        Postural habits
        
        Good postural habits in the adult are
        necessary to avoid postural pain syndromes and postural
        dysfunction.
        Also, careful follow-up in terms of flexibility and
        posture training exercises is important after trauma or surgery to prevent impairments from contractures and adhesions.
        In the child, good postural habits are important to avoid
        abnormal stresses on growing bones and adaptive changes in muscle and soft tissue.
        
        adaptive shortening of soft
        tissues and muscle weakness are involved
        The cause may
        be prolonged poor postural habits,
        or the dysfunction may be a result of contractures and adhesions formed during the healing of tissues after trauma or surgery.
        Stress to the
        shortened structures causes pain.
        In addition, strength and
        flexibility imbalances may predispose the area to injury or
        overuse syndromes that a normal musculoskeletal system
        could sustain.
        
        refers to the pain that results from mechanical stress
        when a person maintains a faulty posture
        for a prolonged period;
        the pain is usually relieved with activity.
        There are no impairments
        in functional strength or flexibility,
        but if the faulty posture continues,
        strength and flexibility imbalances eventually
        develop.
      - is a posture that deviates from
        normal alignment but has no structural impairments
