Balance and posture

What is Balance?

Balance is the ability to maintain your body’s center of gravity over its base of support. It’s essential for performing everyday tasks without falling or feeling unsteady. Good balance helps you walk, climb stairs, and stand without wobbling.

What is Posture?

Posture refers to the way you hold your body while standing, sitting, or lying down. Proper posture means aligning your body correctly to reduce strain on your muscles and ligaments. It’s not just about standing up straight; it’s about maintaining a position that supports your body’s natural curves.

Common Symptoms of Balance and Posture Problems

Recognizing the signs of balance and posture issues is the first step toward addressing them. Here are some common symptoms:

Nausea: Feeling queasy or sick to your stomach when moving or changing positions.

Symptoms of Posture Problems

Back Pain: Persistent pain in the lower or upper back due to poor alignment.
Neck Pain: Discomfort or stiffness in your neck, often from slouching or leaning forward.
