What is postural restoration?
Postural restoration focuses on several key aspects that link postural dysfunctions to the interference and damage on polyarticular chains, including:
- Asymmetrical function
- Hypertonicity
- PRI neuromuscular orthotic principles
- Recognition of altered systemic muscles
- Polyarticular muscular chains
- Hemispheric plasticity
- Regulatory functional lateralization
- Unilateral compensatory patterned function
- Multi-faceted approach of non-linear treatment
- Imbalanced inhibition vs. balanced strengthening
The mission behind postural restoration:
Postural restoration as a form of Physical Therapy treatment is meant to address, diagnose, and treat the primary contributions of postural kinematic movement dysfunction. Essentially, these treatments get to the root of the problem and aim to correct the dysfunction, rather than simply masking the symptoms.
Simply put, postural restoration is a method that strives to improve the practice of physical medicine. Postural restoration professionals have extensive knowledge of how asymmetrical effects interfere with the human body, including:
- Respiration
- Myokinematics
- Neuromuscular applications
- Postural imbalances
