Postural improvement using core integration to lengthen myofascia.

Postural organization is controlled by the central nervous system in conjunction with the skeletal, muscular, and fascial systems. This paper explores the effects on static and dynamic postural misalignment of a neuromotor re-education intervention. In total, 13 control and 14 experimental subjects with postural deviations were studied. An individualized Dellagrotte core-integration intervention was performed with subjects in the experimental group over a period of 2 months. Twenty-five postural parameters were assessed pre- and post-intervention to give a global postural assessment score. There was significant improvement in the global postural score for the experimental group compared to the control group. Six core pathways are described along with the theoretical background from which they were developed.
