Posture Analysis and Exercise Therapy

What Is Posture?

Good posture requires a person to maintain the alignment of certain body parts. A poor posture is often acknowledged as a cause of musculoskeletal pain, joint restriction, or general discomfort.


When used in the context of therapy and rehab, for example; the term posture more precisely describes the relationships among various parts of the body, their anatomical arrangement, and how well they do or do not fit together.

Amazing . . . Making a massive difference to a very old injury.

Foot Alignment, Postural Issues, and Solutions

Comparison picture of five different ankle postures.

Our feet are the foundation of a healthy posture.

Postural issues can originate from an alteration of the shape of our feet, which ultimately have to support and maintain the rest of our body weight and balance.


Which issues could lead to a change in posture?

Our feet control the complex network of joints, muscles, tendons and ligament which make up our postural system.

A light structural modification of the arch can disrupt the posture.
