Natural posture for a pain-free back.
Pain-relief, vitality, physical ease, and strength have less to do with exercise than with how you carry yourself in everything you do.
This insight is based on over 40 years of research by French yoga teacher Nöelle Perez-Christiaens, whose quest for pain relief took her to cultures where back and joint pain were practically unknown. Thea Sawyer describes the technique Perez-Christiaens created and how it is taught in the US under the name of Balance.
This book shows you how to:
- Go about your daily activities with ease and without tension
- Relieve chronic pain without medication or time-consuming exercise
- Walk without tiring
- Improve circulation while you sleep
- Prevent injury
