You aren't alone if you have bad posture. Countless people fall into adverse habits, whether from spending too many hours sitting at an uncomfortable desk, a serious injury or simply due to genetics. However, the good news is that remedial massage can help ease painful symptoms while giving you the knowledge to take action against unhealthy posture.
With your spine and joints slowly falling out of alignment due to an ongoing imbalance, remedial massage therapists can loosen the affected areas, offer genuine relief from discomfort, and teach you the best practices to address specific concerns. Here, we reflect on how remedial massage can mitigate the impact of bad posture.
Increase Bodily Awareness
The habits that lead to poor posture can become so ingrained that you might not even recognise them as harmful to your muscles and joints. While you might experience tension and muscle spasms, figuring out what to do to solve these issues is an entirely different part of the equation.
Organising a remedial massage session means you get expert advice on how your posture habits are causing lasting damage that affects your happiness and comfort. This way, you have the information you need to make changes that improve your posture now and in the future.
Loosen Overworked Muscles
If you've decided to take action on your posture, there's a high chance you've already experienced significant discomfort, such as muscle spasms. This common symptom can occur because your body attempts to protect weak and susceptible areas caused by an overreliance on certain muscles.
Similarly, muscle tension and weak muscle groups are caused by the way we sit, stand, walk, or lean over our desks. Fortunately, remedial massage can effectively loosen overworked and spasming muscles to negate painful worries and ensure that simply getting around the house or to the office doesn't feel like such a choir.
Discover Helpful Exercises
Getting advice from a qualified massage therapist means arming yourself with tailored information to overcome your posture concerns. Whether that's advice on correcting your long-established habits or specific exercises that mitigate your pain, this knowledge can be hugely beneficial.
Depending on the cause of your bad posture, it might be as simple as correcting how you sit at your desk. However, specific yoga positions or dynamic exercises could also deliver long-term benefits. Engage a specialist remedial massage therapist to take action on your poor habits.
