Esther Gokhale

I previously had posted a glowing review of this book here. 9 months and a fair bit of research/trial-and-error later, my feelings have changed quite a bit. The "what do native groups do" approach to posture seems appealing, but at least in my case, it didn't help any. In fact, after months of trying to ensure that my pelvic tilt was correct while sitting, in line with what I read in the book, I stopped trying and went back to my old natural posture. Lo and behold, my back felt better in that position! For me, my problems weren't caused by, or corrected by, posture (or walking technique, etc.).
I've had far greater success by using trigger point therapy. From what I've read, probably 80% (or even more) of the cases of low back pain are caused by trigger points, which this book won't really help with at all. For anyone with a low back pain problem, I'd suggest doing research on trigger points and myofascial pain.… (más)
