Posture Improvement C
Through Strength Training How 1.8% of the week can influence your alignment
BY JOHN PAUL CATANZARO
orrective exercise should in- volve movements to length- en the common short and
tight muscles (the calves, hip flexors, chest, anterior deltoids and wrist flexors) and to shorten the common long and flaccid muscles (the shins, hip extensors, abdominals, middle back, posterior deltoids and wrist
extensors). There are numerous reasons for these postur-
al deviations, including improper footwear (e.g., high-heels), excessive sitting, hours spent typ- ing, writing, eating and driving, and imbalanced training programs. Take a kypho-lordotic posture, for example.
In this posture there is an excessive curve in the upper and lower spine (kyphosis refers to an outward curve of the spine, and lordosis refers to an inward curve of the spine when viewed posteriorly). I’m sure you see this in many of your clients.
