A scientist of biomechanics, Katy Bowman, M.S., is the brain behind Restorative Exercise™, a science-based system of diagnostic and prescriptive exercises, designed for the realization of optimal wellness in the general public. Restorative Exercise™ is revolutionary in its ability to restore joint function, ease or eliminate chronic pain, and correct spinal alignment.

Bowman is the director of the Ventura, California–based Restorative Exercise Institute (RExI), a multi-disciplinary wellness center 50 miles up the coast from Los Angeles. People come from all parts of the country to reverse their chronic pain conditions and avoid surgeries through wholistic training and health intervention. Bowman is the face of the Restorative Exercise™ line of therapeutic DVD kits, sold at major national and online retailers.

To implement the change in health paradigm that the public is asking for, Bowman runs training seminars and lectures for members of the health care community about proactive, biomechanical, wholistic exercise as an integral element in disease prevention. When the human machine is correctly aligned, forces within the joints are balanced, reducing chronic pain and medical conditions such as osteoporosis, female pelvic floor disorder, poor circulation and low back or knee pain.

She also teaches the Restorative Exercise Specialist™ certification training, where course alumni use their skills to improve their value as medical doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage, fitness and physical therapists; or to teach Restorative Exercise™ at the Institute.

An accomplished writer, Bowman’s expertise is frequently sought by national health magazines on topics ranging from pelvic floor disorders to best shoe choices to reversing common childhood ailments. A full length Restorative Exercise™ book is due out in 2010.

At the local level, Bowman has worked with Ventura schools to develop an alternative program to meet physical education units in junior and senior high school; and has served as a health advisor for various organizations throughout the county. Her regional fame in Southern California has made her the choice biomechanist to help celebrated individuals, from actors to professional athletes to statesmen, to correct alignment and movement for optimal wellness.
