Traditional medicine tends to focus on issues like herniated discs, degeneration, or arthritis as the leading causes of pain, but the root cause of all of these end-stage problems is posture.
Posture is a static position such as either standing or sitting that can give us key information about the balance of the muscles and joints in your body. Every muscle in your body has an antagonist that performs the opposite motion. When you have muscles on one side of a joint that are stronger or tighter than the opposing muscle, this is called a muscle imbalance.
These muscle imbalances cause distortions in your posture while wearing out your joints prematurely. The spine itself, is only meant to bear a certain amount of the pressure from gravity, and your muscles pick up the rest. In the case of poor posture and muscle imbalances, however, often times the load is shifted dramatically into the area of the joints.
Long term pressure on your joints from these postural imbalances cause agitation and degeneration to the joints, and lead to conditions such as disc bulges, arthritis, and degeneration of the spine.
So, you can see, fixing the end-result will not correct the root cause, which is the postural imbalances which created the issue in the first place. This often leads to treatments that only cause short term relief.
Correcting your posture is essential for back pain relief, and the way to go about this is through correcting your unique muscle imbalances through corrective stretching and corrective exercises designed in a precise way.
