Recently, many people have been struggling with poor posture. But what exactly is poor posture? And can it be corrected? There are cases of posture that can be corrected and cases that cannot. If there is movement in the spine and ribs, it can be treated, but if the joints are locked and there is no movement, manual therapy becomes challenging. At Pain Away, we first check joint movement and use AI-based posture analysis to determine if the posture can be corrected.
Why do people develop poor posture?
There are various reasons for poor posture, but here, we’ll highlight examples related to daily habits. Recently, the time spent using computers and smartphones has significantly increased. When using smartphones or computers, people often adopt a posture where they lean forward to look at the screen. Repeating the same posture for long periods every day causes muscles and joints to become stiff in that position, leading to chronic poor posture. On the other hand, if one repeatedly makes movements that arch the back for long periods, poor posture is less likely. However, such movements are rare in modern life. Therefore, dedicated time for posture correction treatments or exercises is necessary.
How is poor posture corrected?
At Pain Away, we loosen stiff, immobile muscles and correct the posture by stretching. However, this alone is not enough to maintain proper posture, so training is also conducted. Pain Away Clinic has a training room where specialized training can be done alongside treatments. By changing daily habits, undergoing treatment, and training once a week for 2-3 months, posture can be improved. After that, posture analysis with AI is conducted again to check the results.
