What is Postural Correction?

Postural correction involves identifying and addressing misalignments and imbalances in the body’s posture. Proper posture is essential for reducing strain on muscles and joints, preventing injury, and promoting overall well-being. Poor posture can lead to a host of problems, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and decreased mobility.

Common Postural Issues We Address:

• Forward Head Posture: Often caused by prolonged sitting or working at a desk, leading to neck and shoulder discomfort.
• Rounded Shoulders: Frequently seen in individuals who spend extended periods hunched over, impacting upper back alignment.
• Excessive Lumbar Curve (Lordosis): A condition where the lower back has an exaggerated curve, leading to lower back pain and potential disc issues.
• Flat Back: A reduced curvature in the lumbar spine, which can lead to stiffness and discomfort.

How Our Postural Correction Program Works:

1. Comprehensive Assessment: Our physiotherapists perform a detailed evaluation of your posture, including analyzing your body alignment and movement patterns.
2. Customized Plan: Based on the assessment, we develop a tailored correction program that may include exercises, stretches, and ergonomic advice.
3. Therapeutic Exercises: Our team will guide you through targeted exercises designed to strengthen weak muscles, stretch tight areas, and promote proper alignment.
4. Education and Ergonomic Advice: Learn about the unique practices for maintaining good posture throughout daily activities, including sitting, standing, and lifting techniques.
5. Regular Monitoring: We track your progress and make necessary adjustments to ensure that you are moving towards better posture and reduced pain.

What is Gait Training?

Gait training focuses on improving the way you walk or run. Proper gait is essential for efficient movement and preventing injuries. Issues with gait can result from various factors, including injury, neurological conditions, or imbalances.

Common Gait Issues We Address:

• Overpronation: Excessive inward rolling of the foot, which can lead to knee and ankle pain.
• Underpronation: Insufficient inward rolling of the foot, which can cause stress on the lower legs and feet.
• Uneven Stride Length: Discrepancies in stride length can cause imbalances and discomfort.
• Shuffling Walk: Often observed in certain neurological conditions, leading to a reduced gait speed and stability.

How Our Gait Training Program Works:

1. Detailed Evaluation: We start with a thorough assessment of your walking or running pattern, analyzing factors such as foot strike, stride length, and overall alignment.
2. Personalized Training Plan: Based on the evaluation, we create a customized gait training program that includes specific exercises and drills to address your unique needs.
3. Strengthening and Flexibility Exercises: We incorporate exercises designed to improve strength, flexibility, and coordination, which are essential for a more efficient and balanced gait.
4. Assistive Devices and Footwear Advice: If necessary, we provide recommendations for supportive footwear or orthotics to enhance your gait and reduce discomfort.
5. Ongoing Assessment: Regular follow-up appointments ensure that your progress is monitored and adjustments are made to optimize your gait improvement.
