Postural Disorders and Musculoskeletal Dysfunction
DIAGNOSIS, PREVENTION AND TREATMENT
Dr. Gill Solberg
"Posture and Movement"
is a book that connects theoretical and practical aspects of human movement
and posture. Its purpose is to expand and enrich the use of movement both
therapeutically and in regular activity for improving postural patterns in
daily functioning.
The book delves into the anatomy and kinesiology of the
Locomotor / musculo-skeletal system and reviews common pathologies and
postural disorders. In addition to offering ways to diagnose posture, it
details therapeutic applications utilizing adapted movement for special
needs. The material in the book is based on research data underpinned by
contemporary professional literature. Its clear writing style is also
illustrated by explanatory visuals.
The book is intended for instructors, therapists and
professionals in fields dealing with proper or impaired human movement
(orthopedics, physical therapy, occupational therapy, therapeutic sports,
hydrotherapy, etc.). Teachers of various movement schools and activities
(yoga, Feldenkraiz, Pilates, fitness rooms, movement for young children,
etc.) will also find answers to many of the questions that arise in their
work.
