Bad posture is caused by many factors, most commonly sitting slouched over at a desk for extended hours of the day or from bad form when training with weights at the gym. This can lead to a client’s posture being kyphotic, whereby their shoulders are brought forward which causes a hunched over effect on the spine. Other poor posture examples include a lordotic posture, in which a client’s stomach
is pushed forward causing overarching in the lower and middle back, or a flat back posture where there is no natural curve of the spine whatsoever. A postural massage helps loosen a client’s overworked and tightened muscles which allows their body to relax into its most natural, pain-free alignment. You Will Learn How To:
