Posture assessment and correction:

Poor posture can affect the way we feel and can make us more prone to joint, bone, ligament and soft tissue injuries. A good posture also provides appropriate positioning for our inner organs. Keeping your body in the correct alignment gives our lungs the space they need for full expansion, improving breathing, and keeping abdominal muscles tight. Prolonged uneven alignment also results in more wear and tear on our body as we age. Various occupations and physical activities can put us at different degrees of risk.

The strain on the spine, muscles and uneven stress on the joints can lead to debilitating and permanent damage. Studies found 95% of lower and middle back pain is due to bad posture while standing, sitting and exercising. Bad posture is often a learned habit, and in most cases it can be corrected. We can undertake postural assessment for you and prescribe correction massage treatment, correction exercise, or both depending on your needs.
