About

My name is Anne Asher, and I have created Posturally! to help people become responsible for their body. My aim is to help you address with skill and self-knowledge the common aches and pains that come from daily activities, the quest for good posture, and the enhancement of all things movement.

I am a holistic health practitioner, body worker and movement therapist. I’ve spent a good many years teaching core strengthening and alignment principles to people with chronic musculoskeletal pain, and have worked with all types of people in clinics, gyms, schools and in private practice. Before I got into movement therapy, I was a clinical and sports massage therapist. In my private practice I create and teach therapeutic exercise programs, and love adapting them to specialized niches such as gardening, acting and training the trainer. I have delivered presentations on holistic body therapies to medical professionals and organizations.

I also consider myself to be a health educator (although I am not credentialed with an MPH). I have worked on tobacco education campaigns, helped developed community health education programs (mostly mental health), and coordinated several preventative health projects for an elementary school.

I am the Back and Neck Pain Guide on About.com, a New York Times web property, and a consumer reviewer for the Cochrane Back Group. I also provide expert comment on back pain and holistic therapies for the press. Past gigs include Conde Nast’s Easy Living Magazine in the U.K. (print), and The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Online.
