      Les problèmes morphologiques de la colonne vertébrale sont universels. Ils ne font que croître, avec les professions modernes, favorisés en particulier par la position assise et la projection de la tête en avant, lorsqu´elle s´accompagne de la nécessité de fixer visuellement son attention. On estime, à l´heure actuelle, qu´en cas de douleur vertébrale, une mauvaise posture est impliquée dans 80% des cas. S´appuyant sur les acquis de la Rééducation Posturale Globale-RPG, basés sur la rétraction des muscles à vocation particulièrement statique et sur la notion de globalité et de synergie qu´imposent les systèmes intégrés de coordination neuromusculaire contrôlant l´équilibre, cet ouvrage propose des explications logiques et étayées aux différents dysmorphismes du rachis vertébral : cypholordoses, scolioses etc. Les principes des « postures de traitement » et d´intégration proposés en constituent la conclusion naturelle. Cet ouvrage s´adresse à tous les professionnels de la santé, en particulier physiothérapeutes, confrontés quotidiennement aux pathologies vertébrales.
