This is a brand new edition of a successful book which was one of the first to encourage movement therapists and bodyworkers to look at the postural causes of movement problems, rather than focusing treatment just on the physical symptoms. The book explains how to measure and assess posture and provides tools for doing so. The author introduces her unique perspective on body mechanics – Aston-Mechanics® – a departure from the standard model of body posture, and provides many opportunities to practice observation and analytical skills based on this paradigm.
