Im 27 and this had progressed over a year. It is horrible to live with as i have a young daughter as most of the time I struggle to cope with the pain and restrictions pcs brings. I am in physio and it does help but due to a problem with my knee it is all ongoing and sometimes aggrivates the problem. I have always sat slumped never up straight even now as Im sat at my computer im slumped remembering every now and then to sit up straight and when I walk I have my head down and back bent slightly, I now have to learn how to walk with good posture. I think this was also caused when I was prgnant and my daughter was laying awkward on the side I am having problems with, I had to give up work due me not being able to hardly walk. This article has helped me to understand a little more about my problem Thank you. i suffer with pcs along with another problem with my knee all mainly on one side of my body.

I collect articles on the implications of poor posture and this is a keeper to add to it. How many people who suffer from chronic lower back, hip, knee and foot pain relate it to poor posture? How many undergo hip and knee replacement or spinal fusions that could have been prevented? A lot of reference is made to upper crossed syndrome but relatively little to PCS. Thanks! Please consider the PostureJac as a modality to change postural habits and revitalize structures. The automatic reflux inhibition in the brain is embedded in motor memory and needs to be overridden. This is best accomplished by repeated input of new information and reconditioning the body to support it. Like the upper crossed syndrome, the structures on the inner curve need to be stretched and the outside strengthened. The PostureJac is an exercise device with exercises provided to accomplish this. Wouldn't it be nice if the therapy received in the clinic could be reinforced by integrating it into daily living. The goal of therapy is to bring change and restoration so that it becomes less necessary. Changing postural habits so the opposing muscle groups stay balanced and people feel that ideal vertical posture can do that. Please visit the website at www.posturejac.com for extensive explanations and demonstrations of posture theory and how the PostureJac can be an inexpensive solution. Many have been helped already. We also collect articles that are relevant and this one will be added to our collection under Resources. The creator of the PostureJac, Dr. Howard Makofsky, Professor of Physical Therapy, is devoting a whole chapter to posture and the use of the PostureJac in the upcoming second edition of his textbook on spinal manual therapy. It is available for viewing in pdf format upon request. Contacts are provided on the website. This is an excellent article.
