Posture Management
Posture Management refers to the assessment and therapeutic support of an individual’s body position across all settings — lying, sitting, and standing — to promote comfort, function, and prevent complications..
What is Posture Management?
It is especially important for people with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injury, where muscle weakness, spasticity, or sensory deficits can lead to poor alignment, pain, and reduced participation in daily life.
Posture is both dynamic (during movement) and static (during rest), and poor posture can affect breathing, digestion, communication, sleep, and mobility.
Postural issues may arise due to:
- Muscle imbalance or weakness
- Spasticity or contractures
- Neurological damage affecting motor control
- Prolonged immobility or poor positioning
- Pain, fatigue, or sensory impairments
Without intervention, poor posture can lead to deformities, pressure sores, discomfort, and reduced independence..
At Physio Matters our Posture Management Programme is designed to support clients with complex needs through:
- 24-hour postural care planning – addressing positioning during sleep, rest, and activity
- Specialist seating and mobility assessments
- Stretching and strengthening programmes to reduce contractures
- Education for carers and families on safe positioning
- Use of therapeutic equipment to support alignment
Our goal is to protect body shape, reduce pain, and enhance participation in everyday life.
