Posture and Back Pain Part #3

An exercise regime that is fairly new to the US but has been used a lot in Asia and Europe is the Franklin Method. This is a science based approach that uses imagery, touch and movement.

This method facilitates ease and comfort in the body and helps to maximize the body's potential for movement. It combines movement with imagery exercises, since the mind's awareness of function can improve the function. A Franklin method practitioner works with you to determine how you move. The using anatomical knowledge, imagery, and direct physical awareness the practitioner will determine the pattern that causes the pain. They will then teach you how to use the mind and the body to move the body in the way in which it was designed.
