Postural Deformities
Postural deformities refer to abnormal alignments of the body that can affect overall posture. Common types include scoliosis, where the spine curves sideways, and kyphosis, characterized by an exaggerated forward rounding of the back. These conditions can result from various factors, including genetics, poor posture, or muscle imbalances.
These deformities can lead to discomfort, pain, and reduced mobility. Early detection and intervention, such as physical therapy or braces, can help manage symptoms and improve posture. Maintaining good posture through exercises and ergonomic practices is essential for preventing these deformities from developing.
