Good Posture.Analysis, correction, exercises and products to assist Correct Posture for a Healthy Back.What is a "Good Posture"? How do you know if you have the "Correct Posture"? The right posture for everyday tasks like sitting or standing?Sitting and working at your computer? How does a good posture provide Back Pain Relief - or prevent back and neck pain in the first place? There are all sorts of posture support products out there - the posture mattress, posture chair, posture kneeling chair, the posture corrective brace - but my main aim is for my clients to realise for themselves just what good posture feels like! When I meet a new client at my Physiotherapy practice, they typically undergo a posture analysis and then we look for appropriate posture correction measures for their particular condition. These "correction methods" may include posture exercises and support products as appropriate. Once posture correction has been achieved, I then help my own clients to learn how to maintain it for themselves (with the assistance of good ergonomics) - be it while standing, sitting at a desk, walking or running! The following covers many aspects of posture analysis, correction and related conditions that explain this approach further. Please feel free to explore any of the following aspects of Good Posture in more detail. A good posture gives you a sense of confidence - and has many physical benefits too.
