DYSFUNCTION: A DEFINITION
One of the neck's functions is to allow the head to turn to the right and left in a 180 degree arc. The inability to do that, and any other routine movement, is a dysfunction. Musculoskeletal functions are retained only through regular use.
A plumbline from the head to the feet should pass through the ear, shoulder, hip, knee and slightly in front of the ankle joint. The skeletal structure is stacked in ideal vertical balance.

ARE YOU ANATOMICALLY CORRECT?

Have You Noticed Your Posture?

. . . Other People Do!
Whether you realize it or not, other people do take notice of your posture. Posture is not only indicative of our physical well-being but of our mental
and emotional health as well.
Correct postural alignment is key to a well functioning body and is essential to good health. A postural assessment is an important first step in the design of each client's exercise program. At Anatomically Correct we use a unique postural assessment screen (see photo) to view your posture from all four sides.

If you improve your posture you will improve your appearance, no matter your age. With better postural alignment, you will not only look younger, you will move better too.

How Do You Stand Up?

Muscular imbalance is the main cause of bad posture. Below are examples of some common faulty postures and their associated muscle tightness and/or weakness.

In Lordosis, the pelvis is tilted forward, creating an excessive curve in the low back, caused by weak abdominals and tight hip flexors, often a result of too much sitting.
The Kyphosis posture, with the rounded back and forward head and shoulders position, can also be caused by too much time spent sitting, for example, hunched over a computer keyboard and monitor.
In Sway Back posture, the pelvis is displaced forward and the low back loses its natural curve and flattens, often leading to low back pain.

Pain is often associated with faulty postural alignment. Whatever the cause of pain, often muscle imbalance, restoring muscle balance to facilitate normal movement, through stretching tight muscles and strengthening weak muscles, usually relieves the symptoms of pain. Exercises are used to strengthen weak muscles and to lengthen short muscles for the purpose of restoring the elasticity on which normal muscle depends. Exercises are also used to increase muscle endurance, improve coordination and restore normal function.










WHAT IS ANATOMICALLY CORRECT POSTURE?
The block model on the left represents the most physiologically efficient posture. The head, neck and pelvis should be in proper alignment and not tilted forward or backward, which can be a cause of neck and back pain. When our bodies are symmetrical our joints and muscles function optimally. This may not be attainable for every body but it is the standard to which efforts should be directed.
