Long hours at a desk can leave your neck, shoulders or lower back feeling stiff, sore or uncomfortable. Rather than focusing on finding the ‘perfect’ posture, we look at the bigger picture: how you move, your strength and capacity, your work demands and the habits that shape your day.
There isn’t one ‘perfect’ posture that everyone needs to maintain. For many people, regularly changing position, staying active and building strength and capacity can be more useful than trying to sit perfectly throughout the day.
Our approach focuses on understanding how your work environment, movement, strength and daily habits may be contributing to your symptoms, then identifying practical strategies that fit into your working day.
If you’re searching for posture correction in Melbourne, our approach is focused on posture support rather than trying to achieve one ‘perfect’ position. This may include assessment, movement and strengthening strategies, and practical changes to help you introduce more variety into your working day.
Your care starts with understanding you and the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. From there, we develop an individualised management plan based on your needs, goals and the demands of your working day.
We look at how you sit, stand and move, along with your mobility, strength, work environment and the demands of your usual week.
Where appropriate, hands-on treatment may be used as part of your care to address areas of pain, stiffness or muscular tension.
Strength, mobility and movement exercises may be incorporated into your plan based on your assessment findings and individual goals.
Practical strategies such as changing positions regularly, movement breaks and adjustments to your work set-up can help you introduce more movement and variety throughout your day.
