Postural Assessment & Training

At Saskatoon RMT, our experienced therapists focus on improving posture through targeted massage therapy. By employing specialized techniques, we work to relieve tension in the muscles, enhance blood flow, and help your body naturally align for better posture in all activities.

Maintaining proper posture is essential for the spine’s health, as it supports the natural curves of the neck, mid-back, and lower back. Misalignment in these areas can lead to discomfort, muscle strain, and a heightened risk of injury. Whether you’re sitting, standing, sleeping, or moving, your posture plays a crucial role in how your body functions and feels. Poor posture can impact muscle health, strain your joints, and lead to chronic pain.

At Saskatoon RMT, we offer the following support to help improve your posture:

– **Postural Training**: We guide you through exercises designed to increase your flexibility and range of motion, while also reducing muscle tension.
– **Fascial Release**: We target and release tight or restricted soft tissues, allowing for smoother, more fluid movement.
– **Breathing Exercises**: Proper breathing can alleviate shoulder and neck tension. It’s also effective in reducing stress and promoting overall relaxation, which can help prevent headaches and other discomforts.

The benefits of regular massage for posture include:

– **Muscle Relaxation**: Using gentle strokes and focused manipulation, we address muscle knots and tightness, helping your body naturally realign. For stubborn tension, deeper techniques can provide additional relief.
– **Pain Relief**: When your posture is misaligned, your muscles may become overworked and fatigued. Massage can help reduce this fatigue by relaxing the muscles, releasing built-up toxins, and decreasing lactic acid to relieve soreness and pain.
– **Improved Breathing**: Poor posture can restrict your lungs and diaphragm, reducing airflow. Massage helps relax these areas, enabling deeper, more effective breathing.

By improving posture, we help prevent slouching and misalignment, promote joint mobility, and enhance your digestion, contributing to a healthier and more comfortable lifestyle.
