Meer over het boek

A manual for understanding the best way to live within the human body in a sedentary world. It contains self-help exercises and ergonomic information to help us correct unhealthy movement patterns. It teaches us how to identify the anatomical and emotional components of posture to heal chronic pain. It serves as a useful tool for chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, and their patients. Many people cause their own back and body pain due to poor daily habits of posture and movement. Many realize that their poor posture is likely the root of the problem, but they cannot change their established habits. In "The New Rules of Posture," Mary Bond addresses the topic of posture changes from the inside out. The author explains that we can learn to become aware of a new sense that will help us maintain a healthy posture, rather than trying to achieve it by training muscles until they attain an ideal form. Based on her 35 years of experience helping people improve their physical condition, Mary Bond reveals how emotional factors can lead us to adopt unhealthy postures.
