Postural training is a rehabilitation technique aimed at improving posture to prevent pain, discomfort, and injury caused by poor body alignment. This type of therapy focuses on educating individuals about the importance of proper posture during everyday activities like sitting, standing, and walking. It is commonly used for patients with musculoskeletal pain, such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, that stems from incorrect posture or habits.
Through postural training, individuals learn how to align their body properly, strengthen muscles that support good posture, and avoid positions that strain the muscles or joints. Therapists may recommend exercises, ergonomic adjustments, and awareness techniques to improve posture and reduce stress on the body.
Postural training not only helps alleviate pain but also prevents future injury and enhances overall functional movement by promoting body awareness and proper alignment.
