Postural Correction in Victoria

At Aria Health and Wellness, we believe that most biomechanical issues are strongly associated with poor posture and spinal structure.

Many of us know that our posture could be better however, we do not always realize the negative impact it can have on our spine and biomechanics.

While you may think you have perfect posture, we dive deep to uncover whether your posture is just ‘aesthetic’. This means that you can look like you’re standing tall and sitting up straight, but may have weak muscles underneath and your spine has simply adapted.

In the practice, we aim to restore posture and spinal function with focused adjustments, Chiropractic biophysics traction, exercises, and lifestyle changes.

Causes of Poor Posture

Let’s face it, many of us sit behind a desk for hours each day-and then sit on our couch to watch TV after that. Our bodies were designed to move, and when we don’t move enough, our spine adapts to our new posture. The muscles that are supposed to support our spine and bones become weak, letting our body slip out of proper alignment.

In addition to our daily lives, injuries can cause poor posture and spinal alignment, especially when something isn’t restored to proper pre-injury function.

How We Help

We offer a catered, focused solution to posture correction at Aria Health and Wellness. Your first visit will begin with an overall health assessment and x-rays may be necessary to help determine the root cause of your posture problem. In addition to your back, we’ll look at your hips, feet and jaw as we want to uncover what’s really going on in your body.

Next, we’ll come up with a plan unique to your needs, which may consist of chiropractic adjustments, CBP traction, decompression therapy, soft tissue work like Active Release Therapy, focused stretches and exercises, and lifestyle suggestions. We’ll also give ergonomic insight to your workstation if need be.
