ALIGNMENT & POSTURE CORRECTIONS WITH DYNAMIC ARCH SUPPORT
Body Alignment & Posture Proper Body Alignment & Posture
Knowing how to move, sit, and stand correctly can help you stay active and avoid breaking bones or becoming disabled. The degree of kyphosis, or forward curvature of the upper back, that can come from broken bones in the spine can also be reduced with proper posture.
When your musculoskeletal system is aligned properly, posture can be a relaxing experience. However, if you perform the majority of your everyday duties with poor body mechanics, or if you are wounded or stressed in any manner, muscular spasms and spinal misalignment may be the result. There are, fortunately, ways to treat bone alignment and its impact on joints, muscles, and/or nerves.
Experts in posture have defined optimum alignment as the placement of body parts that serve as landmarks in relation to a vertical plumb line that runs down through your center.
Ideal postural alignment occurs at the joints, when the two bones meet at their centers, whether clinically or not. The spine is less stressed when the body is aligned properly, and it helps you maintain good posture (National Osteoporosis Foundation).
When your spine is misaligned, oh, the agony!
Your body maintains a reasonably straight line from your head to your shoulders and back, as well as your hips, knees, and feet, when your spine is properly aligned.
Proper alignment can aid in the prevention of long-term pain in addition to maintaining healthy posture. Misalignment can limit your range of motion, and serious problems can have a negative impact on your quality of life (Healthline)
Misalignment of the spine is associated with the following risk factors:
Misalignment of the spine can lead to more significant problems that go beyond modest pain and discomfort. If your spine isn’t properly positioned, you’re more likely to develop:
persistent discomfort
rigidity of the joints
a slouched position
a smaller range of motion
reduced mobility
sitting, standing, and laying down causes discomfort
Deformities of the joints and bones that are permanent
fractured bones, particularly those in the spine
breathing problems
sciatica
Alignment and posture are improved by DYNAMIC ARCH SUPPORT.
Most individuals are aware that in order to develop and maintain excellent posture, you must stay in good physical shape. That entails exercising on a regular basis, maintaining a healthy weight, and stretching. Stretches that target the spine, such as planks and cat-cow positions, are particularly beneficial.
However, there is another important factor that most individuals overlook when determining how to acquire good alignment and posture. That’s the kind of footwear and arch support your foot gets. When your feet and arches are correctly supported, the rest of your body is in a better position to be properly aligned, resulting in good posture.
Most shoes do not provide adequate arch support, and most insoles provide static rather than dynamic support. By static, we imply that there is no fluid support for the arch throughout the gait cycle. Static support is the most common type of support provided by orthotic insoles, whether custom or over-the-counter. To be able to provide Dynamic Arch support, you must be able to provide support beneath the arch during the gait cycle while also efficiently maintaining alignment.
The Dynamic Arch Support is now available in an insole named IDEASTEP. The IDEASTEP insole is a brand-new form of dynamic energy-returning insole. The wearer of IDEASTEP insoles has three energy return levels to support the arch and ensure dynamic alignment with every stride. Good posture is a result of optimal alignment.
Takeaway
Minor misalignment of the spine or poor posture may not be cause for alarm. However, if you notice any evidence of misalignment, you should visit a doctor to avoid consequences. If you’re able, try exercising, stretching, and sitting less to relieve pain and strengthen your core. However, using insoles that support your arches properly can help you attain and maintain good posture before any of these problems emerge.
