Publisher's Synopsis
Posture and its effect on the human body has been a subject of interest for the past two decades. An enormous volume of literature is available worldwide highlighting the facts about how to maintain proper body mechanics and prevent overloading our muscles during work. In this era of mechanization, time has become the most valuable possession of man. Working over fourteen years as a physical therapist, I have perceived that most of the pains and sufferings that my patients come up with are due to faulty postures they adopt at home or work, unknowingly. And most of them rarely gather time to attend ergonomic classes or read a book on posture. Thus, it becomes quite imperative to create awareness among the general population about leading a pain-free life by maintaining correct body alignment. In this book, I aimed to accentuate the various postural demands encountered during the everyday household chores as well as during different professional work situations. This handbook should serve as a quick reference guide on how to maintain a correct posture during a wide range of activities.
