Common Reasons for Poor Posture:
Prolonged sitting
Whether working at a desk, watching TV, or commuting, excessive sitting puts your body in a fixed, unnatural position. This strains back and neck muscles, leading to slouching, rounded shoulders, and forward head posture.
Muscle imbalances
Sitting weakens core and upper back muscles responsible for supporting good posture. This weakness can
lead to excessive reliance on other muscles, promoting imbalances and further postural distortions.
Limited movement
Sitting most of the day restricts blood flow and muscle activity, contributing to stiffness and tightness. Limited physical activity decreases flexibility in joints, making it harder to maintain an upright and aligned posture.
Stress and fatigue:
These can lead to unconscious slouching and neglect of posture awareness.
Improper workstation setup
Uncomfortable chairs, low monitors, and awkward keyboard positions encourage poor posture.
Medical Conditions
Past injuries or conditions like scoliosis (an abnormal spinal curvature), osteoporosis (bone thinning),
or degenerative disc disease can directly impact spinal structure and muscle function.
Obesity and Aging
Extra weight can put increased strain on muscles and joints, causing the body to compensate with poor posture. Similarly the natural aging process can lead to muscle loss and degeneration of spinal components, increasing the likelihood of conditions like hyperkyphosis.
Consequences of poor Posture:
Poor posture doesn’t just look bad—it can cause:
- Tension Headaches and Fatigue
- Poor Breathing and Reduced Energy
- Chronic Neck, Back, and Shoulder Pain
- Long-term Joint and Spinal Degeneration
- Increased Risk of Injury during Exercise or Work
What we Offer:
Understanding poor posture
Poor posture can lead to various health issues. We at Kinex Health, help you to understand the reasons, identify signs and consequences and finally formulate a treatment plan.
Assessment by a physiotherapist
A physiotherapist starts by assessing your posture. They look at your body alignment and check for any muscle imbalances or joint restrictions. This helps them identify the specific areas that need correction.
Personalised exercise plans
Based on the assessment, the physiotherapist creates a personalised exercise plan. This plan targets the muscles that need strengthening or stretching. Stronger muscles help support proper posture.
Stretching tight muscles
Tight muscles can pull your body out of alignment. Physiotherapists teach you stretches to loosen these muscles. Regular stretching can help improve your flexibility and posture.
Strengthening weak muscles
Weak muscles can lead to poor posture. Physiotherapy exercises help strengthen these muscles. A strong core supports your spine and keeps your body in proper alignment.
Postural awareness
Physiotherapy also involves training in postural awareness and ways to maintain good posture in your daily activities like in sitting, standing, and lifting correctly. Being mindful of your posture can help prevent slouching and other bad habits.
Use of equipment
At times, physiotherapists use equipment to aid in posture correction. It can include resistance bands, stability belts, or even ergonomic chairs. These tools can help you practice proper posture and strengthen your muscles.
Regular monitoring and adjustment
Posture correction is not a one-time fix. It requires regular monitoring and adjustments. Your physiotherapist will track your progress and tweak your exercise plan as needed. This ensures continuous improvement.
