The Gokhale Method

[admin]

Has anyone tried this?

It uses healthy posture and movement to help you re-establish your body's structural integrity and regain a pain-free life.

You will learn to sit, sleep, stand, walk, and bend in ways that protect and strengthen your bones and muscles, in ways for which the body was designed. You will reposition and reshape your shoulders, arms, neck, torso, hips, legs, and feet the way they were designed to be. You will develop a high level of confidence in and sense of control over your well-being.

It consists of an integrated set of exercises and posture techniques designed to provide long term relief for their pain.

What you described sounds similar to the Alexander Technique.

According to Wikipedia,

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) defines the Alexander technique as an education/guidance practice to "improve posture and movement, and to use muscles efficiently."

I found the site on the Gokhale Method, and it seems to operate on a similar premise.
