Posture is essential to health, and is an even greater consideration to exercise. It provides important information into the present condition of the body; in particular to the alignment of its joints and muscles. This is crucial to fitness, as corrective exercises can be prescribed to prevent potential injury or simply to counter the effects of a sedentary occupation.

Evaluation of standing and movement posture can be conducted on-site in as little as 20 minutes. The outcome however can be extremely important, as it will likely highlight reasons for any current injury issues as well as shed light on potential injuries. To articulate, faulty postures identify particular muscular imbalances. For example, males with tight hamstring muscles (back of thighs) suggest a weakness in the opposing muscle group allowing the hamstrings to adopt the shortened position experience when seated. Furthermore, this affects standing posture by pulling the pelvis down in to a flat-back or sway-back posture.

Our strategy is to identify these issues and then prescribe corrective exercise to improve such a problem. Furthermore, a faulty pelvic alignment is highly correlated with low back pain as the pelvis simply alters the natural position of the spine. It is imperative to identify these individual differences and to encourage and detail the power of exercises that can relieve such issues.
