ELDOA
What Is ELDOA?
Developed by osteopath Dr. Guy Voyer, ELDOA is a system of specific postural positions designed to create axial length and improve joint relationships within the spine and body.
Each posture targets a specific joint or spinal segment and is performed with precision, breath control, and active muscular engagement.
ELDOA is not passive stretching. It is an intentional, effort-based method that emphasizes posture, tension management, and structural awareness.
How ELDOA Is Used
Within the Joint Care System, ELDOA is used to:
Support axial length and joint space
Reduce excessive compressive movement strategies
Improve postural awareness and control
Prepare the body for more efficient movement integration
Who ELDOA Is Appropriate For
ELDOA is commonly used by:
Athletes seeking improved spinal control and resilience
Active adults experiencing stiffness or restricted spinal movement
Individuals exposed to repetitive compression from training or prolonged sitting
Those looking to improve posture, awareness, and structural integrity
What to Expect in a Session
ELDOA sessions involve guided postural positions performed with precision and alignment.
You will learn how to maintain specific positions while managing tension, breath, and awareness. Positions can feel demanding, but are scaled to your current capacity and experience level.
Many clients report feeling lighter, taller, or more organized following sessions — especially when ELDOA is integrated with movement-based work.

Frequently Answer Questions
-
ELDOA may resemble certain postures, but it is far more specific. Each position is designed to target a particular joint or spinal segment, making it a precise, therapeutic method rather than a general movement practice.
-
No. ELDOA meets you where you are. Over time, it naturally improves mobility, posture, and body awareness without requiring advanced flexibility.
-
ELDOA should not cause sharp pain. You may feel muscular engagement or mild intensity as your body adapts, but exercises are always adjusted to your condition to ensure safety and effectiveness.
