Debilitating back pain (just one of a range of common joint problems) affects 80% of adults in the UK at some point in their lives and is one of the things that can curtail your enjoyment of gardening and growing.
Research among non-industrialised populations shows that joint problems are much rarer in communities that still use their bodies in the same way that was prevalent in Europe prior to the C20th.
Find out about natural posture and enjoy trying some practical tips on embodying this principle in your everyday life. We are wonderfully designed by Nature; by changing the poor postural habits and misguided advice prevalent in our culture we can all function better and pain-free well into old age.
