How it works:
Global Postural Re-education, or RPG, is a method based on stretching chains of muscles, which sustain the body against gravity. Simultaneously, the method strengthens the muscles responsible for movement and locomotion. This method uses different static postures (laying down, sitting, and standing) to pull the chain of muscles, like an array of strings, through for approximately 15 to 30 minutes each. The physical therapist uses verbalization and manual contact during the static postures to avoid body compensations, release myofascial tissue, correct spine curvatures, mobilize joints, and reinforce adequate breathing.

Recent scientific studies have confirmed the existence of different types of myofascial chains, their treatments, and the benefits of static postures (RPG) to increase flexibility and strength, improve neck and lumbar pain, and enhance general health perception.
