The rst postural deviation we will discuss is forward head posture. This is a common

problem that affects many people, especially those who spend a lot of time in front of a
computer or other electronic devices. Forward head posture is characterized by a
forward positioning of the head and neck, which causes strain on the neck and upper
back muscles. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor
posture habits, weak neck muscles, and structural abnormalities.

Another common postural deviation is rounded shoulders. This condition is
characterized by a forward positioning of the shoulders, which can cause strain on the

upper back and neck muscles. Rounded shoulders can be caused by a variety of
factors, including poor posture habits, weak upper back muscles, and structural
abnormalities.

The third postural deviation we will discuss is anterior pelvic tilt. This condition is
characterized by an excessive forward tilt of the pelvis, which can cause strain on the
lower back muscles. Anterior pelvic tilt can be caused by a variety of factors, including

poor posture habits, weak hip exor muscles, and structural abnormalities.

Finally, we will discuss scoliosis, which is a curvature of the spine. Scoliosis can be
caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, poor posture habits, and structural
abnormalities. This condition can cause pain and discomfort, as well as a variety of

other health problems.

In conclusion, postural deviations are a common problem that affects many people.

They can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor posture habits, muscle
imbalances, and structural abnormalities. By understanding the causes of these
postural deviations, health professionals can develop effective treatment plans that will
help their patients improve their posture and reduce their risk of developing other health

problems.
