Posturology is the specialization that analyzes the postural tonic system from a multidisciplinary point of view. By combining posturology with Osteopathy, it is possible to diagnose and treat vertebral, articular and visceral dysfunctions that cause postural problems.
Posturalbodyone to improve posture
Posturalbodyone’s methodology consists of obtaining an osteopathic-postural diagnosis.
First, the observation of the muscular chains of retraction and expansion of the tissues that generate postural deviations is performed. Then, the osteopathic specialist studies the patient’s posture on a special platform that allows measuring the deviations of the center of gravity or center of pressures of the body in the different planes of space, in order to prescribe a treatment or strategy for postural control at the neurosensory level and with the tonic-postural system.
The three pillars to diagnose postural problems
- Static and dynamic situation: the patient performs several static tests (Romberg, eyes open, eyes closed) and in movement, asking for specific movements to analyze postural behavior (Fukuda, etc.).
- In the workplace: the working day is guilty in many cases of postural problems, so the patient’s work situation will be analyzed in order to evaluate poor posture or repetitive movements of the musculoskeletal system that can lead to postural problems, with the consequent loss of performance and increased sick leave.
- During activities: it is also important to analyze posture during sports activities or while playing a musical instrument, in order to detect postural problems and prevent injuries, as well as in the treatment during the development of technopathies.
What does Posturalbodyone treatment consist of?
The specific analysis of minor joint movements and their integration into the overall biomechanics, in which each body segment is interdependent, added to the neurological posturological diagnosis with the force platform, the diagnosis is more complete and specific. Depending on this diagnosis, treatment may involve one or more of the following measures:
- Correct the osteopathic dysfunctions found.
- If the osteopathic treatment is not sufficient, correct the sensory sensor in collaboration with posturology specialists.
- Modify the work space in collaboration with ergonomists and engineers.
- Modify the sporting gesture or technique, in collaboration with the corresponding trainers or teachers.
- Postural and gestural adaptation according to the biomechanical possibilities of the patient and his environment such as the work space, his activities, sports or musical instruments.
- Learning and prescription of exercises and self-manipulations adapted to each situation.
