Analysis of Posture of Japanese Children by Biotonix System

Recently cases concerning children’s posture is on the rise. Teachers of many other schools were also reporting a higher incidence of cases relating to posture. In 2000, Japanese economy newspaper showed 75% of elementary students have some form of posture problems. I see some children in the train these days and their posture is absolutely worse than before when we were kids. Some pediatrics and chiropractors started have started alerting the public about this problem. Actually there is not much data suggesting “children s posture is bad”, we just look at them and realize it. Many people are not too concern about finding a solution to this problem. Professor Kuwaoka from Souzougakuen University, has commented “bad posture makes the backbone warped”, creating various kinds of health problems. An analysis of their poor posture was performed by using a system invented by Biotonix in Canada. As a result, number of bad posture children was actually higher than once thought. Data that was gathered, suggests most children would continue having problems with their posture after the age of 9. 10 kids are receiving chiropractic adjustments now, although our research is far from completed, visual inspection showed their postures were improving. We conducted a follow up survey on 7 children out of 60 kids of different ages, but research needs to be conducted proof the details. A study comparing two groups, one group receiving chiropractic adjustments and the other not receiving chiropractic adjustments is scheduled for the future.
