Posture Assessment and Corrective Exercise
Poor Posture and muscle imbalances can be the often overlooked cause of many health problems from headaches to flat feet as well as many sporting injuries.
Assessing posture must be a pre-requisite for any exercise or rehab programme to be successful.
The Chek Level 1 Posture Assessment takes about 2hrs to complete and consists of the following assessments:
Head Carriage, Forward and Lateral Tilt
Cervical,Thoracic and Lumbar Spinal Curves
Pelvic Tilt
First Rib Angle
Range of Movement of all Major Joints
Length / Tension of all Major Muscles
Breathing Mechanics
Weight Shift
Core Strength and Control
Once the posture has been assessed a corrective stretching and exercise programme can be designed to correct the particular muscle imbalances found.
Our thoughts and lifestyles show in our postures and these must also be taken into consideration.
