Correction of posture disorders

Types of Postural Disorders and Their Symptoms

Functional Postural Disorders

These arise due to habitual activities that affect posture and can be caused by lifestyle, occupational factors, and sports activities. Symptoms may include:

• Muscle tension and fatigue. Prolonged sitting or standing in an incorrect position often leads to tension in key muscle groups, causing discomfort and fatigue.
• Neck and shoulder pain. Poor alignment can result in tension in the neck and shoulders, often described as a feeling of "tightness" or heaviness.
• Changes in range of motion. This may manifest as reduced flexibility or limitations in movement in certain joints, hindering the ability to perform daily tasks.

Scoliosis (Scoliotic Disease)

Scoliosis is a disorder characterized by abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. Scoliosis can develop during the growth spurts in teenagers and can vary in severity. The symptoms of scoliosis include:

• Visual changes, such as spinal curvature, uneven shoulder heights, hip heights, or a protruding rib cage on one side.
• Back pain, especially after prolonged physical exertion or sitting.
• Decreased function, such as reduced lung capacity or limited mobility that affects overall physical performance.

When to See a Doctor

If you notice persistent pain, discomfort, or noticeable signs of postural disorders, it is important to consult a specialist in a timely manner. Early diagnosis and intervention can prevent potential complications, such as chronic pain or mobility issues. Additionally, if postural disorders interfere with daily activities, work, or recreation, seeking help from the specialists at the "Dobrobut" Physical Rehabilitation Center is critical to ensure effective treatment and recovery.

Diagnosis of Postural Disorders

The center prioritizes comprehensive diagnostics to determine the type and degree of disorders and develop an individualized treatment plan. Key methods include:

• Physical examination: A thorough assessment of posture helps understand the severity of the condition and its impact on the musculoskeletal system.
• Functional assessments to measure the impact of postural problems on mobility, flexibility, and strength, as well as on cardiovascular and respiratory functions.
• Imaging methods. In some cases, X-rays or MRI may be used to detect and evaluate spinal curvature and other structural changes that may influence the treatment plan.

Treatment and Recovery

The strategy for correcting postural disorders and treating scoliosis at the "Dobrobut" Physical Rehabilitation Center combines proven practices aimed at aligning the spine and enhancing physical capabilities, utilizing modern techniques and state-of-the-art equipment.

Schroth Therapy

This is a specialized approach primarily for treating scoliosis, which includes individually designed exercise programs aimed at correcting spinal curvature. This method allows patients to actively participate in rehabilitation, focusing on breathing techniques that teach them to use deep breathing to improve rib mobility and encourage spinal alignment. It also provides instructions on activating specific muscle groups, helping patients understand how to maintain a healthier posture in daily life.

Schroth Therapy Equipment:

• Schroth braces — custom-made corsets designed to support the spine in a more favorable position, working in combination with exercises for gradual improvement.
• Posture training equipment — various devices such as stability balls, wedges, and balance boards used to reinforce correct posture habits.

Neurac Method

Neurac therapy focuses on changing the movement patterns (habitual movements) of the body using principles of neurological rehabilitation. During individual Neurac exercises, it helps restore functional movements, improving muscle activation and efficiency. Key components include:

• Functional exercises aimed at strengthening weak muscles to help patients recover normal movements.
• Effective pain relief associated with postural issues through normalizing muscle function and restoring balance.

Redcord Equipment

The Redcord system uses suspension training systems to promote optimal movement patterns while reducing stress on the body. Advantages of this technique include improved stability, as patients can activate deep stabilizing muscles during controlled movements, and adaptive training based on the patient's ability level and recovery goals.
