POSTURAL CORRECTION

Postural correction physiotherapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy that focuses on improving posture to prevent or treat musculoskeletal problems caused by poor posture.

Correcting Misalignments: Physiotherapists assess the alignment of your spine and joints, identifying areas where misalignment may be causing discomfort or pain.
Strengthening Muscles: Weak muscles, especially in the core, back, and neck, often contribute to poor posture. Physiotherapists use exercises to strengthen these muscles to support a healthier posture.
Improving Flexibility: Tight muscles, particularly in the chest, hips, and shoulders, can restrict movement and contribute to poor posture. Stretching and mobility exercises help improve flexibility and allow for more natural body alignment.
Developing Postural Awareness: Patients are taught to be more aware of their posture throughout the day, especially when sitting, standing, or walking. This awareness is crucial in making lasting improvements.
Ergonomic Advice: A physiotherapist may offer advice on how to adjust workstations, seating, and daily habits to prevent poor posture from reoccurring.
