Download or read book Natural Posture for Pain Free Living written by Kathleen Porter and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-07-22 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restoring healthy posture from childhood for relief from chronic pain, easy flexibility, and enduring strength and vitality well into old age • Offers 12 physical exercises to become mindful of your posture and discover pain-free alignment of your pelvis, rib cage, shoulders, neck, and back • Provides simple yet detailed instructions on how to sit, stand, walk, bend, get up from a chair, sit to meditate, sleep, and practice yoga with proper alignment • Includes full-color diagrams and posture photographs from around the world Our bones are the framework of support for our bodies, much like the wall studs and beams of a house. Yet the alignment of the skeleton along the vertical axis of gravity is largely overlooked today, even by fitness experts and yoga teachers. In a culture of cocked hips, sauntering models, and slouching TV watchers, where “chin up, shoulders back, stomach in” is believed to be good posture, we have forgotten what healthy alignment looks and feels like--leading to chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain for millions. Sharing photographs from around the world of “gurus” of natural posture and authentic strength, such as women in their 80s who easily carry heavy loads on their heads and toddlers learning to walk, Kathleen Porter shows what natural skeletal alignment truly looks like. With insights based on the fundamental laws of physics and detailed full-color diagrams, she guides you through an understanding of the body’s naturally pain-free design. She explains that when the body is aligned as nature intended, your weight is supported by your bones rather than your muscles, allowing a blissful release from chronic muscular tension--which you may not even be aware you had. She offers 12 physical exercises to become mindful of your posture and discover healthy alignment of your pelvis, rib cage, shoulders, neck, and your body as a whole. Providing easy-to-follow instructions for mindful alignment during the most ordinary daily activities, even sleeping, as well as a chapter on practicing yoga safely, Porter shows how returning to our forgotten alignment from childhood can offer relief from chronic pain and tension and can provide easy flexibility, enduring strength, and vitality well into old age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a fresh approach to a common problem, this self-help guide to overcoming back pain advocates adopting the natural, healthy posture of athletes, young children, and people from traditional societies the world over. Arguing that most of what our culture has taught us about posture is misguided—even unhealthy—and exploring the current epidemic of back pain, many of the commonly cited reasons for the degeneration of spinal discs and the stress on muscles that leads to back pain are examined and debunked. The historical and anthropological roots of poor posture in Western cultures are studied as is the absence of back pain complaints in the cultures of Africa, Asia, South America, and rural Europe. Eight detailed chapters provide illustrated step-by-step instructions for making simple, powerful changes to seated, standing, and sleeping positions. No special equipment or exercise is required, and effects are often immediate.

Book excerpt: Neglected postures, such as rounding your low back while sitting in front of the computer, standing for hours stooped over, sleeping improperly, and lifting poorly, can all lead to chronic back pain.In today's culture, everyone seems to be continuously plugged into an electronic device. Sedentary lifestyles result in hours spent with your body like a human question mark-head forward and shoulders rounding.Text neck has been used to describe the repetitive-use injury that occurs to your upper back, neck muscles, forearms, wrists, and hands caused by poor posture, excessive texting, and smartphone use.A typical text neck symptom is a crick in the neck and upper shoulders. This can develop from overstressing your neck muscles from excessive texting, awkward sleep positions, harshly turning your head during exercise, and clocking hours of poor posture hunched over your desk.If you have a text neck, then it's likely that you have rounded shoulders, causing your upper back muscles to overstretch and tighten the chest muscles. This posture can potentially compress the brachial plexus, leading to several problems, ranging from numbness in the hands to thoracic outlet syndrome or carpal tunnel-like symptoms.Reverse Bad Posture Exercises to the Rescue!The 21 exercises in Reverse Bad Posture Exercises are designed to fix forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and hunched back posture in just 15 minutes per day.Take Reverse Bad Posture Exercises everywhere you go, and you can feel confident that you will be able to improve your posture and prevent traumatic neck, shoulder, and back pain episodes from wreaking havoc on your life.Remember, you are the best version of yourself when you adopt good posture habits. You'll feel happier, healthier, and maybe even look 3 inches taller.This is the first book in the Reverse Your Pain series. The second book is Reverse Pain in Hips and Knees.
