Children's posture is an area of major concern. The author, I.Selvaraj, builds on the information provided in Dr Wilfred Barlow’s, book, The Alexander Principle, by looking at posture from an engineering perspective, in which the bones and muscles in the body are treated as parts of a mechanism, controlled by the human brain. Posture can be corrected by Yoga, The Alexander Method, and by external manipulation like massage, Chiropractics and Osteopathy. From an engineering perspective clothing, footwear and the design of seating are very important. Good posture is essential for good health and any medical research is incomplete without research on human posture. Faulty posture is a social problem. A book on Human Posture authored by I.
