It's
safe to say that most of us have a degree of
postural imbalance and that we are completely
unaware of it.
But
what is good posture?
It
is defined as the position in which you hold
your body upright against gravity while standing,
sitting or lying down. Good posture involves
training your body to stand, walk, sit and lie
in positions where the least strain is placed
on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement
or weight-bearing activities.
Many
of us have a lifestyle that involves sitting
for long periods, be it behind the wheel of
a car or behind a desk. It is easy to get into
bad postural habits which can lead to slouching
and discomfort and, ultimately, long-term damage.
Even
the way in which we stand or walk can, over
time, cause permanent damage to our bones, joints
and soft tissue if not corrected.
Even
regular gym users are not immune to the effects
of poor form and posture. In my years as a gym
user and Personal Trainer, I have seen some
staggering examples of people unknowingly laying
the foundation for years of future aches and
pains.
A
postural analysis will identify any areas of
weakness or imbalance that you have.
The
results will be compiled into a report along
with suggestions and a corrective exercise prescription
for you to follow.
Sessions
can be taken at your home or within my partner
club, TOTAL
