It should change the way you stand, sit, move and work, helping eliminate neck and back problems, allieviate stress and avoid RSI. It should help you mover better, look leaner and feel more confident. Do you suffer from backache, tiredness, stiffness in the joints, digestive problems, lack of energy, shortness of breath, onset of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury), irritability, or low self-esteem? If so, you need The Busy Body. The way that we habitually stand, sit and move can cause all the symptoms above. Few of us have the alert, easy posture we had as children. Over the years we have acquired damaging postural habits which incorporate and reinforce the strain and tension of everyday living. But because we have learnt these habits, we can unlearn them. Once you understand the problems poor posture can cause, you can use that understanding as the key to getting back in control of your busy life. Furthermore, the principles in The Busy Body can be incorporated into every day of your life. All the time you are at work you can be using the techniques in this book to make yourself feel better, fresher, more in control and more energised. The Busy Body sets out a programme for change. It is a body owner’s handbook for you to regain and maintain ease, poise and pain-free posture. About the authors: Penny Ingham trained as an Alexander Technique teacher with Don Burton and has been in private practice since 1988. She is a member of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique and has been published in its journal. Besides her work with individual pupils, many of whom are referred to her by medical practitioners, she has run courses in the Alexander Technique in Universities and colleges of Further Education and she is a visiting teacher at Cumbria Alexander Training, Kendal, helping to train Alexander teachers. She has taught in Greece and Australia and gives talks and holds workshops nationally. Penny has a special interest in applying the Alexander Technique to help those with problems arising from their work and has extensive experience as a consultant to groups and individuals in the workplace. Colin Shelbourn was born in Dorset in 1956 and moved to Cumbria in 1971. He decided to become a writer and cartoonist at the age of ten but kept being told he had to get a proper job first and therefore took a degree in psychology from the University of York to throw everybody off the scent. Then, after four years of various proper jobs (including writing space comics for DC Thompson), he became a freelance cartoonist and writer. His cartoons have since been published in Reader’s Digest, Private Eye, Saga magazine, The Times and The Independent. As a writer he specialises in books on hiking and the Lake District. He became a pupil of Penny Ingham’s in 1994 after attending one of her weekend courses in the Alexander Technique. Correcting some of the regular postural problems Colin was causing himself through using a keyboard led them to believe others might benefit from an illustrated book of postural advice and exercises, aimed specifically at busy office workers. THE BUSY BODY is the result.
