Are there any training institutions for posture correction training

Of course there is, and as people pay more and more attention to physical health in recent years, the number of such institutions has increased quite rapidly.

Most of the first batch of postural correction training were senior practitioners in the field of sports rehabilitation. Many of them had working backgrounds in hospital rehabilitation departments or professional sports teams. The teaching content ranged from basic skeletal and muscle anatomy logic, to assessment methods of different postural problems, to corresponding relaxation techniques and corrective training movements. The content was systematic. I have a friend who runs a yoga studio. In the past two years, I always encountered students asking about how to adjust the chest, hunchback, and false hip width. The conventional yoga training she originally learned was very shallow in this area, and she couldn't handle it at all. So she went to Beijing to find a teacher from the Department of Sports Rehabilitation of Beijing University of Physical Education to help her. After more than 20 days of solid training, I also added personal posture adjustment classes to the gym. The feedback was really good. After three or four classes, many office workers who had been sitting in the office every day found that the shoulder and neck pain and backache that they had been suffering from were relieved a lot.

However, there is currently no unified entry standard for this industry, and the situation is quite mixed. There are also many fast-moving training courses on the market, claiming that you can quickly obtain the "Advanced Posture Corrector" certificate in seven or ten days. The teachers who teach the courses cannot even figure out the difference between pathological scoliosis and postural deviations caused by bad habits. The teaching content is all a patchwork of Internet celebrity stretching exercises, and they do not even teach basic risk avoidance. After learning, students dare to go out to make adjustments for others, which can easily lead to trouble. I read a comment from a netizen before when I read Xiaohongshu. She had a mild lumbar disc herniation. She found an orthotist who had just graduated from this kind of crash course, but the orthotist suddenly gave her a sharp waist. The pain was so severe that she couldn't walk that day. When she went to the hospital for a review, she found that the herniation was even more serious.

The current industry’s views on this type of training are also quite divided: Most practitioners in the fields of fitness and yoga believe that this type of training fills the gap in conventional fitness teaching. After all, most ordinary users’ posture problems are caused by bad habits such as sitting for long periods of time, crossing their legs, and bowing their heads for a long time. They do not require surgery or clinical rehabilitation, and coaches who have undergone standardized training can completely help adjust them. , and the fees are much more affordable than hospital rehabilitation departments; however, doctors in orthopedics and rehabilitation departments are often more cautious, and feel that many training institutions have deliberately downplayed the medical risks of posture problems in order to quickly realize profits. Many people may appear to have simple shoulder heights, but may actually have structural lesions of the spine. Orthotists without a background in systematic medicine cannot judge at all, and indiscriminate pressing and breaking can easily delay treatment.

If you want to find a place to learn this technique, it is best to first choose an institution with teachers with formal medical and sports rehabilitation backgrounds. Don’t just focus on whether it is fast to obtain the certificate and whether the tuition is cheap; if you want to find an institution to adjust your posture, if the problem is serious, go to the hospital to take a X-ray to rule out pathological problems, and then find a reliable practitioner.
