Picked up after reading [b:Overcoming Poor Posture: A Systematic Approach to Refining Your Posture for Health and Performance 37487315 Overcoming Poor Posture A Systematic Approach to Refining Your Posture for Health and Performance Steven Low https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1513155186l/37487315.SY75.jpg 59098644], since I heard it was more thorough. I'd say either is a good read if you're interested.This book starts from the ground up and gives reasoning, tips, and pretty thorough explanations of how the Starretts think the optimal workstation should be, and their ideas of mobility standards plus some info on how to get there. Way more content here than in OPP, but i didn't find most of it necessary personally, and I think I generally like what OPP offers in terms of movement ‘prescriptions' a little better, though it obviously doesn't target how to change your workstation like this book does.Something I wish the book discussed: balance/wobble boards and ‘active' standing versus static standing or leaning. I'm personally buying a board to let me move around while standing, rather than just staying static, as well as an active stool for sitting/leaning better.I appreciated the guidelines, and the way that they give some info on ways of sitting that are better (though I don't believe they discuss ‘active sitting' either).
