Seeing the bigger picture – why I developed postural patterning

It’s been a long and satisfying process to develop the postural patterning system.

As seems to often be the case, after getting […]

Them’s the breaks

Feb 2010

It’s easy to take an everyday thing like walking for granted. I’m a 50 year old man and I take lots of things like walking, driving a car, putting my socks on and sitting comfortably on the loo as the normal state of affairs.
