I’m excited to share a recent case from my Barcelona practice near Sagrada Familia, where I helped a client overcome several postural challenges with a hands-on, personalized approach.
Addressing Upper Crossed Syndrome First
I began by addressing the client’s upper crossed syndrome, which was causing neck and shoulder tension. I strengthened the rhomboids and upper back muscles while releasing the pectoralis minor. This initial work corrected the forward-rounded shoulders and laid the foundation for the rest of the treatment.
Correcting Anterior Pelvic Tilt and Lower Crossed Syndrome
Next, I focused on the lower body issues. The client exhibited signs of anterior pelvic tilt—tight hip flexors, an overly arched lower back, and tight hamstrings. My approach included:
- Psoas Release: I used myofascial release techniques on the psoas to ease tension and help the pelvis realign.
- Hamstring Strengthening and Relaxation: First, I strengthened the hamstrings to support proper pelvic alignment, and then I applied post-relaxation techniques to gently release any residual tightness.
- Osteopathic Manipulation: I performed adjustments on the T2 vertebra, sacrum, and L4-L5 segment to realign the spine and pelvis, reducing lower back discomfort.
Healing an Ankle Sprain with Foot Massage
The client was also dealing with an ankle sprain. I incorporated gentle foot massages and mobilisation exercises to improve circulation, flexibility, and overall mobility, which supported their recovery.
The Outcome
After several sessions, the client experienced significant relief from pain and tension, along with noticeable improvements in posture and mobility. This case shows how a comprehensive, individualized approach can lead to lasting, positive change.
