About this title

Synopsis

Learn to release tight muscles, reduce pain and improve posture with gentle somatic movement.

Whether your goal is to manage the aches and pains of daily life, to improve your posture after hunching over a desk all week, or to keep up with the grandkids, this empowering system is designed to help you move well through life and keep doing the activities you love to do for as long as possible.

In this book you’ll learn:

a brain-body movement system to address underlying patterns and habits of muscular holding
why muscles can become tight and stay tight and why stretching doesn’t always create lasting change for tight muscles (so what’s the alternative?)
how to offset common postural patterns like ‘tech neck,’ rounded shoulders or a tight back with a series of gentle floor-based movements
movements alongside a developmental perspective, linking the phases of our early sensory-motor development and corresponding life themes
a complete movement toolkit that you can keep exploring.

Shared from the author and practitioner’s own experience, this is the book for when you’ve tried all the therapies and are still searching – and ideally before you have to try all the therapies!

You don’t need to wait to be in pain.
Start learning the smart muscles, smart brain way today.

This book is written in Australian English style and as such some words like, 'centre,' 'ageing,' 'practice/practise' may appear differently to American style spelling.
