vo-ocular reflex, vestibulo-ocular reflex, cervico-ocular reflex, and cervical somatosensory reflex) Their goal is to maintain a level head position in relation to visual field or to the neck and truck. The body orients itself from a top down fashion so correcting head and neck position is the first step to spinal correction. The rest of the body’s position is going to be a compensation for the head position.
Neurology of Posture, Spinal Alignment, and Scoliosis –
Posture/ Spinal configuration is controlled by involuntary postural neurological reflexes.
The Spinal vertebral column develops, functions, and adapts to gravity for an upright posture and optimal load bearing configuration. Reflexive components for postural control are found in skin, joint receptors, somatic
graviceptors, and baroreceptors throughout the body. The majority of reflexive postural control mechanisms are located within the head and neck region. Visual, vestibular, and joint mechanoreceptors are primary contributors in the modulation of static upright posture and spinal configuration. Each of these input sources detects and responds to specific types of postural stimulus and each region has specific pathways by which it communicates with other postural reflexes and regions of the central nervous system. These postural reflexes contribute to the development of a postural body scheme in relation to gravity and communication between involuntary neurological postural controlling components.
Spinal configuration and posture is controlled and coordinated by a complex accumulation of involuntary neurological postural reflexes These involuntary reflexes must be stimulated to cause the body to change positions involuntarily. Rehabilitation of the involuntary reflexes via a spinal weighting system is how the human spinal and posture can be improved or corrected toward an ideal spinal configuration.
When applying a spinal weighting system you are creating new environmental stimuli for the nervous system to adapt and right itself toward an optimal position to distribute the change in gravitational force. This causes the firing of the involuntary reflexes and
creates neuroplasticity over the time and frequency of the weighting stimuli allowing the body to learn and acquire a new and more optimal spinal configuration. This is the most challenging and experience orientated part of the treatment protocol especially with complex scoliosis patients. You will learn these on a case by case basis as you begin to truly comprehend neuromuscular reeducation or sensorimotor integration training.
