Posture & Sensory Processing Disorder

I came across an interesting article while searching for info on sensory processing disorder.

I suppose that's another benefit of his Neurosuit, which helps align his body and so helps his body learn what is supposed to be the right posture. With the right posture, the author reckons that there'll be less overload of stimuli to the central nervous system.

Wow! Interesting stuff. There's so much to learn about our body!

I've extracted the first 2 paragraphs below. The full article is on:

By Dr. Paul Drew, author of Red Carpet Posture


Where posture could make a difference with SPD is that it’s one less overload of stimuli going to the central nervous system and the brain. If a person is standing, moving, or sitting with incorrect posture and not in the correct alignment, he or she may experience an overload of stimuli.


People without SPD get used to being in an incorrect alignment or posture, and can filter out those signals of overstretching and tightness. Even though there are muscles that are adaptively tighter, normally that signal of tightness is ignored by the brain. With SPD, the signal won’t get processed out, and could be interpreted as pain.
