Poor Posture Treatment in Lahore

Posture can be simply defined as the way in which we hold our bodies while standing, sitting, or lying down. Posture is the attitude assumed by the body either with support during muscular inactivity, or the coordinated action of many muscles working to maintain stability. It forms an essential basis that is being adapted constantly.

Inactive Posture: Describe postures adopted during resting or sleeping, and they are more suitable for this purpose when all the essential muscular activity required to maintain life is reduced to a minimum.

Active Posture: The integrated action of many muscles is required to maintain active postures, which may be either static or dynamic.

Static posture: The body and its segments are aligned and maintained in certain positions. Examples include standing, sitting, lying, and kneeling.

Dynamic posture: The body or its segments are moving—walking, running, jumping, throwing, and lifting.

What is Poor Posture:

Poor posture is characterized by misalignment of the body, often involving slouching, rounded shoulders, and an unbalanced spine. It can lead to muscle strain, joint discomfort, and long-term musculoskeletal issues. Most people co-relate their neck and back pain with poor posture. Firstly, to better understand a poor posture, one must know what is a good posture.

Good Posture:

Good posture is a state of body in which the whole body is in balance. There is no discomfort and body is well aligned and well positioned. The structures responsible for maintaining it are muscles, fascia, bones, joints, ligaments, capsule and bursas.

Causes of Poor Posture:

  1. Sedentary life style
  2. Overuse of body structures in poor body mechanics
  3. Forward neck positions as if chin tuck out
  4. Long working hours in single positions
  5. Any injury, disease or genetical problems
  6. Fascial thickening
  7. Depression & neural excitations
  8. Muscular tightness or weakness
  9. Over mobile usage
  10. Incorrect shoe wears
  11. Slouching positions in sitting
  12. Standing on one leg
  13. Holding mobile phones between shoulder and neck

Poor Posture Common Problems

Poor posture can be bad for your health. Maintaining a posture that puts stress on a joint such as prolonged slouching or slumping over can:

 

    1. Increase pressure on the spine, making it more prone to injury and degeneration

    1. Cause neck, shoulder, and back pain

    1. Decrease flexibility

    1. Affect how well joints move

    1. Affect balance and increase risk of falling

    1. Make it harder to digest food

    1. Induce breathing disorder and affect surrounding structures including the heart and phrenic nerve

    1. In women it can lead to imbalance in the core muscle leading to incontinence and/or pelvic organ prolapse

Age-Related Postural Changes:

Ageing inevitably affects posture. The main contributing factors for postural instability are:

 

    1. Thoracic hyper kyphosis

    1. Loss of lumbar lordosis

    1. Decreased plantar arch

Examples of Faulty Posture:

 

    1. Kyphosis Posture: Rounded or hunched upper back, often associated with slouching.

    1. Lordosis Posture: Excessive inward curve of the lower back, leading to swayback.

    1. Scoliosis Posture: Sideways curvature of the spine, creating an “S” or “C” shape.

    1. Forward Head Posture: Head positioned forward, straining the neck and upper back.

    1. Military or Erect Posture: Straight and upright posture with shoulders back and chin up.

    1. Slouched Posture: Rounded shoulders and a concave upper back.

  1. Antalgic Posture: A posture adopted to avoid pain, often seen with injuries.

Posture Correction:

  1. Physiotherapy
  2. Fascial releases
  3. Relaxing stiff joints
