What is Posture Alignment Therapy?

Do you hunch your shoulders over? Do you suffer from pain? You might need Posture Alignment Therapy. This is a revolutionary therapy that gets your spine back into the proper placement by having your body relearn how to sit comfortably.

What is Posture Alignment Therapy?

Posture Alignment Therapy is a corrective exercise program. It addresses the muscular imbalances that can cause misaligned joint positions. If you notice faulty movement patterns and pain, then you may need to look at your body as a whole. It does not matter that you only have symptoms in one area of your body. 

What to Expect From Posture Alignment Therapy?

Most often posture alignment therapy combines gentle stretches and movements. These should target the muscles that are not supporting your posture, and teach them to work again. It should also work to relieve the ones that are overworking, which is typically the cause of any pain.

  • Work one on one with an experienced Posture Alignment Specialist.

  • Gait analysis and discussion of how the load-bearing joints all align in your body.

  • Understand your line of gravity, and how this can affect your pain.

  • Exercises to learn, then take home and practice by yourself.

  • Step by step guide to better posture.

Why Do Some People Need Posture Alignment Therapy?

Your alignment is dependent on muscular balance.  Every single joint, such as your ankles, knees, hips, and shoulder, should be lined up vertically. When there is a deviation from this, your muscles will overwork themselves. This means that your body is out of balance. At some point, those muscles and joints will let you know that there is something wrong, in the form of pain. 

What is the Goal?

The goal of Posture Alignment Therapy is to gently stretch the muscles. You should learn to engage and strengthen the deeper postural muscles as well, to ensure that they function properly. This is also to ensure that your bones and joints stay in the correct alignment. When you have better alignment, your body can heal itself should it become injured. 

If this is not corrected, then you may end up causing damage altogether. Another goal is to avoid drugs and surgeries. These only provide temporary relief of symptoms. By fixing alignment issues, it can allow the body to function correctly, and allow you to live pain-free for life.  

Correcting Your Alignment is a Lifestyle

Correcting your alignment is a process. It is not an event that happens overnight. You need to change your lifestyle in order to allow your body to heal. You should expect to do therapy at least for up to six months if you wish to see lasting relief. 

Are You Ready to Take Control of Your Life?

If you experience chronic or episodic pain then you may need to do posture alignment therapy. This can provide you with responsibility for your health. It is time to get to eh underlying cause of your pain and fix it for good.
