La "Reeducación Postural Global" (RPG) es un concepto elaborado y promovido desde hace más de treinta años por Philippe Souchard, quien en esta obra propone un manual completo y exhaustivo de su método, tanto desde el punto de vista de sus fundamentos como de su puesta en práctica. Este manual es el resultado de treinta años de evolución del método RPG. El autor hace un repaso de la fisiología y de la fisiopatología de la función muscular estática, y añade avances en biomecánica, fruto de su observación y estudio. El trabajo de síntesis reunido en este libro permite identificar claramente la responsabilidad de la retracción muscular en las patologías músculo-esqueléticas, ya sean morfológicas o lesiónales, y propone un tratamiento original de las disfunciones musculares. Tras una primera parte dedicada a los fundamentos fisiológicos de los músculos estáticos y los mecanismos del equilibrio, el autor expone la metodología propiamente dicha: los principios del tratamiento (alargamiento de los músculos, puesta en tensión) y las reglas de aplicación terapéutica. Al final de la obra, se exponen algunas secuencias de auto-postura preventiva, dirigidas a la propia educación del paciente. La obra está dirigida a fisioterapeutas, kinesioterapeutas y todos aquellos profesionales que aplican terapias manuales.
