"Radical in its simplicity, Dr. Eric Goodman's approach to mindful movement corrects the complacent adaptations that lead to back and joint pain, and teaches us to harness the body's natural movement patterns into daily activities to make us fit, healthy, and pain free. Our sedentary lifestyle has led to an epidemic of chronic pain. By adapting to posture and movement that have us out of balance - including sitting all day at a keyboard, tilting our heads forward to look at our phones - we consistently compromise our joints, give our organs less room to function, and weaken our muscles. How we hold and live in our bodies is fundamental to our overall health, and the good news is that we all hold the key to a healthier body. Dr. Goodman's program trains the posterior muscle chain - shoulders, back, butt, and legs - shifting the burden of support away from joints and putting it back where it belongs: into large muscle groups. Filled with helpful diagrams and color photographs, True to Form shows readers how to successfully integrate these powerful movements into everyday life - from playing with the kids to washing dishes to long hours in the office - transforming ordinary physical actions into active and mindful movements that help to eliminate pain, up your game, or simply feel more energetic. How to move better, breathe better, and get back to using your body the way nature intended. Eric Goodman is the author of Foundation : redefine your core, conquer back pain, and move with confidence"--Provided by publisher.
