A goal leading to improving communication with the patient, cross-cultural aspect

The aim is to teach you how to communicate with adolescent individuals in a confident and sensitive way, in a way that is acceptable and comfortable for that person.

Prolonged carriage of a substantial backpack over an extended duration, lengthen screen time because of increase in phone usage, and sedentary lifestyle has the potential to induce alterations in postural alignment, muscular positioning, and may culminate in the development of postural abnormalities. Effective communication and the establishment of trust with adolescents and students assume paramount importance in this context. During the adolescent phase, adopting an appropriate approach for addressing these concerns is crucial. It is noteworthy that postural issues encountered during adolescence have implications not only in terms of aesthetics but also about internal health parameters such as muscular positioning, spinal alignment, and core muscle strength.

The purpose of this lesson is to familiarize you with the possible reactions of an adolescent, the psychological and social consequences of misalignment, how to deal with a misalignment, and what difficulties you may encounter in misalignment and therapy and how to overcome them.
