Tiziano Pacini: BIOMECHANICAL ANTHROPOMETRIC ERGONOMIC METHOD FOR ASSESSMENT AND CORRECTION OF THE HUMAN POSTURE. It is a new Method to solve problems of the locomotor apparatus such as back pain, neck pain, headaches and much more. If standing up should be an exercise. Hereunder some verses chosen from Plato's famous work The Sophist. There is a summary but we have also enclosed the original parts for those who may wish to read them. This is useful for me, dear readers, to start talking of posture: in the fourth century B.C. Plato had started documenting it better than we may do today. He maintains that a superficial observer may think nothing is farther to walking than standing up still. A more careful observer may see that a still standing man moves continuously. Plato suggests that a body tends naturally to be compressed downwards whereas a soul tends to keep it up. This causes an invisible, yet violent tension of the muscles which sustain the body; this movement necessary to stand up tires and irritates the body more than walking.
