The state of the human body at any moment is a reflection of the complex interaction between the skeletal-muscular system and the central nervous system. The spine, as the main axis of the body, is directly affected by gravity and regulatory responses of the nervous system. This structure naturally has slight curves that act as springs to maintain the balance, flexibility and stability of the body. But in the event of a disturbance in the nervous control of muscles, these curves may deviate from the normal state and lead to postural abnormalities.

Recognizing the types of postural abnormalities of the spine

1- Hyperkyphosis

In this case, the curvature of the back (thoracic cage) increases more than normal. It usually occurs due to an overactive nervous system in the upper trunk. This position can lead to rounding of the shoulders and bending of the head forward.

2-Hyper lordosis

Abnormally increased curvature of the back, usually caused by decreased muscle control in the lower spine. This situation is often associated with excessive stretching of the back muscles and weakness of the abdominal muscles.

3- Hyperkypholordosis

It is a combination of the above two situations; In this case, both the back and lumbar parts of the spine experience excessive curvature, which will lead to a combined abnormal pattern in the whole body.

4-Flat Back

In this condition, the natural curvature of the spine is reduced or lost. It is often created as a result of overactivity of the nervous system in the lumbar region and the body's attempt to compensate for the excessive curves that have occurred.

5-Military Posture

This position is associated with excessive stretching of the trunk upwards and excessive contraction of the back straightening muscles, and is a kind of reaction of the nervous system to create an "ideal" position, but it can lead to pain and functional limitation.

6-Swayback

In this case, the pelvis tilts forward and the upper body leans back. This situation is often associated with the weakness of the central muscles of the body (core) and a decrease in effective nerve control.

Specialized physiotherapy treatments to improve body posture

Physiotherapists design a specific treatment plan for each person by carefully evaluating the postural condition and movement patterns. Specialized methods in this field include the following:

1. Corrective Exercises

• Strengthening weak muscles (such as abdomen, glutes, central body muscles)
• Stretching of shortened or overactive muscles (such as back muscles, hamstrings)
Balance and neuromuscular control exercises

1. Manual Therapy

• Mobilization of spinal joints to restore normal range of motion
• Massage therapy to reduce muscle and fascia tension
Myofascial release techniques

• Neuromuscular Re-education
• Retraining the nervous system for optimal control of postural muscles
• Using balance and proprioceptive exercises to improve neuromuscular coordination

1. breathing exercises and focusing on diaphragm function

• Correcting the breathing pattern (which is disturbed in kyphotic states)
• Improving central stability with diaphragm activation

1. Assessment and modification of lifestyle

• Examination of how a person sits, stands and sleeps
• recommendation to use ergonomic desks and chairs, suitable shoes and correct lifting techniques

1. Using auxiliary equipment

• Braces or medical belts in special cases
• Taping therapeutic taping to help regulate body posture

Conclusion

The posture of our body is not only influenced by mechanical structures, but also by the complex interaction of the nervous system and stable responses to gravity. Physiotherapy as a clinical specialty can play an effective role in correcting and preventing postural abnormalities by accurately evaluating, rooting problems and providing evidence-based treatments. Early diagnosis and specialized treatment can prevent pain, movement limitations and future functional problems. href="https://tnpt.ir/tag/%d8%a7%d8%b3%da%a9%d9%88%d9%84%db%8c%d9%88%d8%b2/">Scoliosis, Spinal deviation, , osteoporosis, Takarotherapy, Back pain, knee pain, Dry needle Darinneedling, shock therapy, Physiotherapy in Tajrish, Physiotherapy Darband, Physiotherapy Dzashib, Qitariya Physiotherapy Physiotherapy Niavaran, Sports Physiotherapy, Hump and kyphosis, back pain, neck pain, radio laser, Magnetic therapy, manual therapy, foot murmur
