This therapy is called Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy, in which I use:

• a series of proprietary tests to analyze the patient’s posture

• custom designed Rothbart Proprioceptive Insoles to correct the posture

• computerized analyses to monitor the changes in the posture

Bad posture is an alignment problem.  Using a car analogy, when the suspension of a car is out of alignment, the weight of the car is unevenly distributed across the surfaces of the tires.  Some parts of the tires receive more weight than other parts.  This causes the tires to wear unevenly.  The thread is worn down (See Figure 1) until the performance of the tire fails completely.

Figure 1 - Tire that thread is worn down

Likewise, when you have bad posture, your body’s weight is unevenly distributed across the joint surfaces of your ankles, knees, hip, back, neck and jaw.  That is some areas of these joints receive more weight that other areas.

• this causes the cartilage within these joints to wear unevenly (See Figure 2)
  

• the cartilage is gradually worn down until the joint surfaces are destroyed (referred to as Osteodegenerative Arthritis)

• the end result is chronic, debilitating joint pain

Figure 2 - white arrow points to where the cartilage has worn unevenly

Correct posture maintains correct alignment of the weight-bearing joints.  This prevents the cartilage from wearing unevenly.  Your joints remain healthy,mobile and pain free.

So, you can see how important it is to correct your posture.
