What does postural defect correction depend on?

To cut it short, corrective process is taking place at muscular and skeletal level. At the skeletal level the process of correction finishes with ossification of the backbone evaluated on the basis of the x-ray picture. Ossification of the pelvic nucleus or other methods determining termination of that process. On average it is estimated to terminate in the 20-25 age bracket for males and a little earlier for females however it varies individually. After this age period not invasive correction is very difficult and very unlikely to be successful.

The second level of correction is at muscular level as uneven musculature contributes to postural defect. Excessively developed or excessively contracted muscles “attract bones” which results in postural defect. Corrective action is based on levelling out muscular disproportions and at the same time levelling out skeletal disproportions (if it is possible from the point of view of bones’ ossification). If influencing skeletal system is no longer possible then by levelling out muscular disproportion it is possible to introduce active correction, that is muscle influence body in such a way that it is difficult to notice postural defect although it still exists skeletally.

The next important factor in postural correction is the fact that it secures from dysfunctions connected with the postural defect like: decrease in the size of lungs – circulatory problems and heart conditions etc.
