What is posturology?
Have you ever heard of posturology? It is a discipline that studies human posture, or the position the body assumes in space. A posturologist is the specialist who evaluates and corrects any postural imbalances, which can be the root cause of numerous physical disorders.
Why is posture important?
A good posture is not just an aesthetic matter. A well-aligned body distributes weight evenly, reducing stress on joints and muscles. On the contrary, poor posture can cause:
- Muscle and joint pain: back pain, neck pain, knee pain…
- Headaches: muscle tension in the neck area can trigger headaches.
- Digestive problems: poor posture can compress internal organs.
- Chronic fatigue: incorrect posture forces muscles to work harder, increasing fatigue.
When should you see a posturologist?
- Chronic pain that doesn’t improve with traditional treatments.
- Obvious postural imbalances: misaligned shoulders, unbalanced pelvis, flat feet.
- Dizziness or balance disorders.
- Frequent headaches.
What does a posturologist do?
The posturologist, through a thorough assessment, identifies the causes of your postural disorders. Subsequently, they develop a personalized treatment plan that may include:
- Postural exercises: to strengthen muscles and improve body alignment.
- Manipulations: to correct joint dysfunctions.
- Rehabilitation: to regain mobility and muscle strength.
- Ergonomic advice: to improve posture in daily life and at the workplace.
The benefits of posturology
Consulting a posturologist can lead to numerous benefits:
- Pain reduction: thanks to postural rebalancing, many chronic pains can disappear.
- Improved mobility: proper posture increases flexibility and freedom of movement.
- Increased energy: correct posture promotes better circulation and oxygenation of tissues.
- Prevention of future pathologies: by correcting postural imbalances, many musculoskeletal disorders can be prevented.
Posturology is a discipline that addresses the person as a whole, considering not only the physical aspect but also the psychological and emotional ones. If you think that poor posture may be affecting your quality of life, don’t hesitate to consult a posturologist.
