Correction of posture

Patient History

Sergey V. came to the primary consultation in our center with complaints of abnormal posture and periodic pulling pain in the shoulders and neck. In spite of a very active lifestyle, soccer and running, in the last few months there was a discomfort in the collar area, shoulders. A stifle formed. The main reason, as it turned out, was the new work in the office. Prolonged, uncomfortable position when working on a computer led to a breakdown of muscle balance – a changed line of shoulders, shoulder blades. Maintaining a neck for a long period of time in one position has led to overloading of the neck muscles. There was a slight spasm of the neck muscles until the end of the day.
