Posture Power - by Eleanor Dalton (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Instagram's Posture Ellie shows you how listen to your body and pinpoint the source of pain before changing your alignment for an all-round healthier lifestyle.

We know that moving a lot is good for us, but how do we move well? Discover posture therapy to reclaim your vitality and create a pain-free body and mind.

Many of us spend more time than we would like with buzzing brains, constant tension or recurring sports injuries. We think good posture means sitting up straight, and we have lost the connection with our body's innate language through sedentary living.

But there is something we can do about it. Good posture is all about learning to move well, by restoring lost motion to stiff joints and weak muscles. Instagram's Posture Ellie's holistic approach helps us reach the root cause of pain, discomfort and lack of energy. Each body part affects everything else - including our minds, organs and bodily systems: the lymphatic, respiratory, circulatory, nervous systems and more.

With handy diagrams, case studies and practical exercises to do from the comfort of home, Posture Ellie shares her "hunches" and busts myths. Discover:

• why you don't need to pull your shoulders back
• why your feet don't need as much support as you think
• how muscular collapse causes aches and pains
• how a hunch crushes everything beneath it
• how to analyse your body to understand why pain presents in one area
• why declining posture isn't due to your age.

As you restore muscular function, you'll see pain and discomfort melt away, energy levels increase and sports injuries decrease. You will become more peaceful and gain a confidence as the architect of your own healing journey.

Learn to change your posture, and you will change your life.
