Posturedelic therapy is a unique approach that combines posture therapy with psychedelics to enhance neuroplasticity and facilitate deep healing. It was created by Jon Clark, author of the #1 New Release book “Psychedelics, Chronic Pain, & the Posturedelic Hypothesis.”

This technique aims to provide new traction on chronic pain and treatment-resistant conditions by leveraging the mind-body connection and fostering lasting physical and psychological improvements by triggering updates to body schema models in the brain.

Posturedelic Therapy is one component of our Spiritual-Bio-Psycho-Social Model of Pain Management.

Body schema models are the mental representations your brain creates to understand and control the position and movement of your body. In Posturedelic therapy, these models are crucial as they influence how you perceive and respond to physical sensations and movements.

The therapy aims to update and improve these models by combining posture therapy with psychedelics, which enhance neuroplasticity. By reprogramming these models, Posturedelic therapy can help alleviate chronic pain, improve mobility, and address deep-seated physical and emotional issues.

When performed under the care of our retreat staff, including Posturedelic Facilitators, Doctors, nurses, and our highly experienced shaman Nirvana, Posturedelic Therapy is extremely safe.

These plant medicines, while powerful, are noted for their incredible safety records and lack of evidence for fatal overdose or addiction being a risk.

Posture Therapy is another extremely safe modality when practiced under the guidance of a professional.

Posture therapy is a treatment approach focused on correcting posture deviations, addressing joint dysfunctions, and eliminating compensations that the body develops over time.

By using specific exercises and techniques, posture therapy aims to realign the body, restore proper joint function, and reduce the compensatory movements that can lead to pain and injury.

This holistic approach helps improve overall body mechanics, enhance mobility, and alleviate chronic pain, even in the absence of psychedelics. It just takes longer without them.

Adding psychedelics to intelligently planned corrective exercises can significantly enhance the effectiveness of posture therapy.

Think of it this way: posture therapy chips away at body schema models over time, like sculpting granite. It requires consistent effort to gradually reshape and improve your body’s alignment and function.

However, when psychedelics are introduced, they make your body schema models pliable like clay. This heightened neuroplasticity allows for quicker and more profound adjustments to your body’s internal representations, accelerating the healing process and enabling deeper, more lasting changes.

There are plenty of other benefits too.

Posturedelic therapy was born from Jon Clark's personal battle with chronic pain.

Once disabled and confined to a wheelchair after breaking his back as a teenager, Clark discovered posture therapy 16 years later, which helped him significantly. However, his pain persisted until he combined posture exercises with psilocybin, leading to breakthrough improvements.

This experience inspired him to create Posturedelic therapy, a technique that leverages the neuroplasticity-enhancing effects of psychedelics to rapidly alter body schema models and improve form and function, providing new hope for those with treatment-resistant chronic pain.
