How does rib cage rotation impact overall spinal mobility and posture?
Rib cage rotation can affect spinal mobility and posture by influencing the position and movement of the vertebrae. When the rib cage rotates, it can cause the spine to twist and bend, potentially leading to misalignment and restricted movement. This can result in poor posture and increased strain on the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine, which may contribute to discomfort and decreased mobility.
What are the values of posture?
Good posture supports your spine, so your spine can better support your body. The "core" muscles of your trunk are strengthened with good posture, allowing you to twist, turn, bend, run, jump and walk without needless strain or sprain injuries.

What is the definition of good posture?
There are two main principles for getting good posture. 1. Practice correct posture in everyday activities: standing, sitting, laying, bending and walking. 2. A balanced exercise program that strengthens both antagonist and protagonist muscles. For example, if you do sit-ups to strengthen your stomach muscles you must do equal conditioning of the lower back (antagonist muscles). If you do not do this your body will become out of balance and you will develop poor posture. The fundamentals of good posture are a "straight" back and keeping your center of gravity over the load bearing joints, shoulders, hips, knees and ankles. For in depth information refer to "8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back" by Esther Gokhale, L.Ac. and "The Pain-Free Program" by Carey, Anthony M.A., C.S.C.S.. Both are excellent sources that teach how to develop good posture.
Following a car crash you have now been advised that in your lumber spine you have a mild s shaped scoliosos but preserved vertebral alignment what does this mean?
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine, which often is noticed in childhood to teen years. It creates an abnormal curve in the vertebral spine. In severe scoliosis, the spinal vertebra can twist or curve so drastically that it misaligns the vertebra and places pressure on the spinal cord. However, yours is mild with no misalignment of the spine, therefore, chances are that you have no spinal cord entrapment. However, you should talk to your doctor about whether you need a brace, physical therapy, or specific exercises to prevent the condition from getting worse.
