Mary Bond. 2007.","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eNew Rules of Posture, \u003c\/em\u003eMary 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 thirty-five years of helping people improve their bodies, she shows how habitual movement patterns and emotional vfactors 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBond 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 functioning in each zone as well as information on basic ergonomics and case histories to inspire us to think about our own habitual movements. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Browse Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ 9781594771248 \/ X-Large","offer_id":42405685395538,"sku":"BOND12","price":9.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2696\/2492\/files\/4AF6184C-F2C0-49E4-BCB2-802AF58DDE82.jpg?v=1779332368","url":"https:\/\/browsebooks.com.au\/products\/new-rules-of-posture-how-to-sit-stand-and-move-in-the-modern-world-mary-bond-2007","provider":"Browse Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
