Posture Correction
Posture Correction Assessments
Our posture assessments are incorporated into every Physiotherapy, Osteopathy + Podiatric Biomechanics consultation.
Sit Taller. Stand Stronger. Move Better.
Good posture involves training the body to align to positions where the least strain is applied to muscles, joints and ligaments.
Our musculoskeletal clinicians will always analyse your posture as part of a biomechanical assessment to help identify and reduce any associated pain and injury.
We also carry out ergonomic assessments to analyse posture in the workplace, providing feedback on body positioning to help you create a workstation that promotes good postural alignment.
Key Treatments:
- Manual therapy to help normalise joint and muscle range of motion.
- Exercise rehabilitation to build required muscle strength and endurance (Clinical Pilates, Strength training +/or home exercise programs).
- Kinesiology tape or a postural brace to ensure adequate nerve extensibility and spacial awareness.
For your initial appointment, we recommend seeing either one of our physios or osteos, as they are trained in accurately assessing for movement restrictions and postural changes. Our team operates collaboratively, and if your initial practitioner believes that you would benefit from seeing another practitioner (e.g. a massage therapist, Pilates, or strength based Physio), they will guide you through the process to ensure you receive a customised treatment plan that best suits your needs.
Our team will work collaboratively to improve your posture holistically through a combination of manual therapy aimed at normalising joint and muscle range of motion, coupled with exercise rehabilitation, which may include Clinical Pilates, strength training, and/or home exercises to develop the necessary muscle strength and endurance to ensure long-term results.
