What is the Ergonomic Posture Correction Program?
The Ergonomic Posture Correction Program is a specialized rehabilitation service designed to identify and correct
poor posture habits that contribute to neck pain, back pain, headaches, shoulder tension, and spinal fatigue.
Modern lifestyle factors such as prolonged computer use, phone use, driving, and sedentary work
often create biomechanical stress on the spine.
This program focuses on restoring proper alignment, improving muscle balance, and teaching healthy posture strategies
to prevent chronic pain and long-term spinal problems.
Common Symptoms of Poor Posture
- Neck pain or stiffness
- Upper back and shoulder tightness
- Lower back pain, especially after sitting
- Forward head posture
- Rounded shoulders or hunched upper back
- Fatigue when standing or sitting upright
- Headaches caused by neck tension
- Reduced mobility in the neck, thoracic spine, or hips
Causes of Postural Problems
- Prolonged sitting at a desk
- Incorrect workstation setup
- Weak core, back, and neck stabilizing muscles
- Imbalances between front and back muscles
- Heavy backpack or incorrect carrying habits
- Poor sleep posture
- Frequent forward-flexed head position (phone/tablet use)
- Sedentary lifestyle
Diagnosis
Diagnosis includes a detailed posture analysis, movement assessment, muscle imbalance testing,
ergonomic lifestyle review, and evaluation of spinal mobility and strength.
A personalized correction plan is then created for long-term improvement.
