HAVE YOU NOTICED YOUR POSTURE?.  .  .  .  . OTHERS DO!

Your posture has a large influence not only on your physical appearance but also on how your body functions. Bad posture is usually caused by muscle imbalance that  results from muscle weakness and or tightness. This leads to more wear and tear on your body and is a major cause of most and joint pain.

HOW DO YOU STAND UP?

A postural assessment is an important first step in the design of a client's exercise program. At Anatomically Correct, a unique postural assessment screen is used to view your posture from all sides.

Ideally your body should be equally aligned from side-to-side and back-to-front. When your body is in balance, it requires less effort to move. With better postural alignment you will not only move better, you will look younger too.

Exercises are also used to improve muscular endurance, joint stability and coordination to restore functional movement. Restoring muscle balance by stretching tight muscles to improve functional movement, and strengthening weak muscles can relieve pain symptoms.

Below are three examples of common faulty postures and their associated muscle tightness and/or weakness.
