Biomechanist Katy Bowman, MS, has become a leading voice for the science of wellness. The creator and talent behind the Aligned and Well(TM) DVD program, the Director of the Restorative Exercise Institute, and the creator of the Restorative Exercise(TM) DVD kits for Gaiam, Bowman's goal is to educate the public about correct exercise prescription, traditional movement, and how modern living impacts the human machine. Long before becoming a international health celebrity, Bowman opened a small studio - now a very large institute - utilizing her studies in biomechanics and kinesiology to design safe exercise programs for injured or post-rehab patients. Dedicated to the teaching the ABCs of movement, she developed a reputation for achieving unprecedented results in pain reduction, increased bone density, and improved metabolic health. She is a regular contributor and expert for national health, fitness, and wellness publications and TV segments.

"[Bowman] brings forward the problems that are seen daily, explanations of why they are occurring, and simple yet productive approaches to solutions and preventions--all to finally dispel the myth that 'feet are supposed to hurt!'" --David B. Alper, DPM, podiatrist and past president of the Massachusetts Podiatric Medical Society
