Frequently Asked Questions on Postural Restoration & Body Mechanics:

This therapy addresses a range of issues stemming from physical imbalances. This is particularly relevant today, as prolonged use of electronic devices can lead to "tech neck," which strains the spine and supporting muscles. Common issues we treat include:

• Chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain

• Muscle imbalances and tightness

• Poor posture and forward head position

• Recurring joint pain or injury

• Difficulty with lifting, bending, or twisting

Postural restoration focuses on correcting asymmetries and imbalances in your body’s alignment and movement patterns that contribute to pain. Body mechanics training involves learning how to move your body safely and efficiently during daily activities to prevent injury and fatigue.

We develop individualized programs after conducting a thorough postural assessment to identify your specific challenges. The approach emphasizes achieving muscle balance, correcting alignment, and educating you on healthy movement habits for long-term success.

Your therapy program is customized to help you regain optimal function and may include:

• Postural assessment and correction exercises.

• Breathing techniques to support core stability. Your diaphragm is a key core muscle, and training it with controlled breathing can improve stability.

• Functional movement training for daily activities.

• Manual therapy to release tight or restricted muscles.

• Ergonomic and body mechanics education.
