POSTURAL ASSESSMENT at J|medical

What is postural assessment? It is an evaluation aimed at examining the relationship between a person’s posture and any physical problems that may be present.

What is its objective? The objective is to identify inconsistencies between the inputs sent by the body’s receptors and the responses of the nervous system, which over time may lead to an alteration of the postural tonic system.

What are the components of the postural system and how do they interact with one another? The postural system is complex and involves the continuous interaction between the central and peripheral nervous system, the foot, the mouth, the eye, the inner ear, the skin, and the joints. These components work together to maintain the body’s balance and correct posture.

What can be the consequences of a long-term alteration of the postural tonic system? A long-term alteration of the postural tonic system can give rise to a variety of problems. These conditions can range from chronic pain to more serious joint and muscular disorders, affecting the patient’s quality of life or the athlete’s performance.

How is the postural assessment carried out? At J|medical, one of our specialists performs a comprehensive assessment of the patient or athlete. This process involves a detailed analysis of posture, taking into account all components of the postural system. What happens once the issues have been identified during the postural assessment? A personalised therapeutic or training programme is developed. This programme is specifically designed to address the alterations identified during the postural assessment.
