Physiotherapy Posture Correction
Physiotherapy Posture Correction For A Better Movement And Function
The physiotherapy Posture Correction Dandenong South focuses on enhancing your posture, movement control, strength and mobility and all aspects of your everyday function. Inadequate posture can be caused by sitting for long periods, using a computer, repetitive actions, past injuries, decreased physical activity or limited movement. As time goes on, these can lead to neck pain, shoulder tension, stiff back and pain.
Physiotherapy is not just about “sitting straight” but how your body moves when you are sitting at your desk. A bespoke evaluation will be able to identify any areas that may be a strength, mobilising or improving movement control as part of our wider musculoskeletal physiotherapy service. Therapeutic exercises, mobility training, strengthening, movement retraining, and practical ergonomic tips may be included in treatment.
What’s Physiotherapy Posture Correction?
Physiotherapy Posture Correction is a personalised method which works on improving movement patterns, physical capacity and functional posture. Your physiotherapist may assess how your posture and movement are affected by different physical and lifestyle factors, including:
- Resistance to fatigue of the muscles.
- Mobility of joints and spine.
- Flexibility
- Workstation setup
- Sitting and standing habits
- Previous injuries
- Exercise routines
- Repetitive movements
- Movement control
Depending on your assessment, posture correction physiotherapy may include strengthening exercises, mobility exercises, stretching, manual therapy, movement retraining and education. The goal is to help you to shift your body around more comfortably and confidently, rather than to make any one posture your only posture.

- Improved movement awareness
- Better postural endurance
- Increased muscle strength
- Improved joint and muscle mobility
- Better movement control
- Greater flexibility
- More comfortable everyday movement
- Increased confidence in physical activity
Treatment is dependent on the symptoms and physical assessment and rehabilitation goals.
Posture Correction for Neck, Shoulder and Back Pain
Neck, shoulder or back discomfort can be a problem with prolonged computer use, driving, sitting and repetitive activities. Physiotherapist skills in posture can determine how parts of your body function with your typical activities.
As part of your physiotherapist’s assessment they may evaluate:
- Neck movement and mobility
- Shoulder range of movement
- Upper-back mobility
- Muscle strength
- Core control
- Functional movement
- Work-related activities, particularly relevant for patients managing discomfort through our work injuries program
Treatment might involve exercises for the neck, strengthening of the upper back, strengthening of the neck, and functional movement training and/or exercises to control the shoulder. If discomfort remains or it recurs, a physiotherapy assessment can be useful to determine if there are issues with posture, movement, strength or other physical factors.
Correct Posture Exercises & Workplace Tips!
Strength, mobility and endurance are often factors that affect movement control and so exercise is often part of Physiotherapy Posture Correction. Your exercise program should be based on your individual assessment rather than a generic routine.
Depending on your needs, exercises may include:
- Upper-back strengthening
- Core strengthening
- Shoulder blade control exercises
- Neck mobility exercises
- Chest and shoulder flexibility exercises
- Hip mobility exercises
- Balance exercises
- Functional strengthening
- Movement-control exercises
Dry needling may also be performed along with exercise for some patients, to help relieve any muscle tension they may be experiencing.
Ergonomic tips may be useful for people who work in an office. As it turns out, your physiotherapist may give you helpful advice about the placement of your chair, table, monitor, keyboard and mouse. It’s important to change body positions or get up to move throughout the day to avoid sitting or lying down for long periods of time. That’s basically what it comes down to.
