2. INTRODUCTION
Postural dysfunction or “Poor” posture is defined as when our
spine is positioned in unnatural positions, in which the curves
are emphasised and this results in the joints, muscles and
vertebrae being in stressful positions. This prolonged poor
positioning results in a build up of pressure on these tissues.
Painful conditions associated with poor posture are so common
that most people have some firsthand knowledge of these
problems. Low back pain is the most frequent complaint but
research shows neck, shoulder and arm pain has become
increasingly widespread as a result of postural dysfunction. Foot
and knee problems are also becoming more common due to the
emphasis on running and fitness.
