Bad posture has more negative effects than we could possibly imagine. It can cause a decrease in confidence, difficulty breathing, headaches, and overall body pain. What if you could improve your posture fast and feel better but also learn to maintain good posture so you can keep feeling better? Better Posture Fast was developed by two chiropractors that have seen the negative results of posture problems up close and personal for more than twenty-five years. They’ve heard patients say, “Maybe I slept wrong” or “It just started hurting” and solved these problems by simply fixing their posture. Their patients tend to be busy people, so this book will help you zero in on the fastest route to making changes to your posture without turning it into a full-time job. Directions to the exercises are clear. Even better, the authors provide illustrations and include links to a website where you can view demonstrations or gather more information. By simply altering the way you use a phone or sit at a desk, you can change your day from one of agony to having a pain-free life. Improved posture can increase your quality of life. It’s time to stop the pain now!

Have you ever wondered how you could change how you feel with just one simple, powerful adjustment to your posture? Is there really one ancient mechanism for switching off your stress? Can you tame your tension, boost your confidence and turn up your creativity simply by adjusting your posture?The surprising answer is 'Yes. You most certainly can!' And the answers can be found in our ancient history. Humans have developed a set of hard-wired stress responses that kick in whenever we're confronted by danger. In today's busy, high-stress environment, where no one ever truly relaxes, we react to everything with varying degrees of stress. Whether the danger's real - or imaginary. Think of the cost to your health. Consider the impact of all those years of accumulated stress. Think of the increased risk of Heart disease Stroke Cancer Obesity Diabetes Insomnia Low energy Loss of libido Inflammatory diseases Depression Yes, it makes for a grim list of serious health problems but these conditions are all linked to heightened levels of long term stress. And your stress is reflected in your posture. Yet the answer to the problem is both simple and wonderfully obvious. Long ago in our ancient past, our bodies developed automatic responses to danger, responses that helped us survive threats, risks and perils. The stress response was only intended to last for a couple of minutes. We didn't develop to be stressed all the time. It's just unnatural. So, our bodies also developed the precise antidote to the stress response, the antidote that restores our minds and bodies rapidly and efficiently to optimum functioning. Using the latest research in human behavioural conditioning, The Simple Secrets to Better Posture shows you exactly how to use your own posture to turn down your stress response and free yourself from your daily burden of tension and anxiety. The techniques are perfectly described and illustrated to show you exactly how to start feeling better within a couple of minutes. Using your body's natural ability to damp down the stress response and turn up your creative thinking, it's an incredibly effective way to take control of your life. Based on the pioneering work of Dr Alexander Lowen and developed over twenty years of practical study by Greg Parry PhD, The Simple Secrets to Better Posture brings together the best techniques for powerful postural adjustment and delivers them in a superbly compact and easily understood manual of personal transformation. Successful author, broadcaster and inspirational advocate for a better way of living, Greg Parry, the founding father of The Wellness Foundation and creator of The Cognitive Empowerment Programs, brings the benefits of his insights and experience to a wider audience with this life-changing book. Imagine being able to free yourself from your stress and anxiety. Imagine how great you'll feel once you begin to breathe more easily and think more clearly. Imagine feeling energised and empowered and ready to channel your energy towards your goals and dreams. Imagine how great you'll feel when you learn to turn down your stress response and turn up your love of living. The answers are waiting for you in your copy The Simple Secrets to Better Posture.

A manual for understanding the anatomical and emotional components of posture in order to heal chronic pain • Contains self-help exercises and ergonomics information to help correct unhealthy movement patterns • Teaches how to adopt suitable posture in the modern sedentary world Many people cause their own back and body pain through their everyday bad postural and movement habits. Many sense that their poor posture is probably the root of the problem, but they are unable to change long-standing habits. In The New Rules of Posture, Mary Bond approaches postural changes from the inside out. She explains that healthy posture comes from a new sense we can learn to feel, not by training our muscles into an ideal shape. Drawing from 35 years of helping people improve their bodies, she shows how habitual movement patterns and emotional factors lead to unhealthy posture. She contends that posture is the physical action we take to orient ourselves in relation to situations, emotions, and people; in order to improve our posture, we need to examine both our physical postural traits and the self-expression that underlies the way we sit, stand, and move. The way we walk, she says, is our body’s signature. Bond identifies the key anatomical features that impact alignment, particularly in light of our modern sedentary lives, and proposes six zones that help create postural changes: the pelvic floor, the breathing muscles, the abdomen, the hands, the feet, and the head. She offers self-help exercises that enable healthy function in each zone as well as information on basic ergonomics and case histories to inspire us to think about our own habitual movements. This book is a resource for Pilates, yoga, and dance instructors as well as healthcare professionals in educating people about postural self-care so they can relieve chronic pain and enjoy all life activities with greater ease.
