Instead of being stuck in one posture, Moshe Feldenkrais had a very different idea about good posture and coined the expression “Acture.” The word “acture” expresses the idea of dynamic posture as a combination of posture and action. As human beings we need to be able to adapt our posture to different situations and to the environment we find ourselves in.
