What is 24-hour postural management?

24-hour posture management involves tailoring all seating (such as armchairs, wheelchairs, shower chairs, and commodes) and lying surfaces (like beds) to meet an individual’s specific postural needs. This approach ensures comprehensive assessment and interventions to provide continuous support throughout the day and night.

What is Symmetry & Asymmetry in Posture

Asymmetry in posture refers to an uneven distribution of the alignment of our body’s structure. Asymmetry is a common condition of the human body. An example of asymmetry would be one shoulder drooping lower than the other in comparison to a symmetrical body which would have both shoulders level with an equal distance and height. This condition is also known as scoliosis. A lack of symmetry in the musculoskeletal system can manifest through a variety of signs, symptoms, and conditions, including: Uneven Alignment : Disparities such as uneven shoulders, hips, or spinal curvature can result in discomfort and impair mobility. Walking Irregularities : Favouring one leg, limping, or an imbalanced gait are common signs of walking asymmetry. Hip Imbalance : One hip being positioned higher or more forward than the other disrupts overall posture and movement patterns. Associated Conditions and Risks : Asymmetry can contribute to muscle strain, joint pain, and a heightened risk of injuries predominantly on one side of the body. Visible Indicators : Signs such as uneven shoe wear, one shoulder or hip appearing lower, or a tilted head often signal postural asymmetry.

What age is too late to fix posture?

It's never too early or late in life to work on improving your posture and how you move. For good posture, it's vital to strengthen and stretch your muscles alongside finding the right seating that offers postural support.
