Poor Posture

Over time, the stress of poor posture and unbalanced motion results in muscle imbalance and joint wear. This begins a vicious cycle of more unbalanced motion and further joint breakdown.

Chronic poor posture results in constant muscle and joint stress. In physiotherapy, one is taught to stretch the overused muscles and to strengthen the neglected, weak muscles. Over time, new muscle patterns will eliminate pain and provide lubricated and strong joints. If you have poor posture, tight muscles and associated aches and pain, see your physiotherapist.
