Conditions
Summary
The Posture Committee of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgery defines good posture as "that state of muscular and skeletal balance that protects the supporting structures of the body against injury or progressive deformity irrespective of the attitude (erect, lying, squatting, and stooping) in which these structures are working or resting." Under those conditions, the muscles will function most efficiently, and the Thoracic and abdominal organs will be in their optimal places.

Interventions
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a special instrument with beveled edges to assist the clinician in the evaluation and mobilization of soft tissue. Instruments are used in a multi directional stroking fashion applied to the skin at 30°-60° angles to detect soft tissue irregularities via the undulation of the tools. It has been purported to enhance proliferation of extracellular matrix fibro blasts, improve ion transport, and decrease cell matrix adhesions
