Behave yourself !

MOVE BETTER, THIS CAN BE LEARNED!    Remain static in front of the computer all day, cross your legs while waiting for an appointment, walk with your neck bent over your smartphone, drag a suitcase on public transport... Do these situations speak to you?    Every day, without even thinking about it, we make thousands of choices determining our movements and postures. So how can we make the best decisions for our health and well-being?    For the famous biomechanist Katy Bowman, this starts with understanding the way our body positions itself in all everyday situations: at work, during physical activities or at rest. She then offers simple exercises aimed at correcting our alignments, our postures, our grips, the mobility of our joints... Every part of our body must move, because movement is medicine.    You will discover, among other things, how… • position your head when you check your phone; • release shoulders tense from hours spent in front of the computer; • adjust your gait to protect your feet and knees; • take care of your hips by adopting new sitting positions; • learn to sleep without a pillow to relax your neck; • perfect your alignments during your yoga, Pilates or fitness sessions; • reduce knee pain so you can sit on the ground again.    A must-read book, whatever your age, health or fitness level.
