Expert Posture Analysis | DW Osteopathy Chepstow

What does "Good Posture" actually mean?

Posture relates to the complex interactions between muscles, joints, ligaments and bones that generates the position we hold ourselves.

At DW Osteopathy we offer the unique opportunity of having a postural analysis.

What it will do:

- Identify poor sitting and standing techniques
- Identify poor movement patterns
- Reduce the risk of muscle or joint injury
- Identify any current underlying injuries.

This unique service is available to everyone. You do not need to already be in pain or have an injury, the aim of this analysis is to prevent pain or injury. For example, you may work in an office space and be concerned about if you are sitting correctly.

Pain or injury from prolonged incorrect posture is not something that causes instantaneous problems, the issues can accumulate over time. Respectively, once the effects of poor posture have become apparent it can take a long time to correct them.

If you are currently suffering with pain then head over to our contact page to make your initial consultation today!

What does a Posture Analysis involve?

Using a specially devised osteopathic questionnaire and physical examination, the analysis identifies key physical and behavioural components to ascertain an overall sense of functionality.

The questionnaire and physical examination will cover:

- Your occupation
- Regular hobbies and physical activities
- Diet
- Medical history
- Muscle imbalances
- Joint restrictions
- Areas of major overload of muscles or joints.

The osteopath will then provide personal advice and recommendations to improve your posture through specific regular exercises and slight alterations to lifestyle behaviours.
