Postural & Corrective Body Alignment
The Window of your Health
Posture is a Reflection of the Health of Your Spine
It's estimated that 90% of the population has a posture profile of the head being in front of the shoulders. This doesn't make it "normal," just prevalent.
But there is much more to this than not looking your best. If a person maintains this posture for a long period, months or years, the following can occur:
Head Moves Forward
Shoulders Become Rounded
Arms Rotate Inward
Chest cavity compresses
A Dowager's hump can develop
It’s estimated that for every inch the head moves forward, an additional 15-30 pounds of tension is placed on the cervical muscles. This can also lead to:
Joint dysfunctions
Diminished joint range of motion
Accelerated arthritic changes in the joints
Additional stress on spinal disks
Optimal posture allows us to function most efficiently.
In correct posture (side view),a line, similar to a plumb line used in building, dropped from the level of your ear will fall straight to your shoulder, through the middle of your pelvis, knees and feet.
Your head, trunk, pelvis and knees are “stacked”, one on top of the other.
Deviations or muscles out of balance from this positioning can have negative consequences on your health and well-being.
Muscle Changes
Muscles can become weak when held in a shortened state. This can happen due to prolonged poor posture.
Muscles that are stretched and held in that position for prolonged periods develop “stretch-weakness.
”No matter how you work or play, posture affects your overall performance."
Early Detection & Correction
Finding poor posture results early means a greater chance of correction. Poor posture does not have to be a lifetime curse.
