How Does Posture Alignment Therapy Work

How Does Posture Alignment Therapy Work

Posture Alignment Therapy works through the implementation of a corrective exercise program designed to address your specific postural needs.

Over time, poor posture, pain, inactivity, repetitive motions, poor stimulus, injuries and gravity affect our joint position creating muscular imbalances and causing joint compensations. This can come from a history of prolonged sitting, heavy computer or technology usage, shoveling, gardening, driving, lifting, bending, playing sports, or engaging in other one sided or repetitive motion activities.

 

The Blue Print for Posture Alignment Therapy

The with Posture Alignment Therapy is restoring the BLUE-PRINT DESIGN, the ideal joint position and range of motion of the ankles, knees, hips and shoulders.  Restoring these allows the pelvis and spine to move back towards their correct placement and function.

posture alignment therapyAll this hinges on identifying, addressing and unraveling muscular compensations that have caused the joints to move out of place.
Through the power of corrective exercise, the muscles must be stimulated to maintain proper length, tension and stability. When the joints are properly aligned, the body will be able to move with freedom and efficiency.  Wear and tear on your joints will be eliminated, allowing inflammation to go down, and if caught in time, cartilage will regenerate.
You’ll be able to achieve a pain free life and living where you can sit, stand, walk, run, and move better than you have in years.
Through our unique approach (identifying, addressing and correcting the ROOT CAUSE of your PAIN and LIMITATION), you can conquer existing and impending problems within the muscular, fascia and nervous systems of your body. And, because all of the systems of the body are interrelated, you may also experience relief of symptoms in the digestive, circulatory, or other organ systems.

Your menu will wake up and engage the muscles of your body and will help reposition, strengthen, stretch or create functional demand to eliminate incorrect musculoskeletal dysfunction.

Each exercise in a menu is specific to your posture deviations. The exercises are designed to facilitate normal muscle function and interaction. Muscles that are balanced work properly and provide the body with the ability to move more efficiently.  Over time, this helps bring your body back into it’s proper “blue-print” design and function.

posture alignment therapyThe 8 major load joints of the body (shoulders, hips, knees, ankles) are directly aligned, and your spine has a natural S-curve.  In this position, our body weight is evenly distributed through the spine and joints and our bodies can easily handle the impact from walking, running, jumping, standing, bending, twisting, etc.

This position also gives us proper muscle balance, strength and flexibility resulting in no spine and joint pain or degeneration.

Good posture is necessary for success in the everyday actions of life.  Adhering to a Blue-Print Design allows the body to functioning efficiently and PAIN FREE.

Check this video out we found useful from our friends over at Egoscue. A simple explanation about the benefits of good posture: breathing, fatigue, etc. Could it be any simpler…

Clipped from the 1947 animation short, Modern Guide to Health, promoting general health awareness, by the British government. But as we have learned since, proper posture will not solve problems of poor work design.
