Accurate Postural Assessments

Our posture gives an insight into the health of our spine & how our brain, nervous system & muscles are communicating and adapting to gravity & our environment. Obviously, as we get older our spine may deteriorate, but this can be minimised if we develop healthy habits before it becomes a problem.

 Our Posture Screen Assessment, is quick & easy, & produces an accurate measurement.  Your progress & improvement is tracked along the way.  For children & teenagers at risk of developing postural abnormalities, trends can be assessed & the appropriate intervention can be implemented to help prevent future concerns.

 

Good posture is simple & eloquent by design. Our body is designed to heave the head, rib cage & pelvis ideally balanced upon one another when viewed from the front & side.  If your posture is deviated from this ideal, then your spine is also deviated from the healthy position. Unfortunately, abnormal posture has been associated with the development and progression of many spinal conditions & injuries including: lower back pain, neck pain, headaches, shoulder injuries & carpal tunnel syndrome, increased muscle activity & disc injury, scoliosis, work & sports injuries to name a few.  Additionally, postural abnormalities in child & adolescent years have been recognised as one of the sources of pain syndromes & early arthritis in adulthood.  Mario utilises detailed postural analysis to accurately measure your current posture, & when combined with specific chiropractic care, will take you through the necessary system to help correct any postural related concerns.

The consequences of having poor posture

 

Did you know that poor posture contributes to many back and neck conditions? Consistently poor posture will lead to your joints and soft tissues adapting to the new “normal”, which makes correction more difficult the longer it has been going on. The consequences of poor posture include:

  • Discomfort and back pain

  • Lack of mobility and reduced flexibility

  • Repeated injuries in sport as a result of muscle imbalances or weakness

  • Stiff joints

  • Core muscle weakness leading to incontinence

  • Tight joints or muscles, especially in the chest, shoulder and hip areas
