Poor Posture
Do you notice a persistent, unexplained ache? Does your body feel unbalanced, or do you catch yourself stooping or slouching more than you’d like? These could be signs of poor posture — something we’re seeing more and more in our clinic.
Poor posture often develops gradually, influenced by the daily stresses and habits of modern life. Long hours at a desk, physically demanding work, or repetitive, one-sided movements all place strain on your body. Over time, these stresses build up, affecting your posture and how your body
functions.

Why Posture Matters
Your posture is like a window into the health of your spine. When we assess your posture, it gives us important clues about areas of tension and strain. Your body is designed to move in balance, and when it’s forced to compensate, it works harder than it should. This overwork can lead to discomfort, injuries, and wear and tear over time.
Some of the common postural issues we see include:
- Forward head posture
- Neck hump
- Rounded shoulders
- Uneven shoulder height
- One hip higher than the other
- Feet turning in or out
- Scoliosis
We’re seeing postural problems more frequently, especially in younger patients, due to the increased time spent hunched over screens and mobile devices.

The Impact of Poor Posture
Postural imbalances don’t just affect how you look — they have a real impact on your physical performance and daily life. Whether it’s reduced power in a rugby scrum, discomfort during exercise, or just finding it harder to get through your workday comfortably, poor posture can hold you back from doing the things you love.

Frequently Asked Questions
Things people often ask about Posture Correction
Is it possible to correct thoracic hyperkyphosis in adults?
While treatment is most effective when started early, we’ve successfully helped patients of all ages improve their posture and slow the progression of degeneration. The key is consistent care, repetition, and patience.
How long does posture correction take?
Your specific timeline depends on the severity of your condition, age, and commitment to the recommended exercises. We can’t turn back the clock, but we can give you a better estimate after your evaluation. It also depends on how well your body responds to care.
Will I need X-rays as part of my evaluation?
Not necessarily. We will determine if imaging is necessary during your initial consultation. X-rays are helpful in getting a clearer idea of your spine’s condition and assessing the degree of kyphosis.
