Maya’s physiotherapist developed a tailored treatment plan to address her posture-related issues. The program incorporated various techniques and treatments to improve her posture and reduce her pain: • Postural Education: We educated Maya about maintaining proper alignment during everyday activities, no matter how much she wants to soak up the sun during her workday. She still works from her balcony, but she learned to sit and stand with a straight back, aligning her head with her spine. • Exercises: We gave Maya a set of exercises to strengthen her neck, upper back, and core muscles while stretching tight muscles. These exercises were designed to address muscle imbalances contributing to her poor posture. • Manual Therapy: During therapy sessions, her physiotherapist used manual techniques to mobilize Maya’s spine and alleviate muscle tension. These hands- on interventions helped improve joint mobility and relieve pain. • Ergonomic Assessment: The therapist provided Maya with recommendations for her workplace setup: namely, investing in a sturdy worktable that was the right height for her body. She also purchased an ergonomic mouse and keyboard rather than depending on her trackpad. The Treatment Plan at The Physiotherapy Center LTD
Maya’s journey to better posture was not without its challenges. It required commitment, consistency, and a willingness to change her daily routine. However, over time, she began to experience significant improvements. As Maya diligently followed her exercise routine and ergonomic recommendations, her neck and shoulder pain gradually subsided. She felt more alert and focused, which increased productivity and allowed her to finish projects more quickly (giving her more time to hit the beach). Her improved mood and reduced stress levels were additional benefits of her posture-enhancing journey.
