Top 5 Hip Flexor Exercises for Improved...
Everybody knows an upright posture is essential. The importance of an aligned stance is an integral part of human wisdom.
Your mother may have told you to pull your shoulders back as a child. Perhaps a friend advised keeping your chin up through harder times.
An aligned body sets the tone for physical performance to pain-free movements, and spinal health, according to a study published in the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.
Postural correctors have become a popular solution to the widespread misalignment problems of today. The artificial tension created by the straps allegedly prevents you from slouching.
Now, do these braces fix what caused the imbalance?
This article presents the real cause of joint misalignment and explains why you should steer clear of postural correctors.

A quick search on Amazon shows a wide range of posture correctors ranging from straps to braces and even Bluetooth sensors that alert your phone when you fall out of line.
These tools may seem appealing for their simplicity. You wear the correctors, and all your posture problems go away. The problem is that they fail to address the real cause of body misalignments, which caused the issue in the first place. The correctors become band-aids used to fix a wound that needs stitches.
Studies show that the brain controls posture based on its analysis of the environment. This oversight enables you to withstand gravity and move efficiently. Sensors such as your eyes and your jaw send constant feedback about your surroundings, while the feet relay information about the ground.
The analytical centers of the brain process the signals and convert them into a command that sets the tone of all your muscles from head to toe. Posture misalignments occur when imbalances hinder this vital communication between your sensors and your nervous system. Your left shoulder is higher, and more forward than the other because your nervous system thinks you are somewhere else.
A posture corrector does nothing to improve your perception of the environment. Your brain still receives a faulty signal from the affected sensor that caused the issues in the first place, while the straps artificially pull you back. Your muscles lose function as your body grows dependent on the brace for support and you end up weaker than before.
Reap permanent results by working the system in charge of your posture, the brain. The Postural Recalibration Method addresses the root cause of pain and misaligned joints. This holistic approach assesses the sensors in interaction with your nervous system any time you stand and move, from the convergence of your eyes when you focus on a target to the position of your jaw, along with the weight distribution onto your feet.
Correcting these faulty signals elicits an aligned stance naturally. The pictures below show the some results experienced by our clients.

By practicing gentle movements like the Pubic Symphysis Release and using therapeutic insoles, you can encourage your SI joint to relax. Consistency in these practices is key.
Yes, many cases of SI joint discomfort can improve with exercises, proper foot alignment, and core strengthening. Posturepro’s brain-based approach also offers support by addressing alignment at its root cause.
Recurring SI joint pain often stems from postural imbalances or weak core muscles. The body’s natural alignment can become disrupted when foot, eye, or pelvic inputs are misaligned.
Symptoms like lower back pain, hip discomfort, or a feeling of instability in the pelvis may indicate SI joint misalignment. Observing your foot positioning and seeing how your hips align can provide clues.
Differentiating between SI joint pain and lower back pain can be challenging as they share similar symptoms. However, SI joint pain is typically localized in the buttocks and may radiate down to the legs.
Physical therapy can be highly effective in managing the symptoms of SI joint dysfunction. However, because physical therapy does not address the root cause, additional interventions may be required.
Surgery is typically considered as a last resort for chronic SI joint pain after non-surgical treatments have been exhausted. It is essential to explore conservative options first like posture correction, in order to address the main cause of the imbalance.
Movement is said to activate the brain, but it’s crucial to understand that exercising with postural imbalances can lead to injury. Posture, controlled subconsciously by the brain, cannot be improved solely by trying harder. If your posture is misaligned before exercising, it remains so during exercise.
Recovery times vary depending on the surgical procedure and individual healing capacity. In general, full recovery may take several months. That’s why it’s important to work on prevention to avoid postural issues and potential surgical interventions altogether.Getting your posture assessed can significantly reduce the risk of developing posture-related problems and the need for surgery.
The key approach is to focus on posture correction to prevent joint misalignment, ensuring proper pressure on the vertebral joints. In addition to this, some individuals find temporary relief through natural remedies like turmeric, ginger, or arnica creams.
