8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back: Natural Posture Solutions for Pain in the Back, Neck, Shoulder, Hip, Knee, and Foot (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780979303630)

Esther Gokhale's global bestseller turns back pain treatment on its head. The Gokhale Method is based on the shared movement patterns of toddlers the world over, people in cultures with very low incidences of back pain, and our ancestors. By rethinking conventional ideas of what a healthy spine looks like, Gokhale provides a new paradigm for back pain treatment. In this book, Gokhale turns her training in science at Harvard and Princeton Universities to providing logical, evidence-based techniques to restore the spinal alignment and pain-free movement the human body was designed for. With 1500 color photographs and diagrams, this book provides step-by-step guidance to sitting, bending, sleeping, and more, in ways that protect and strengthen the body rather than wearing and tearing it. Gokhale has taught her method at Google, IDEO, and Facebook, presented at conferences including TEDx(Stanford), consulted for the San Francisco 49ers, and conducted workshops for physician groups at Stanford, Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, PAMF, and UCSF. In 2013, The New York Times gave Gokhale the title " The Posture Guru of Silicon Valley."
