- Dynamic posture affects how well you move and your risk of injury while playing sports. According to Vern Gambetta, owner of Gambetta Sports Performance, any misalignment in any part of your body influences how other body parts move, even if they are far apart. For example, in you have stiff hip joints and weak buttocks while running, your hamstrings and other leg muscles will compensate, causing them to fatigue and ache. This eventually causes lower-back and shoulder pain.
- Physical therapists, personal trainers, chiropractors and other physical health practitioners often use dynamic posture as a way to assess a patient's or a client's movement patterns. The professional can then establish an initial exercise or treatment plan for the patient or client to address any weakness or misalignment of the body.
- According to Carey, one way to improve dynamic posture and minimize injury is to perform corrective exercises daily that help strengthen weak muscle groups and establish proper movement patterns. Do these exercises as a warm-up before your workout and to balance your body after your workout.
