What is THE "optimal body"? The internet is flooded with people telling you what exercises to do or not to do, what posture is "bad" and what tools will relieve your pain. The messaging can get confusing and is sometimes filled with false information. It can make us believe we need to look or function a certain way.

The thing is, there is NO one-size-fits-all approach to human movement, exercise, or pain relief. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, "Doc Jen" Esquer is not out to fix people; she is here to facilitate the journey toward rebuilding trust in your body. The Optimal Body will provide specific, practical tools that will:

- Help you address your physical pain; turns out it's not as scary or "bad" as we've been taught
- Examine how adapting your body (by optimizing your breathing, targeting specific body areas, and using manual techniques) can have massive impacts on how you feel pain and even help to reduce inflammation--without adding any new supplements
- Teach you the tricks to overcoming stiffness, tightness, and recurring aches and pains
- Provide you with self-assessments and effective exercises to get you understanding your body and moving in a better way, without having to buy some special gadget or expensive tool

Doc Jen is going to cut through the BS and get real with you. The truth is that keeping it simple is better, and a regimen doesn't have to be complicated to be effective. Use this book to discover what "optimal" means within your own body to reduce pain, move better, and live longer.
