You know how sometimes you read a book and it just rings true ? That ’ s just how I felt when I read Kathleen Porter ’ s book , Natural Posture for Pain-Free Living : The Practice of Mindful Alignment . I had been struggling with worsening back and joint pain , and had tried just about every therapy on the planet . If I was lucky I got a bit of relief that didn ’ t last ; more often I underwent a lot of pain for no gain at all . All of these therapies were treating symptoms . When I read this book I realized that here was a way to deal with the underlying cause - poor alignment and bad postural habits that led to weakening of some muscles and chronic shortening and contraction of others . It became obvious from reading this book that all the stretching and chiropractic adjustments in the world are only a temporary fix if you just go back to your old habits of sitting , walking , sleeping and bending .
