What Is ELDOA? The ELDOA method is an innovative form of exercise developed by world-renowned osteopath Dr. Guy Voyer. ELDOA exercises consist of a series of specific postures aimed at relieving pressure and increasing blood flow around particular joints or spinal segments.

My encouragement for all of us this week is to slow down and be more focused on what we are doing in the moment. It will be challenging at first, but start small and work your way up.
