Good posture is more than just standing up straight—it affects how your body functions, reduces strain on joints, and prevents long-term pain. Whether you experience back pain, neck tension, or headaches, poor posture could be the underlying cause. At Body Form, we help clients correct their posture through expert physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates, improving movement, reducing discomfort, and preventing injuries.
How Poor Posture Affects Your Body
Sitting at a desk, looking down at your phone, or standing with uneven weight distribution can lead to:
Chronic back & neck pain – Slouching increases strain on your spine and muscles.
Headaches & jaw pain – Forward head posture places stress on the neck and jaw joints.
Reduced lung capacity – Poor posture compresses the diaphragm, affecting breathing.
Tight shoulders & muscle imbalances – Weak postural muscles cause discomfort and movement restrictions.
Increased risk of injury – Incorrect alignment places excess strain on joints and muscles.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
A physiotherapy assessment can identify postural issues and provide:
✅ Manual therapy & soft tissue release – Relieves muscle tension and improves mobility.
✅ Strength & mobility exercises – Targets weak areas to restore alignment.
✅ Postural retraining – Helps create long-term postural habits.
✅ Ergonomic & movement advice – Adjustments to workstations, standing habits, and movement patterns to maintain better posture daily.
