Método Pilar Domínguez. Técnica revolucionaria de corrección postural. RBA Libros, 2007.
Published by · RBA Libros · 2007
En 2007, RBA Libros publicó Método Pilar Domínguez. Técnica revolucionaria de corrección postural, una obra que acercó al público los principios y la práctica del Method.
Literary agent Carmen Balcells’s involvement was key to making its publication possible. Her backing, and RBA’s edition, marked a milestone in our story: setting down in the pages of a book our own way of understanding movement, postural education and caring for the body.

Professional recognition · Coaching and mindfulness · 2023
Mireia Poch Gaudier y María José Pérez Serrano dedican un apartado propio al Pilar Domínguez Method en su libro Prácticas de coaching y mindfulness para el autoconocimiento, fruto de años de experiencia acompañando a profesionales de distintos sectores.
On page 97, the authors highlight its scientific evidence and the way it brings together therapeutic exercise, postural correction and body awareness, until everyday movement becomes a practice of mindfulness.
«The Pilar Domínguez Method® has scientific evidence behind it and is a method of therapeutic exercise and postural correction that brings the body intelligence needed…»
