What is postural restoration?
Postural dysfunctions in one joint interferes and damages multiple joints and down the entire chain of the body, including:
- Asymmetrical function
- Hypertonicity
- Neuromuscular imbalance
- 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 Our highly trained physical therapist at Hilltop Physical Therapy will create a therapy treatment plan that is best for you.
The mission behind postural Training:
Postural Training educates people to understand their dysfunction and explore and explain the “hows” and “whys” behind postural adaptation and correction. This includes both the scientific and medical explanations behind asymmetrical patterns and their influence on the polyarticular chains of muscles.
Hilltop Physical Therapists use postural restoration as a form of physical therapy treatment 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. The Postural Restoration Institute is a way to create and provide resources, educational opportunities, patient-care programs, and research to those who are committed to gaining expertise in the most contemporary, innovative, and effective methods of patient care. Postural restoration professionals have extensive knowledge on how asymmetrical affects interfere with the human body, including:
- Respiration
- Myokinetics
- Neuromuscular applications
- Postural imbalances
