Posture Correction

Poor Posture

Poor posture is a very common cause for chronic body aches. In some cases, it can even cause severe, debilitating pain and dysfunction. Essentially, posture refers to the position of your body and the relationship between your head, trunk and limbs. When you move, your posture changes. When the body is not properly aligned, it is not supported properly, and injuries and deformity can occur. With posture correction treatment and physical therapy for posture from Denver Physical Medicine & Rehab, pain caused by poor posture can be alleviated.

Causes of Poor Posture

The causes of poor posture fall into two categories: structural and positional. Structural causes include anatomical deformities, such differences in leg length and certain foot and ankle issues. Positional causes include things like poor posture habits, natural degenerative processes, excess weight, weakness and even psychological factors like poor self-esteem. Over reliance on support from non-ergonomic furniture, loss of the ability of perceive the position of the body, pain, muscle spasms, respiratory conditions and joint hypomobility and hypermobility are also positional causes of poor posture.
