Posture

Posture, by definition, is the ability of a human being to stand upright on both feet while stationary or in motion. A person’s balance is not disturbed while standing or moving. If a person can stand on a floor and is in a positioning that is compatible with the environment in which he/she is in, if he/she does not lose his/her balance when moving or accelerating, this is because of the postural system.

The most important of the main data providers of the postural system are the sensors concentrated at a certain point on the skin of the soles of the feet, or cutaneous mechanoreceptors as they are called in medicine.

Then the retina, the musculoskeletal system and receptors in the skin, the vestibular system, the relationship between the upper and lower jaw and the full closure of the teeth are the structures that provide data to the postural system.

Sensors concentrated at a certain point on the sole of the foot may show regression (regression and deterioration) due to various musculoskeletal diseases, neurological diseases or age. After the detection of this regression by examination, treatment should be given to people of any age with a disorder.

Over 65 years of age, the sensors in the soles of the feet regress in all people. For this reason, special insoles should be used to revitalize the sensors.
When these insoles are used for a sufficient period of time, the sensors are reprogrammed, Balance and Posture improves and the risk of falling decreases.

These insoles are used for a completely different purpose than the orthopedic insoles used in many parts of the world, to reprogram posture using neurological pathways.

They are called “postural insoles” and should be worn for two years, both at home and outside.

One of the most positive influences on our posture is exercise and being physically active. Strong muscles around the spine help our balance and reduce neck and back pain.
