Physical pain:
Post-surgery or following physical trauma such as falls, traffic accidents, or improper lifting, problems with posture may arise. When pain occurs, the body adapts to achieve the most appropriate position under the given circumstances. This adaptation can manifest as tension in muscles, connective tissue, fascia, and tendons, as well as twists and rotations in joints, which are reflected in posture. Rotations, misalignments, and twists can perpetuate existing pain and potentially lead to new pain, both acute and long-term. It can be difficult to understand that pain can manifest years or even decades later as a consequence of past complications.
Psychological stress:
The interaction between the two hemispheres of the brain is crucial to the body’s ability to maintain healthy posture and internal alignment. In cases of stress and other forms of mental and emotional strain, this interaction—known as laterality—plays a crucial role. When overload occurs, it manifests not only psychologically but is also reflected physically, particularly through twists and rotations. Therefore, posturology is a powerful approach to both understanding and treating psychological overload.
