Global Posture Re-education, a method of treatment of the discords of the human body, with a corrective-preventive approach, was born of the work Philippe Souchard's Closed Field" in 1981, in France, after fifteen years of researches.

This method bases on the work with the muscular chains. The subsequent muscles of our body, of the head to the sole, (static muscles) are more tonic, rigid so that we can maintain the foot position against the force of the gravity, as well as the muscles suspensores of the shoulders, of the superior members and the muscles inspiratórios.

The continuous activity of these tonic muscles tends to shorten them, doing with that the bones in that are inserted if they move, the one that finishes causing deformities of the articulations and, carrying, of the whole corporal posture. Therefore, an alteration of the articulation of the ankle can generate disarrangements of the column, or vice-versa. Flexibilizando the muscles of this static chain, the treatment with RPG gets to align the body as a completely.

The objective of the postures done during the treatment is to brake the force of the gravity, associating the work to muscle-articulate with the corporal understanding. Through the muscular elasticity it modifies the bone structure, it recovers the spaces articulate, being avoided the blockades and the compensations that are the main causes of deviations, pains and lesions. We stimulated the Central Nervous system to assimilate that new corporal image, turning the new pattern automatic postural.

RPG provides an individual and progressive treatment, facing each complaint as possible consequence of the global posture, leaving of the verification that traumatisms, sprains and even emotional problems end being compensated by the body, being reflected in bad daily postures. The body accumulates, it memorizes and he/she adapts the those tensions in the several muscular groups. The method doesn't seek to just assist individuals to be feeling pain, but also those that want find a better balance and corporal harmony as prevention form.

Indications: - Orthopedical: plane and concave feet, knees valgos or varos, escoliose, hipercifose, lumbar and cervical hiperlordoses, pains in the column, migraine tensional, muscular shortenings. - Neurological: disk hernia, hemiparesia spastics - Reumatologics: artrose, bursitis, tendinite, fibromialgia. - Breathing: asthma and bronchitis. - Sport: prevention of lesions in the sport through the improvement of the muscular function.

The duration of a session of RPG is about one hour. The frequency of the sessions in the chronic cases is of a session a week and in the sharp cases, two sessions a week. The work is made through postures, always in a soft way and respecting the patient's limits.
