Nearly 30% of French people suffer from chronic pain. They compromise the well-being and handicap the daily life of those affected. Fortunately, today, there are many solutions to relieve them. However, it happens that despite all the medical appointments with specialists, medications, non-pharmacological treatments, \u2026 Nothing works. In this situation, to relieve the pain, it is necessary to understand the cause. Either be able to detect the malfunction at the source in order to deal with it. \n<\/p>

It is precisely to help this type of case that posturology experts have developed the postural assessment. \n<\/p>

<\/p>

The postural assessment, what is it?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>

the postural assessment<\/strong> is a comprehensive examination that consists of study the whole posture<\/strong> of an individual. This clinical examination is a diagnostic tool<\/strong> for the practitioner. It is not intended to treat the postural disorder, the pain or any pathology but to detect where the problem comes from. \n<\/p>

It takes place in several stages, in order to analyze the upright postural system<\/strong> (S.P.A.) of the person as a whole. Indeed, the SPA is what allows the human body to maintain postural balance: standing, static or moving, in space. And this system has 6 sensory sensors (feet, eyes, ears, jaw, skin, joints) that must be analyzed separately to find out which ones are causing the problem. After having carried out all the tests, the posturologist is able to determine the sensor or sensors that are at the origin of the imbalance and to make a complete postural diagnosis. This diagnosis allows the practitioner and his patient to determine the appropriate medical solutions to treat the sensors involved. \n<\/p>

The importance of diagnosing sensor asynchrony<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>

When a sensory sensor is out of order or malfunctions, it affects the whole posture: the head, shoulders, hips and feet are no longer aligned. Even if, of course, the body adapts to compensate, pain can still appear. It seems hard to imagine but a scar, a misaligned jaw, flat feet, etc., can alone lead to an imbalance that will impact the whole posture and therefore cause greater problems. \n<\/p>

Hence the importance of posturology<\/a><\/strong> and postural balance: this is the way to detect which sensors cause poor posture. From there, the specialist knows the reason for the postural imbalance and therefore the pain.<\/p>

How is a postural assessment carried out?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>

The assessment is divided into 3 stages in order to have a global vision of an individual’s balance capacities and therefore allow a complete postural diagnosis. \n<\/p>

Step 1: classification of postural imbalances<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>

This first step allows determine the class of postural imbalance<\/strong> as well as a diagnostic orientation of the incriminated sensor(s). \n<\/p>

It consists of an examination Vertical of Barr\u00e9<\/a><\/strong> which is a must in posturology. \n<\/p>
