Posture Correction

Dr. Michael Malik is specially trained and certified in the Clinical Biomechanics of Posture technique.  This technique is effective at reducing pain and improving health by restoring proper alignment and posture.  Postural distortions cause an increase in spinal loads and stresses.  These distortions require the muscles of the spine to work extra hard resulting in even more stress on the spine.

For example, your head is the approximate weight of a bowling ball.  Holding a bowlinlg ball close to your chest (your center of gravity) is easy, but when the ball is moved further and further away from your chest it gets harder to lift and more stress is placed on the muscles and joints of your arms.

Important nerve structures located in the discs, ligaments, muscles and joints of the spine are responsible for sensing pain and balance and are increasingly stressed with postural distortions.  By correcting posture and alignment of the spine we are able to reduce stress on spinal joints and the delicate nerve structures located within.  Remember- Nerves control every organ and every cell of our bodies.  If we stress these nerves we stress our organs, our cells, our bodies.
