Postural Issues Treatment
Comprehensive assessment and treatment for poor posture, forward head position, rounded shoulders, and postural-related pain.
Understanding Postural Issues
Posture refers to the position in which you hold your body while standing, sitting, or lying down. Good posture involves training your body to stand, walk, sit, and lie in positions where the least strain is placed on supporting muscles, ligaments, and joints during movement or weight-bearing activities.
In modern life, poor posture has become increasingly common due to prolonged sitting, computer work, smartphone use, and sedentary lifestyles. Over time, poor posture can lead to muscle imbalances, joint stress, pain, and various musculoskeletal problems affecting your neck, shoulders, back, and overall health.
Common Postural Problems

Flat Back

Lateral curvature of the spine creating asymmetry
