Posturology

A specialist posturology examination is a medical examination focused on the assessment and treatment of alterations in body posture. Posturology is an interdisciplinary study that examines how the body positions itself in space and how different anatomical parts interact to maintain balance. The main objective of the posturological examination is to identify and correct postural dysfunctions in order to improve balance, mobility and prevent potential physical problems.

During the examination, the posturologist makes a detailed assessment of the patient's posture, examining body weight distribution, joint alignment and the interaction between the various body segments. Instruments such as the baropodometer to measure plantar pressures and other postural analysis techniques are used. The aim is to identify postural abnormalities and their possible causes.

A specialist posturology examination aims to improve postural balance, prevent potential injuries or musculoskeletal problems, and promote a better quality of life. Posturology is often used to treat disorders such as back pain, joint problems, spinal dysfunctions and muscular pain caused by postural imbalances. Through postural correction and education, the aim is to promote physical well-being and improve overall body function. The posturological examination is a preventive and therapeutic approach to addressing posture and movement challenges.
