Correcting Alignment for Functional Posture.
Postural Re-education and Posture Treatment focus on correcting poor posture habits and restoring the body’s natural alignment to reduce pain, prevent injury, and improve movement efficiency. This therapy involves assessing a person’s posture and identifying imbalances or muscle weaknesses that may contribute to discomfort, especially in the neck, shoulders, back, and hips.
Treatment includes exercises to strengthen weak muscles, stretch tight ones, and retrain the body to maintain proper posture during daily activities. Techniques such as manual therapy, ergonomic education, and movement correction are also used. Postural re-education is especially helpful for individuals with desk jobs, chronic back or neck pain, and those recovering from injuries related to poor body mechanics.
The goal is to develop long-term awareness and control over body positioning for improved comfort and overall health.
