better than pain killers!

AS FEATURED ON
THE POSTURE MANUAL is a best-seller in Europe. Its unique approach to lower back pain, neck pain and posture correction has received great attention, especially since we all started working from home: at last, here is a book that teaches you how to fix the causes of your pain without wasting money on costly accessories!

In the posture manual, you'll learn about...

How to improve ​ergonomics at home and at work without spending much
Is this expensive seat ergonomic? Will a kneeling chair save your back? Should you replace your office chair with a gym ball? Based on the 3 Rules of Posture, I will empower you to make the best choices for your health and your bank account!

How to correct your posture, one step at a time
No, you weren't born slouched or with such a hollow back when you stand. It became your habit because nobody taught you how to correct. And now, it feels difficult to change. No worries: we will fix this from your feet to your head, one step at a time!

​How to take better habits
Even with a great sitting posture, you need to stand up regularly and decompress your spine. You will discover that your day is full of micro breaks that you can use to maintain your musculoskeletal system without wasting any time or productivity. Rather, it will help you reduce fatigue and preserve your energy.

How to do safe, simple and low-cost exercises
Exercising is like brushing your teeth: it needs to become a habit. But I'm not talking about going to the gym for 1hr a day! I'm talking about exercises that last from a few seconds to two minutes. You'll learn them all in THE POSTURE MANUAL and its readers-only videos. 

no, it's not too late for you...

All my clients started out thinking that it's too late for them; no, it's not. In the Scandinavian method of Mensendieck posture therapy, we have a golden rule: whatever be your health, you'll feel better if you use your body well than if you use it wrongly.

Plus, I have designed a simple yet universal framework that I teach to all my clients, called the 3 Rules of Posture. If you learn the Rules, you will be able to apply them in every daily situation. My job: teach you how to stop pouring oil on the fire! 

Finally, I wrote the book to make your posture correction journey easy, practical and progressive. Every week, you will just have to focus on one goal and one exercise: this is the "salami technique", used for by most effective coaches! ​

"A book that should be reimbursed by the social security system"

"An information goldmine"

"The Bible against back pain"

"An incredible book"

the posture manual is endorsed by

Medical doctors and physical therapists
The foreword of the French edition was written by two experienced medical doctors (Dr Blaise Rutschmann and Dr Christophe Perruchoud), who are renowned pain specialists in Switzerland and the world. After publication, physiotherapists and osteopaths asked me to train them in posture therapy. Why? Because they know that patient empowerment is the key to avoiding risky surgery!

Media and the press
The book has also been referenced 40+ times in the French and Swiss media (incl. physiotherapy journals). Journalists are unanimous: they had never read anything like this yet - logical, precise and effective at the same time. For them, THE POSTURE MANUAL was an eye opener on how much can still be done against back and neck pain.

The most famous companies
Maybe you still doubt. Well then, have a look at some of the 100+ companies that trust me to train their employees and improve their ergonomics! All these companies work across different sectors, yet they all learned the same 3 Rules of Posture: if they apply to their thousands of employees, you can be sure that they apply to you too!

Foreword to the French edition

BY DR. BLAISE RUTSCHMANN AND DR. CHRISTOPHE PERRUCHOUD
FOUNDERS OF THE PAIN CLINIC (MEYRIN, SWITZERLAND)
Dr Rutschmann
Dr Perruchoud
"The reality is obvious: musculoskeletal disorders are omnipresent. And, to put it another way, who has never had pain, especially in the back? [...]

If the origin of back pain often remains difficult to objectify, their reality is a fact. To designate on the basis of multiple complementary examinations the place, the joint or the disc at the origin of the pains remains an ink bottle, with multiple traps. Indeed, apart from well-defined and well-known syndromes, the results of complementary radio examinations (xray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations, for example) are often ambiguous, difficult to correlate with the patient's clinical examination and do not necessarily make it possible to definitively orient treatments. 

Moreover, drug treatments, physiotherapy, potential infiltration in specialized centers or surgical management, minimally or maximally invasive, are reserved for specific cases. 

This is where Olivier Girard's book takes on its full meaning. It is clearly established that the patient is today at the center of his treatment. Recent major medical publications confirm this (reference: The Lancet, Vol. 391, No. 10137, published: March 21, 2018, series of three articles).

This in no way contradicts the medical care provided by a primary care physician, a specialist or a center dedicated to the treatment of rheumatological, neurological, orthopedic or chronic pain conditions. Multidisciplinary care is not just a fad, it must become a matter of course. But without the patient's participation, without his active involvement, everything is much more difficult. The analysis of posture, of imbalances of the spine in the three planes of space is a discipline in full expansion, as much on the ergonomic level as on the orthopedic level. Olivier Girard's book is therefore very timely [...]. Posture is always built from bottom to top (isn't that logical?), the neck should always be as relaxed as possible, whether you are driving, pregnant, sitting or sitting down, at work or on public transport.  

Back pain is not a fatality. In primary prevention of their occurrence, in secondary prevention after a first or multiple episodes, there is always time to consider changes, clearly motivated and outlined as suggested in the book you have in your hands. Since each person is the best asset in his or her own care, it is time to start reading it, which we know will be enjoyable, and which we hope will allow you, thanks to the teaching of a great professional, to obtain quick and above all lasting results."
