Postural correction is a rehabilitation technique that focuses on identifying and correcting improper posture to alleviate pain, improve function, and prevent injury. Poor posture can lead to musculoskeletal imbalances, pain, and increased risk of injury. Postural correction involves educating patients on proper alignment and utilizing exercises, stretches, and ergonomic modifications to improve posture.

Common techniques include strengthening exercises for weak muscles, stretching tight muscles, and learning how to maintain neutral spine positions during everyday activities. Postural correction also addresses ergonomics, such as workstation adjustments and posture awareness while sitting or standing.

Effective postural correction can significantly improve pain management, prevent future injuries, and enhance overall functional movement.
