Postural Correction – Supporting Better Posture for Spinal Health
Posture plays a vital role in musculoskeletal health, affecting how the body moves, functions, and maintains balance. Poor posture can contribute to neck pain, back discomfort, muscle tension, and joint stiffness.
At Marylebone Chiropractic Clinic, we provide postural correction as part of a holistic approach to support better alignment, mobility, and musculoskeletal well-being.
Why is Postural Correction Important?
Modern lifestyles, including desk-based work, prolonged screen use, and repetitive movements, can lead to postural imbalances. Some common posture-related concerns include:
✔️ Forward head posture – Common with excessive screen use
✔️ Rounded shoulders – Often linked to prolonged sitting or poor ergonomics
✔️ Lower back arching (hyperlordosis) – Associated with muscle imbalances
✔️ Uneven weight distribution – Standing or sitting with more weight on one side
How Postural Correction May Support Musculoskeletal Health
Postural correction focuses on improving alignment, mobility, and muscle balance to help support:
- Better spinal posture – Encouraging a neutral spine position
- Reduced muscle strain – Helping avoid unnecessary tension in the neck, shoulders, and lower back
- Improved movement patterns – Enhancing everyday mobility
- Injury prevention – Supporting long-term musculoskeletal function
Postural correction is often used alongside chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapy to create a well-rounded approach to spinal care.
