Chiva-Som’s Postural Integration Technique

May 19, 2011 - PRLog -- Good posture is one of the key elements in promoting a healthy lifestyle.  But it’s an area that is most often overlooked because we easily fall into bad habits without realising.

Through Postural Integration Technique physiotherapists will evaluate your posture and provide hands-on treatments designed to correct any specific problems you may have.  And this can have a profound effect on your daily life.  When our bodies are perfectly aligned, with the torso and limbs working in harmony, we move easily and find freedom from pain and niggling aches.  But even tiny alterations to correct posture can cause tension.  And then pain sets in.

As we adjust to pain in one part of the body - the hamstrings or neck, for instance - it tends to cause further mis-alignment, causing more problems to appear elsewhere, frequently in the back.

As we are born without posture, and without the tools to develop it correctly, we must first learn what good posture is, and then maintain it.  The pull of gravity drags body parts downwards, so there is a tendency for the body to collapse.  Poor posture, therefore, happens almost naturally, and is something we must be constantly aware of and fight against.

Postural Integration Technique helps you understand good posture, making it easier to recognise problems such as upper cross syndrome, round shoulders and hyper lordotic curve, and giving you the tools to make your own corrections as a part of daily routine.
