So many of us work at a desk for 5-7 hours per day during the workweek. This creates over time Postural Imbalances or Distortions that can lead to muscle pain and tightness. Over 60% of us deal with low back pain on a daily basis due to these types of positions. This prolonged postural position can also lead to knee pain, particularly in the front of the knee joint.
This is where corrective exercise can lead to improving postural control and increased core strength. The corrective exercises involve stretching the tight muscle groups and strengthening the lengthened muscle groups. A program will be designed based on Postural Assessments which are both static (no motion) as well as dynamic (using motion) like a modified squat. This is all about strengthening core musculature and is the initial phase of an overall strengthening program.
