Poor posture is one of the most common causes of spinal pain. Our modern lifestyle, with lots of sitting and device use, encourages positions that place extra load on the neck and lower back. This can cause pain in the neck, shoulder and arm, the mid back, and the lower back and leg. The reassuring news is that posture is not fixed, and with the right guidance it can be improved.
Good posture is about alignment that lets your muscles and joints work at their best. There is no single perfect position, and no one holds ideal posture all the time, but a general awareness makes a real difference. When posture is poor, pressure on the neck and lower back increases, some muscles tighten and others weaken, and this combination can lead to pain. Both sitting and standing habits play a part, and small changes to how you sit, set up your workspace and stand can ease a lot of tension.
This service, delivered through Physiofit, uses active management rather than passive treatment. After a detailed assessment, one of our physiotherapists identifies your specific problem areas and the posture pattern you fit, then designs a custom exercise program to stretch what is tight and strengthen what is weak. Sessions are usually one on one with a physiotherapist or exercise physiologist and can include core stability, flexibility and postural retraining using tools such as real time ultrasound, Swiss balls, therabands and foam rollers. The focus throughout is on giving you the knowledge and skills to help yourself.
We carry out a detailed postural assessment to identify your problem areas and the posture pattern you fall into. From there you receive a custom exercise program, usually in one-on-one sessions, that stretches tight muscles and strengthens weak ones. We also coach you on how to sit, stand and set up your workspace to reduce strain.
Suitable for people whose neck, back, shoulder or arm pain is linked to posture, prolonged sitting or desk work. It is ideal if you prefer an active, exercise-based approach that teaches you to manage the problem yourself.
