The Importance of Good Posture

The importance of good posture cannot be stressed enough in modern times. It extends far beyond our outward appearance and aesthetics. Your posture is an indication of muscle balance and spinal alignment. Chiropractors around the world are seeing a sharp rise in health problems arising from poor posture. Especially in children with the rise in computer games and electronic device use.

Chiropractors often see cases where postural problems initiate a chain of events that can result in unnecessary pain and stiffness, stress on other parts of the body, and time off work. The issue is becoming more relevant as we tend to spend more time at work. However, bad posture can also be problematic at home after hours, affecting parents and children.

Your Chiropractor can provide professional assistance in achieving and maintaining good posture with:

• A personalised stretching and exercise program that is tailored specifically to you, bracing and/or taping techniques.
• Core-stability exercises.
• Ergonomic advice for your work and home environments.

Our team of Chiropractors is specially trained to evaluate your posture. Chiropractic treatment programs including postural advice, adjustments and rehabilitation exercises help to re-establish a flexible, strong and pain-free posture.
