One-Minute Book Review

Overcoming Poor Posture: A Systematic Approach to Refining Your Posture for Health and Performance – by Steven Low & Jarlo Ilano

We’ve previously reviewed the first-named author’s excellent “Overcoming Gravity”, and this time the gymnast-physiotherapist is back with another physio, to deliver us a guide to overcoming poor posture.

They start (after the introductory material you’d expect of any such work) with an examination of the connection between posture and pain, because let’s face it, for most people this is what’s most important.

The authors also do not expect that we live in a world whereby we can devote a lot of time to dedicated postural practice, so they also cover posture in real life, and practical steps to improve posture in the 23.5 (or more) hours per day that you’re mostly not thinking about it.

Which prompts the question: how do we make the change to our regular posture, when indeed we are mostly not thinking about it, and are not likely to start devoting most of our waking thoughts to it? So, again being mindful residents of the real world, the authors also bring us chapters on changing our habits, and redoing our programming, to overcome poor posture in an actually sustainable and thus meaningful fashion.

There are of course specific exercises to do too, but even there, advice is given on how to select those that are most relevant to you, your life, and your body.

Bottom line: if you’d like to be free from the pain caused by the consequences of poor posture, this book can help a lot!
