Since the outbreak of COVID-19, city dwellers have become increasingly reliant on electronic devices. With mobile phone usage on the rise and “Work from Home” becoming the new norm, these lifestyle changes have made it easier for us to develop poor posture habits—often leading to neck, shoulder, and back pain.

When such pain accumulates over time, it can severely affect our quality of life and may also cause issues such as joint stiffness and reduced muscular endurance. That’s why we recommend those with poor posture habits to consider joining a Postural and Alignment Correction Program. By improving your posture and building healthy daily habits, you can effectively relieve and prevent posture-related pain.

Why Postural and Alignment Correction is Right for You

We firmly believe that everyone can benefit from postural correction. Common complaints like neck, shoulder, and back pain are often linked to poor posture, and a targeted programme can help prevent these issues from worsening—or even occurring in the first place.

For athletes, postural correction offers insight into muscular imbalances. By identifying weak muscle groups, training can become more focused and performance enhanced.

Common Postural Issues (including but not limited to)

Rounded Shoulders: The shoulders slouch forward from their natural position, creating a hunched posture. This causes the back muscles to overstretch and the chest muscles to tighten.
Forward Head Posture (“Text Neck”): The head protrudes forward, causing the chin to stick out. This posture creates muscular imbalances in the neck.
Scoliosis: A sideways curvature of the spine. Treatment options vary depending on the degree of curvature.
Lumbar Lordosis (Anterior Pelvic Tilt): The pelvis tilts forward, tightening the hip flexors and increasing pressure on the lumbar spine.
Kyphosis / Hunchback: Excessive backward curvature of the spine, often leading to muscular imbalances in the upper back.

Benefits of Postural and Alignment Correction

Participating in our programme offers several key benefits:

Developing proper posture habits
Reducing and preventing chronic pain
Improving joint flexibility
Increasing muscular strength and endurance
Enhancing day-to-day physical function and overall body mechanics

Personalised Assessment and Correction Process

The first step of the programme is a comprehensive postural assessment, where we carefully observe and analyse your body structure and movement patterns. Assessment items include:

Spinal curvature analysis
Dynamic movement testing
Evaluating weight distribution, rotational angles, and stance width

After the assessment, we will create a tailored correction plan incorporating the following three treatment approaches:

Physiotherapy

Our qualified physiotherapists will design a personalised treatment plan based on your physical needs. We address specific pain areas and joint issues, integrating other therapies as necessary to achieve the best outcome.

Sports Massage

Targeted at pain caused by poor posture, our sports massage therapy uses deep tissue techniques, myofascial release, radiofrequency therapy, and stretching exercises to relax tight muscles and relieve delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

Clinical Pilates

Using specialised equipment and appropriate resistance, Clinical Pilates helps strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance overall body stability. This low-impact yet effective approach is ideal for posture correction or functional training. Movements and intensity are customised by our pilates instructor according to your condition and goals.
