Postural Correction
What is Postural Correction?
Postural correction is a physiotherapy treatment that focuses on improving the way your body moves and aligns during everyday activities. Poor posture can develop gradually through prolonged sitting, repetitive movements, workplace habits or muscle imbalances, often leading to pain and unnecessary strain on your joints and muscles.
At Kings Cross Physiotherapy, we assess your posture, movement patterns and lifestyle to identify the underlying causes of your symptoms. We then create a personalised treatment programme to improve your posture, restore movement and reduce the risk of recurring problems.
