Take time to know your postural balance. Gain in education, only then can you take control to maintain active, healthy lifestyle.
Ever wonder why simple daily activities, fitness routines or performing your favourite sport have become challenging?
We are often plagued with:
- Restrictions of movement.
- Headaches.
- Aches and pain around the neck and shoulders.
- Inability to reach up for items.
- Not being able to scratch your back without having to reach for a pen?
- Annoying lower back pain sat at your desk, walking, running or sleeping.
- Discomfort and pain in your knees or ankles.
- Noticed any callous forming on top of your toes, heel or under your feet?
- Are your shoes considerably worn on the outer part of your heel?
- Do your feet struggle to sustain control while performing deep squats?
The human body is complex and yet very adaptive to changes in order to maintain normal motion and function. However, it to has its limitations before a breakdown!
A Postural analysis simply assesses your current musculoskeletal position. Any imbalances and predisposing factors leading to potential injuries / damage.
There is a direct relationship between our muscles and their orientation in order to maintain an upright postural balance and function.
i.e. The spinal curvature is natural and normal, but when one curvature increases, so does the other. It’s only when they come to excess that things turn ugly!
Equally the natural position, shape and order of our muscles are relevant to balance and stability. When this is achieved, we have strength and mobility.
Postural balance, function, strength, mobility and stability,
all this = Good health and well being.
Appropriate massage therapy, stretches, functional exercises will facilitate postural retraining.
Why wait until it’s too late, book a postural analysis to help you to regain your balance?
