How to get a better posture

Especially at school age and puberty, deviations from correct posture can be corrected. It can improve with physical therapy exercises and medical gymnastics (movement therapy).

Thus, in adulthood, especially in young adults, will meet with a much higher frequency of suffering, such as cervical discopathy, dorsal and lumbar, neuralgia, attacks of muscle tension and limited mobility.

Rehabilitation

In order to stop these shortcomings and have a better posture, we need extra effort to identify children, adolescents and youth with disabilities located in the spine. The next step is the establishment of exercise programs or physical therapy, to stop the evolution of functional deviations, called vicious attitude towards structural changes that will require wearing corset or other orthopedic devices and support muscle recovery and orthopedic-surgical intervention.

Corrective gymnastics programs proposed by chiropractors, under the guidance and advice of the specialist, must be known and practiced by children, adolescents and young adults under the supervision of specialist staff and parents in order to get a better body posture. Good medical gymnastic exercises can be learned in a specialized rehabilitation center and will run daily, both in the gym and at home, and your doctor will perform periodic monitoring.

The role of exercise

In all spinal deviations, regardless of severity or evolutionary stage, timing the programs are required to present the corrective physical therapy plan, alone or in combination with orthopedic-surgical treatment.

Medical gymnastics, gymnastics, physical therapy, medical recovery, therapeutic exercises, all of these are based on the therapeutic application of coordinated movement (collated) with a specific purpose (obtaining certain expected effects such as a better body posture).

Sport, an alternative

Physical education and sports activities are required.

Best spot recommended by specialists in the field is swimming, especially back swimming.

Sports and sports games will be applied for therapeutic purposes , not for competitive aspect, but the entertainment will follow the remedial effects, eliminating movements that could exacerbate the deviation and repetinf the ones that develop a better posture.

Given the importance of proper breathing in order to maintain the health of the body, we recommend a program of respiratory gymnastics.

When you get older, the trunk gets invariably short. This means that the spinal discs become thinner due to wear, although the arms and legs do not change. That normally happens to older people, often leaving the impression of a disproportionate look. But the same image can be created if the body posture is not correct.

Good posture, besides adding a few inches in height, will make you seem thiner by up to two kilograms, which, combined with the air of confidence that we've got will be enough to make the day more beautiful. Shoulders bowed and "curved" spine can make you look years older, but this is what it can really do over time:

Double chin;

Varicose veins;

Hump;

Headache and backaches;

Overuse of the heart;
