Posture Problems? Here’s How a Physiotherapist Can Help

Fix Bad Posture, Relieve Pain, and Reclaim Confidence

In today’s screen-centric world, poor posture is more than just a bad habit, it’s a silent health concern. Whether it’s forward head posture from scrolling, rounded shoulders from desk work, or lower back pain from prolonged sitting, bad posture can lead to chronic discomfort and long-term musculoskeletal issues.

At FitoFine Physiotherapy Clinic, we specialize in posture correction physiotherapy, offering personalized, science-backed solutions that restore alignment, relieve pain, and improve overall well-being.

Why Is Good Posture So Important?

Good posture means keeping your body in proper alignment to minimize strain on your muscles, joints, and ligaments. Here’s why it matters:

Reduces joint and muscle stress
Improves lung capacity and digestion
Enhances energy levels and focus
Prevents neck, shoulder, and back pain
Boosts physical performance and self-confidence

When posture is compromised, it leads to muscle imbalances, tension, and increased risk of injury.

Common Posture Problems We Treat at FitoFine

We help individuals of all ages manage and correct a wide range of postural issues, including:

  • Forward Head Posture: Caused by excessive screen time, resulting in neck strain and upper trap tightness.
  • Rounded Shoulders: Seen in sedentary lifestyles or imbalanced workouts, leading to limited shoulder mobility.
  • Kyphosis (Hunchback): An exaggerated upper back curve, often in older adults or individuals with osteoporosis.
  • Lordosis (Swayback): Excessive inward lower back curve that causes back pain and poor spinal support.
  • Pelvic Tilt: Misalignment of the hips due to weak core and tight hip flexors.
  • Text Neck: A modern condition marked by neck tension, stiffness, and frequent headaches due to excessive use of mobile & gadgets.

How Can Physiotherapy Correct Poor Posture?

At FitoFine, we don’t just treat symptoms; we address the root cause of your postural imbalance with a customised, evidence-based approach.

1. Comprehensive Postural Assessment

We begin with an in-depth evaluation to understand your unique posture issues:

  • Observation of sitting and standing alignment
  • Analysis of spinal curves and mobility
  • Gait and movement pattern assessment
  • Muscle strength and flexibility testing

2. Customised Exercise Plan

We create a structured plan to correct posture and build long-term body awareness:

  • Strengthen: Core, back, and scapular stabilisers
  • Stretch: Chest, hip flexors, hamstrings, and neck muscles
  • Re-educate: Neuromuscular coordination and proprioception

Effective exercises include:
Chin tucks, wall angels, scapular retractions, pelvic tilts, thoracic extensions, core activation drills

3. Hands-On Manual Therapy

Our physiotherapists use targeted manual therapy techniques to relieve tension and improve mobility:
