The author has developed a new approach to exercising that is grounded in his theory of the floating skeleton. The theory postulates that all of our synovial joints are hydraulically connected, and that this connection protects our joints from being overloaded. Once the connection breaks due to inflammation, or other reasons, the joints are stripped of the protective hydraulic net and a chain of pathological events is apparent. Restoring the hydraulic connection between the joints is the aim of the new system of exercises called -sanomechanics, - from the Latin sanus (healthy). This book will...

Foreword from a Clinical Biomechanist, Applied Physiologist and Prosthetist teaching graduate students in Prosthetics & Orthotics. While there are many books on Biomechanics, arguably the quintessential science of limb prosthetics, none addresses the fundamental principles in sufficient detail and depth to be practically useful to the prosthetist, rehabilitation specialist or researcher. Dr. Pitkin's monograph is an exemplary collection of theoretical principles from his research and o- ers, presented in its clinical and applied biomechanics form. The textbook provides an excellent overview...

Setting out a new approach to improving health, this volume on what the author calls `sanomechanics' aims for greater vitality and skeletal health through exercising at the same time as having an understanding of the biomechanical consequences of our activity.
