Clinical Exercise for your posture
Clinical Exercise is a term used to describe an individualised exercise programme that targets your body’s specific needs which may include areas of pain or stiffness. These are determined by assessing your posture and then more specifically, the more troubled areas of your body. The developed programme will target imbalances and asymmetries, as well as lack of flexibility, motor control and/or strength. As your body adapts to the exercise programme, progression is important to ensure ongoing improvement. This could be developed as a home, gym programme or Physiotherapy-led exercise programme. At Back In Motion, Melbourne On Collins, we use a range of Pilates and Strength and Conditioning equipment.
Whilst there is some debate whether there is such thing as having ‘good posture’, we can confirm that changing positions and exercise are important to staying healthy and reducing injury risk. Injuries, stress, pain or sustained positions can influence or change your posture. This is where exercise programmes to specifically target the primary (cause) and any secondary issues are beneficial.
Sitting for long periods has the potential to cause weakness and tightness in a large number of areas of your body. This could include weakness and tightness in your neck, shoulders, back, hips and/or knees.
