People with problem movement issues repeatedly ask,

"What can I do to have better balance, stop falling and walk better?"

To this question, they are often given a good deal of advice, but frequently little of it is useful to them. This is because they do not understand how to apply and use much of what they're being told. Naturally, our movements simply work. Each day with minimal effort and without thought, we use them, but most everyone has little or no understanding of how their body makes them happen. That's okay: Because not knowing doesn't matter when our easy movements continue to naturally work as we expect them to. However, when a person's natural movement ability begins to fade away, it matters a great deal that they do not understand how their body creates natural movement.

Our collective "not knowing how our movements work" creates a dilemma for those with problem movements, and for those attempting to help them. The big issue is this: To realize how to correct the unnatural (problem) movements many people develop, we first need to have a practical understanding of how our body works to create natural movements. Why? To fix something that is not working as designed, you first need to know how it works when it is

functioning properly, so you know what to fix. Thus, not knowing how our natural movements work is the reason many people with problems and unnatural movements do not receive the help they require.

Fortunately, though, while working to correct his increasingly problematic movements, Dr. Clouse gained an understanding of the physical cause that made his movements worse. Ultimately, with improving clarity and better application of basic principles, his problem movements returned to more natural

movements. This was strikingly significant and contradicted the accepted understanding that problem movements due to numerous causes and neurodegenerative disorders could not be changed.

Applying his expertise, for a decade, he traveled the World helping individuals suffering with problematic movements and movement impairments. The repetitive positive results proved the effectiveness of his methods. Of note, most of the people he worked with had a neurodegenerative disorder, while others had different causes for their problem movements. These significant findings revealed that this information needs to be shared with everyone. This led him to author this book on the natural mechanics of our body regarding posture and movement. Throughout its detailed chapters, he explains the practical mechanics for both natural and unnatural occurring movements, using many of the individuals he worked with as examples.
