Posture is necessary in everyday life. If left untreated this can also lead to injury, poor function and reduced performance. While many treatments target symptomatic pain relief, these modalities tend to be temporary fixes to the underlying problems.
Posture therapy seeks to get to the root of the pain or issue. By treating posture and its dysfunctional habits you can eliminate the reason why pain occurs, prevent common wear and tear injuries and even increase daily performance. Edwin and I at Positive Posture NZ see a need for an alternative way to help people be free from pain and restriction and be able to move on from this point.
First we assess posture alignment and see what range of motion is present. From this we discuss with you what treatment is needed. Homework will often be given through stretching, exercise or drinking water. If there are chronic symptoms then it may take a plan of treatment to make change possible.
Neuromuscular Therapy. Sports Massage. Reiki Treatment. On a recent visit to Karen for a massage, I mentioned that I had had a chest infection and it was taking a long time to get my breathing stable. During the massage Karen worked on my chest. At that stage my peak flow measurement was under β on reaching home I again tested the measurement and it had improved to I have regular massages with Karen and this is helping improve my breathing and therefore extending my lung capacity.
