JOINT ALIGNMENT
Mobility and Flexibility
Joint alignment is the foundation of pain-free movement and overall physical well-being. When joints are properly aligned, the body moves efficiently, reducing strain on muscles and minimizing the risk of injury. However, misalignment can lead to discomfort, stiffness, and mobility issues. By restoring proper joint positioning, we can improve balance, stability, and overall function, helping you move with greater ease and confidence.
Why is Joint Alignment So Important?
Proper muscle and joint alignment is essential for optimal movement and overall function. Your body's ability to move efficiently relies on correct biomechanical positioning. When alignment is sound, muscles and joints work without unnecessary strain, reducing wear and tear and potentially delaying degenerative changes over time.
​
However, if you experience pain or restricted movement, misalignment may be causing other parts of your body to compensate. This can lead to increased stress, excessive load, and improper force distribution across the neuromuscular and skeletal systems, including fascia, muscles, nerves, joints, and connective tissue, further causing discomfort and dysfunction.
Maintaining Joint Health
Proper joint alignment is essential for maintaining balance, mobility, and overall musculoskeletal health. Misaligned joints can cause pain, stiffness, and instability, increasing the risk of injury. At Armos Integrated Therapy, our expert therapists use safe and effective techniques to restore joint alignment, improve balance, and enhance movement.

What Are The Factors That Affect Our Alignment?
Several factors can affect joint and muscle alignment, influencing posture, mobility, and overall physical function. These include:
1. Poor Posture
-
Slouching, hunching over screens, or improper sitting/standing habits can gradually shift joints out of alignment.
2. Muscle Imbalances
-
Weak or tight muscles can pull joints out of their natural position, leading to misalignment and restricted movement.
3. Injuries & Trauma
-
Accidents, falls, or repetitive strain injuries can alter joint positioning and affect movement patterns.
4. Improper Movement Patterns
-
Incorrect walking, running, or lifting techniques can place excessive stress on certain joints, leading to long-term misalignment.
5. Lack of Flexibility & Mobility
-
Stiff joints and tight muscles reduce the body's ability to maintain proper alignment, increasing strain on surrounding structures.
​6. Muscle Weakness or Fatigue
-
Weak core, glute, or postural muscles can cause instability and poor joint control, affecting balance and coordination.
​7. Aging & Degeneration
-
Over time, cartilage wear, arthritis, and osteoporosis can contribute to misalignment, affecting mobility and comfort.
8. Occupational & Lifestyle Factors
-
Prolonged sitting, heavy lifting, or repetitive motions can strain certain muscle groups and joints, leading to misalignment over time.
