Patient
Patient, aged 18, with a postural fault, protruding shoulder blades and
lumbar instability.
Problem
The patient wants to do sports, start training at the gym and improve his
posture.
Diagnosis
The patient has been suffering from poor thoracic spine extension from about 3 months of age, and his diaphragmatic function was already inefficient during this period. While developing an individual gait pattern, lumbar and hip instability appeared, which directly affected foot alignment.
Therapy
We started by working on the breathing. We needed to restore the function of the diaphragm so that the Central Nervous System could bring the stabilization function back to work and send a signal to all the supporting muscles. We rebuilt respiratory alternans pattern and diaphragm function along with thoracic extension. Instantly, the shoulder blades aligned, the hip aligned and the foot support changed. The postural fault disappeared after one therapy session. We continue training to strengthen the muscles.
