The founder of the abc® posturo-logical method.

Dr. Gian Pietro Mainardi

My desire is to bring patients and therapists to a deep awareness of natural posture and any asymmetries present, in a dynamic view of posture.

As a training I am a Physiotherapist, Osteopath with a Master’s degree in Manual Therapy and a Master’s degree in Posturology. In 2016, I decided to bring my entire career as a therapist together in one direction with the goal of offering patients a path to rapid and effective improvement: the ABC® Posturo-Logical Method.

The idea I had behind the ABC® Posturo-Logical Method is that there is no point in treating the symptom, but we need to understand what is preventing the body from being well, that is, from functioning according to the principles of tensegrity. This is also the principle behind the medical device I designed: FixSit®, the world’s first system that can modify and correct sitting posture through a revolutionary orthosis.

When it comes to back pain, I want to dispel a myth: back pain is NOT dependent on the back.

ABC® Posturo-Logical Method training courses are aimed at health professionals, manual therapists and health professionals and are currently held throughout Italy, as well as abroad, in China-particularly Taiwan where there is a major FixSit® dealer, India, Canada, Mexico and Switzerland.
