   So far I haven’t read the book, but have scanned through it and it looks very helpful with the pictures.

   Definitely a good book on posture and a more interesting approach to the subject. I was first intrigued by watching her Google book talk on youtube. All the postures felt pretty good, with the exception of the neck alignment. It’s interesting how some of them went against what I was doing in my yoga practice. The diagrams and motions could be a bit more detailed and I wish there was a little more detail into the research she did and the biomechanics behind the postures. This is definitely true for the neck, which she doesn’t cover very thoroughly.
   
   I’m a late twenties male with back, neck, and leg pain/numbness that has inexplicably gone on for the past 1.5 years (otherwise healthy and fit). I’ve tried several different things including buying a number of books. I’d rate this as moderately helpful. To those in my position, I’d recommend giving it a try. I’d also recommend picking up one of Dr. Sarno’s books while you’re at it.

   When I started working I began to have back pain. My body was not used to sitting down for long hours facing the computer. Although I have not needed to see a doctor for these pains… I worry about the long term damage. I hear about so many people needed back pain surgeries and long term chiropractor treatments and I end up worrying. My girlfriend was the one who suggested I prevent the problem at the root and recommended this book for preventative care. This book has clear pictures and has changed the way I sit, now I no longer feel sore after work. I feel more circulation in the arms and no longer have tense shoulder pains. The great thing about the exercises in the book is that they can be done anywhere and all the time. I have begun to integrate these exercises into my daily routine. I definitely recommend this book for people like me who worries about future pain.

   I think the book is based on solid theory, but it is very difficult to explain, even with numerous pictures, the proper postures in a book. This book is based on a hands-on class. It is like reading instructions on how to ride a bicycle.
