Futureproof your body and relieve chronic pain resulting from
sitting, slouching, and other bad lifestyle habits with this
easy-to-perform set of daily stretching and exercise routines -
from an innovative physical therapist who coaches dozens of
celebrity clients. What if we could easily acquire long-lasting
protection for our bodies and escape the chronic pain caused by our
sit-all-the-time, slouch-too-much lifestyles? Vinh Pham is a
world-class physical therapist - a member of a new breed that
dissects how people really move. He has worked with a broad range
of clients, from Olympians to NBA stars to Mixed martial
arts-fighters to Golden Globe and Grammy Award-winning artists.
Early in his career, he discovered a disappointing truth: most of
his patients came to him already in pain. They had poor, deeply
ingrained lifestyle habits that misaligned their joints and
tightened their muscles. And the recent epidemic of prolonged
sitting - which represents an all-day assault on the body - has
only made things worse. If you're sitting for more than 30 minutes
at a time without getting up, you may be heading toward a world of
hurt. Vinh's answer to the host of muscle maladies that ails us has
been a revolutionary concept: why not future proof? Instead of
reacting to chronic pain after it flares up, what if we focused on
a movement discipline that not only prevents injuries but leads to
longer lives, healthier bodies, and a clearer mind? Sit Up Straight
outlines a process that starts with a daily posture hygiene
regimen. Performed correctly, these exercises will lock in
protection for the rest of the day. But Vinh goes further. He
provides stretching and exercise routines for many of the specific
ailments that affect us - from hamstring pulls to sciatica to
rotator cuff problems - and, best of all, he offers a series of
customised movements based on age, gender and the kind of work we
perform. A precise and simple toolkit for tweaking the way we move
(or refuse to move), Sit Up Straight shows that the solution to
becoming pain-free is easier than we think.

Pilates is a particularly safe and effective exercise system which
aims to strengthen the body in a balanced way by specifically
improving the function of the weaker muscle groups. Emphasis is
placed on strengthening the muscles of the trunk so that support of
the spine increases plus posture and shape improve. The exercises
enhance overall flexibility and fitness, improving co-ordination
and balance. Muscles are gently stretched and lengthened as the
exercises progress and overall body strength improves.
