Did you know that 90% of people have an imbalanced posture?
This happens because we repeatedly use the same set of muscles without realizing it. Let’s observe ourselves a bit… What activities do you do each day? And in a week or a month, how much do you vary your activities? Starting the day by sitting and working continuously for 8 hours, then rushing to socialize after work, or going home to enjoy your favorite series, or choosing to relax your body from stress by exercising in your preferred way—no matter the lifestyle, you are using your “muscles” unevenly.
The key factor for balanced posture is ‘muscles’
Simply put, think of your body as a pillar that can stand upright and balanced because of the tension from the surrounding muscles. What happens if the muscles supporting that pillar become tight or loose due to unbalanced use? The answer is the pillar will still stand, but!! it will be in an unbalanced position as it should be.
What happens if the body posture is unbalanced (Poor Posture)?
- Loss of appearance: Whether it’s a hunched back, rounded shoulders, or a forward head, these postures all indicate an imbalanced posture. If not corrected, it will inevitably lead to “pain.”
- Office syndrome comes calling: Even if you (may) not have symptoms now, once you enter your 30s, the pain will start to intensify—back pain, neck, shoulder, and upper back pain, pain here and there, endlessly recurring.
- No matter how much you exercise, you never reach your goals: People addicted to exercising often have goals to challenge their potential. But having an imbalanced body posture increases the chance of feeling pain and wanting to quit. If you push yourself to meet your goals despite this, it will eventually lead to exercise-related injuries.
- Risk of injury from exercise : If you repeatedly get injured in the same spot during exercise, this is a sign that your body posture is imbalanced. When the body structure is unbalanced, you unknowingly use inappropriate muscles for that exercise, such as elbow pain from golf or badminton, or shin and back pain from running.
- Risk of spinal and nerve diseases : When the spine, the central axis of the body, is compressed or forced to bend in an inappropriate way continuously, it increases the risk of scoliosis, herniated discs, and spinal nerve compression.
Posture Check
This is an examination of the body’s central axis structure fromhead, neck, shoulders, spine, hips, knees, to anklesto see if the directions are appropriate. It helps analyze skeletal abnormalities at a level not visible to the naked eye, allowing prevention and targeted health problem solutions caused by imbalanced posture. The check is safe and takes no more than 15 minutes to complete.
