Posture Correction

Poor posture often arises from daily activities that place our bodies in suboptimal positions for extended periods, leading to muscle imbalances over months or years. These imbalances cause certain muscles to become shortened and tight, while their opposing muscles become lengthened and weakened. A typical example includes individuals who spend long hours seated at a desk, resulting in tight hamstrings and hip flexors (iliopsoas) that require stretching. Conversely, the muscles that remain elongated, such as the abdominals and glutes, need strengthening to maintain balance.

Without addressing these imbalances, patients may experience ongoing muscle spasms, aches, and pains. It’s not uncommon for patients to seek medical advice for muscle spasms, only to be prescribed muscle relaxants. However, such medications do not tackle the root cause of the issue, leaving the problem unresolved.
