Recover Physio and Massage

11/04/2023

Let's talk about the truth behind massage therapy and posture! 💭 While massages can feel amazing and provide relaxation, they may not be the best solution for improving posture. 🚫🙅‍♀️ Studies have shown that massages alone may not have a significant impact on posture correction, as they do not address the underlying muscle imbalances and postural habits that contribute to poor posture. 💆‍♂️

On the other hand, physiotherapy interventions, such as targeted exercises and postural retraining, can help strengthen muscles, improve alignment, and correct postural habits for long-term results. 💪🔥 So, if you're looking to improve your posture, consider seeking guidance from a qualified physiotherapist for a holistic approach that addresses the root causes of poor posture!

I have to be honest. I never thought too much of a curve in the spine of the low back was a problem. But Rick Olderman, Super Physical Therapist, has convinced me it is often the source of low back pain. One simple cause. Tight hip flexors-pulls on your pelvis and arches your back.
