
This is not your typical massage. It can be painful at times. The best way that I can describe it is it’s like someone is doing yoga to you. But the results are totally worth it! I just wish Aaron’s sessions were more affordable so I could go more often.

Aaron was great. I learned about this through a Groupon deal and had two appointments. Great communicator, great coach and great healer.
I had visited chiropractors before for basic posture improvement needs and pains after working in a desk job for so many years now, but it was amazing what just the initial visit was like and what a difference it made, only validated by the measurements and metrics before/​after. That is the end of the chiropractor visits.
Highly recommended — take advantage of any opportunity to have your initial visit/​appointment and see for yourself.
