About this ebook
The purpose of this book is to explain some basic fundamental principles in relation to managing your body, spine, and posture for greater health in a very simple and easy manner. It also goes into various techniques one can do to release tightness and compression throughout the body.

- A simple five-step process for self-adjusting.
- More about one of the most important and undervalued tissues in the musculoskeletal system— the connective tissue.
- Three yoga-style stretches that anyone can do right now to help decompress the spine and prepare for a self–adjustment.
- Tools and tips that help to release muscles and connective tissues.
- Supplements for a healthier musculoskeletal system.
- How to begin retraining your musculoskeletal system for more efficient movements that provide long-term solutions to many pain problems.
