Global Postural Reeducation
"Global Postural Reeducation, better known as GPR, was developed by Philippe Souchard in the 1980s and involves a sequence of postures or treatment positions, including the main ones: frog on the ground with arms open; frog on the ground with arms closed; frog in the air with arms open; frog in the air with arms closed; standing against the wall; standing at the center; anterior tilt sitting; anterior tilt standing.~GPR is based on the concept of proprioception and inhibition. Souchard (2016) describes RPG as a proprioceptive method of inhibition, where proprioception refers to the body's ability to perceive its position in space, and inhibition refers to the muscle relaxation induced after intense contraction. This principle is applied through the postures and techniques used in treatment, aiming to correct postural deviations, promote one bigger conscious body, and relieve pain."
