Posturology is a tool to understand the body's posture and decode where an issue is hiding.
Posturology is used as a treatment method to correct the body's posture. This makes it particularly suitable for managing physical pain throughout the body and addressing mental health challenges.
Posturology uses Auriculotherapy in its treatment method.
The training is spread over two weekends.
WHAT POSTUROLOGY CAN DO
Physical pain:
After surgery or physical trauma such as falls, traffic accidents or improper lifting, postural problems can occur. When pain occurs, the body adapts to achieve the most appropriate position for the given circumstances. This adaptation can materialize as tension in muscles, connective tissue, fascia, tendons, ligaments and twists and rotations in joints, which is reflected in posture. Rotations, misalignments and twists can perpetuate existing pain and possibly lead to new pain, both acute and long-term. It can be complex to understand that pain can manifest years or decades later as a consequence of previous complications.
Mental strain:
The interaction between the two hemispheres of the brain is crucial for the body's ability to maintain healthy posture and internal centering. In cases of stress and other forms of mental and emotional strain, the collaboration, known as laterality, plays a crucial role. When overload occurs, it not only manifests itself psychologically, but is also reflected physically, especially through twists and rotations. Therefore, posturology is a powerful approach to both understanding and treating mental overload.
