WHAT IS ABNORMAL POSTURE?
The body should be perfectly balanced with an even weight distribution of 50% on the right half of the body and 50% on the left, yet few people are perfectly balanced and often favor one side over the other, and in extreme cases of bad posture that cause persistent pain, there are significant imbalances. As you age, abnormal posture can contribute to other skeletal and muscular problems. Factors involved in equal weight distribution include the shoulder line, hip line, knee line, arches of the feet, and six planes of motion in the spine with its natural curvature.
SYMPTOMS & DIAGNOSIS
Symptoms of abnormal posture include pain when staying in one seated or standing position, persistent pain walking, limping, or slumping of the neck, back and shoulders. Abnormal posture can be diagnosed by your primary care physician or a licensed chiropractor.
HOW DASHA® CAN HELP
DASHA® uses a postural assessment, active range of motion assessment, and a 3D body view assessment to distinguish where the postural idiosyncrasies exist and what unbalanced areas are in need of correction. From this, a customized treatment plan involving a combination of Active Release Technique (ART), Graston Technique (GT) and other necessary adjustments is designed to correct the patient’s bad posture in a non-surgical and non-invasive way. For patients who express interest on strengthening their spine, a personal training program can also be added into their regimen. The benefits of good posture often include a combination of greater confidence, increase in height, happiness, flexibility and better digestion.
