Correct posture is the foundation of being relatively pain free throughout all stages of life. Early identification of posture problems and intervention to correct alignment and strengthen postural muscles results in upright posture and easier movement with less fatigue and pain.
Using correct posture technique is essential, particularly for adolescents and office workers to counter effects of modern life such as mobile device, prevent stress with study, long work hours and changing ergonomic environments.
Our physiotherapist will complete a comprehensive biomechanical analysis and identify weak and poorly controlled. The focus of treatment is activation and strengthening of muscles to enable upright effortless posture.
Treatment options for poor posture include:
- Deep neck muscle training
- taping
- pressure biofeedback
- strengthening of Lower trapezius and scapular repositioning
- abdominal core and gluteal controlled strengthening from positions of ease to more dynamic upright positions
