Postural deviation is a condition that unfortunately is not taken seriously and it often gets worse leading to other problems. One of the reasons some might have back pain or reduced strength in some areas of the body can be postural deviation. Due to the structure of the soft tissue, postural deviation occurs but fortunately it can be very easily corrected with remedial massage. Before trying postural corrections with surgery or other extreme measures, people should try and use massage for their pain or their postural deviation.

Postural deviation can occur without any pain or significant symptoms but it may affect people’s life without them even knowing it. Theoretically our skeleton is designed to support our body and enable our movement while minimizing the effects of gravity, but with postural deviations that might become a problem and some deviations might occur:

We start putting the weight on one leg more than on the other, we start dragging our feet, we develop a tendency to walk different which may affect the health of our feet and legs, etc. At first, people might not notice the effects but as the time passes, they will begin to get different aches and pains that can even ruin their lives.

Back pain, shoulder pain, hip and leg pain are some of the most common types of pain and they are pretty hard to ignore. Once they address these issues people realize that everything in their body is not aligned as it should be but there is no apparent cause for the injuries.

With remedial massage, people can correct both the pain that occurs due to postural deviation and the postural deviation itself. The pain is easily alleviated in a few sessions and for their postural deviation patients will need to relearn to stand and walk so that they make sure that nothing has more impact on a certain part of their body.

Sometimes some muscles will work harder than others, some joints have more strength than others and all these have to be identified and corrected before they do any more damage.

Remedial massage has a great deal of benefits that can help those who undergo it get over some of their disabilities. Due to the nature of the way our body is constructed, it usually tries to compensate for the areas that are weakened or injured. Sometimes the compensating factor still remains after the area has been healed leading to postural deviations.

For example, if somebody were to have an accident and break their ankle, for the most part of their healing process the body would put more pressure on the other leg. However, after the ankle has been healed the person maintains more pressure on the same leg leading to the other leg being weakened. This can lead to a wide range of postural problems that, fortunately, can be rehabilitated by remedial massage and a few postural correction techniques.

Remedial massage also improves the recovery time of the injury as well as preventing postural deviation in areas that are prone to this type of occurrence. The massage techniques used with remedial massage will also improve the blood flow which prevents tightness and improves the range of motions.

When it comes to desk jobs, there’s another chapter of postural deviations, and remedial massage can easily help correct those by improving the health of the shoulder, upper back and neck. There are a few techniques that work really well in those areas, as they allow proper healing while offering a more effective type of treatment.

Some of the techniques are: the trigger point technique, myofascial technique, muscle energy technique, kneading, active and passive stretching. Remedial massage will also help release muscular spasms and muscle pain as well as adhesions in the muscle tissue, which can cause even more pain and trouble.

Even if adhesions have occurred for a very long time, remedial massage is able to allow the body to eliminate them even if they are severe. Another benefit of remedial massage is the fact that it works well with manipulation treatment and eases any type of joint pain that might occur from postural deviations.

The massage therapist will create a treatment plan that works well with your specific condition. Actually, this is one of the main benefits of this type of treatment, the fact that you are thoroughly examined and a treatment is created according to your needs and the underlying issue or issues you might have. Fortunately, it doesn’t take long for remedial massage to show its effects, sometimes it needs a few regular sessions, other times it relieves pain even from the first session.
