Physical Therapy

Poor posture, particularly hyperkyphosis, a forward curvature of the upper back, affects 40% of adults over 60 and can lead to limited mobility, respiratory issues, and reduced quality of life. This article explores how targeted exercises, including Pilates and physical therapy, can strengthen spinal extensors and improve postural awareness, offering non-invasive solutions to enhance overall health and well-being.

At Inspire Health, your first physical therapy session is a comprehensive experience designed to set the foundation for your recovery. Prior to your appointment, you’ll complete online intake forms detailing your personal information, medical history, and therapy goals. During the session, your therapist will discuss your condition in depth, conduct a thorough evaluation—including assessments of range of motion, strength, neurological function, and movement quality—and explain your physical therapy diagnosis. Together, you’ll develop a personalized treatment plan, and you’ll receive a full treatment on the day of your evaluation, along with self-care information and exercises to perform at home.
