Preventing injuries on and off the field!

Athletes are at a higher risk for posture problems.

All student athletes need their posture evaluated to prevent injury. Recently, we’ve had some parents asking us about their how their kid’s posture might be affecting their health and performance in their sports. We had a family bring in their daughters, both beach volleyball players, for headaches. Right away it was obvious to us that their poor posture was to blame for their pain and tiredness. These tall student athletes had posture problems: a forward head and slumped shoulders. It affected not only their sport, but their ability to focus in school as well. So we made this list of reasons why all student athletes need their posture evaluated in order to prevent injury and maximize their performance!

5 Reasons Why Student Athletes Need Their Posture Evaluated:

  1. STUDENTS are at risk of postural problems because of cell phone use, carrying heavy backpacks, sitting in class, and studying at home over a book or laptop.  
  2. STUDENT ATHLETES are at risk of poor posture due to falls, collisions, and high demands on the body.
  3. Student athletes carry both of these risk factors, and bad posture affects performance in both academics and sports. Pain (headaches, neck/ shoulder pain, back/hip pain) often results from bad posture. It distracts from academic and athletic challenges. These symptoms can become severe enough to cause student athletes to miss school or athletic competition! 
  4. If left untreated, poor posture gets worse as you age and can cause chronic pain, disability, and deformity. Poor posture is linked to spine degeneration (arthritis) and long term health issues. 
  5. If we catch it now, it’s easier to fix! Children and teens are more flexible than adults. So student athletes are GREAT candidates for posture correction if they need it! Good posture will make your child a better student athlete, and set them up for a brighter future for whatever your child wants to do next!

    We offer free consultations and posture evaluations for student athletes, because we believe their spinal health is so important for their development and success in school and sports. Click here to book an initial consult and mention this email when scheduling!
