Postural Restoration: Balancing Your Body to Help Ease Pain
Tired of constant muscle and joint discomfort? Does pain make everyday tasks hard? At Kingsbridge Physiotherapy in Mississauga, postural restoration focuses on balanced movement, which can help reduce your pain and improve how you feel overall.
Body Posture Is Not Symmetrical
The human body is naturally asymmetrical. Your nervous system, breathing, reciprocal movement, muscles, and sensory systems don’t work the same way on both sides. This design gives each side its own specialized jobs.
Poor Posture Can Lead to Imbalances and Discomfort
Our expert physiotherapists understand these imbalances and the abnormal patterns that can cause pain.
For example, when one side of your body is dominant, weak, or overused compared to the other, it can cause a number of problems that eventually lead to pain.
By focusing on balanced movement during activities like walking and breathing, our clinicians can help you find relief. We pay close attention to key areas such as:
- Your pelvis
- Your chest
- Your head posture
Addressing imbalances in these areas plays a crucial role in reducing pain.
