How Can We Fix Your Posture?

/ Conditions We Treat, Our Difference, Treatment / By

POSTURE:

Posture is the position that we hold our bodies while we are standing, sitting, or lying down.  To have good posture, the entire body’s systems of joints, muscles, fascia, ligaments, and tendons must be working efficiently and correctly.  With so much demand today built around computer work, sitting, or texting, we find it hard to reestablish good posture.  Most of us might not even know what good posture feels like anymore. Good posture allows us to move, breathe, and feel better.  Poor posture is a leading cause of musculoskeletal injuries and should be addressed whether you are symptomatic or not.

Different types of curvatures require individualized treatment plans.

Everyone can relate to looking down at our phones for a prolonged time. Cellphone use can place an abnormal amount of stress and compression on our spine that goes beyond our neck.  This posture creates a domino effect of dysfunctions throughout the body.
