POSTURE AND ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS TREATMENT

UPPER CROSSED SYNDROME

It is a particular configuration of overlapping overactive and underactive muscle groups in the neck, chest, and shoulders. This syndrome is usually a result of poor posture including the forward head posture, which occurs during usage of electronic devices. People suffering from this may have similar postural irregularities as slouching.

LOWER CROSSED SYNDROME

Also known as pelvic crossed syndrome, it is a condition of muscle strength imbalance in the lower segment. This occurs when muscles constantly shorten and lengthen in relation to one another. The lower crossed syndrome is characterized by specific patterns of muscle weakness and tightness that cross between the dorsal and the ventral sides of the body.

OSTEOARTHRITIS

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage on the ends of your bones wears down over time. Although osteoarthritis can damage any joint in your body, the disorder most commonly affects joints in your hands, knees, hips and spine.

TIBIOFEMORAL ARTHITIES

Osteoarthritis type is the most widespread form of arthritis and occurs especially in the knee joint. Its early symptoms include stiffness and pain in the knee. Sensitivity in kneeling, bending or daily working that involves knee movement. It is degradation of joints, including articular cartilage and subchondral bone. It also leads to deterioration of ligaments, the capsule, and the synovial membrane.

HEEL PAIN

It is the pain on the underside or back of your heels. Though the heel pain does not interfere with your normal activities but it may restrict a lot of your movements including exercising.

PLANTAR FASCIITIS

Plantar fasciitis can be taken as one of the most common reasons for knee pain. The plantar is ligament that connects heels to the bones whilst supporting the arch of your foot. It is the most common cause of heel pain. Straining this muscle leads to you being unable to walk or stand or tall.
It is caused when a person strains their arch-supporting ligament.

PATELLOFEMORAL ARTHRITIS

The patella is a small bone positioned in front of your knee joint — where the thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia) meet. It protects your knee and connects the muscles in the front of your thigh to your tibia.
Patients suffering from patellofemoral knee arthritis will have stiffness and pain in the knee cap and will often experience swelling in the front part of the knee that typically deteriorates while walking on an inclined terrain, squatting or rising from a seated position.
