Signs your posture may be causing problems
- Neck, upper back or lower back ache after sitting
- Headaches at the end of the work day
- Shoulders that round forward in photos
- Feeling stiff when you stand up after a long meeting
Common causes
Laptops at desk height, phones held low, chairs without good support, long periods without moving, and weak upper back and core muscles.
How we help
We assess your posture, flexibility and strength, then combine hands-on care for stiff joints with a short programme of exercises. We give practical advice on screen height, chair set-up and break routines that fits how you actually work.
For companies, we also run free workplace health talks and posture screenings.
How long it takes
Changing posture is a gradual process over weeks, but many people feel less stiffness quickly once their set-up improves.
Your first visit
Your first consultation takes about 25 to 30 minutes and costs $180 before GST. We listen to your history, examine you, explain what we find and what we recommend, and you decide whether to start care. No referral is needed, and insurance claims are supported.
When to see a doctor urgently
Please see a medical doctor or go to A&E (or call 995 in an emergency) if you have:
- Pain that wakes you at night or does not change with position
- Numbness or weakness in the arms or legs
Frequently asked questions
Can poor posture be corrected in adults?
Yes. Adults can improve posture with the right mix of joint care, strengthening and changes to daily habits.
Do posture correctors work?
Braces can remind you to sit up but do not build strength on their own. Exercises and a better set-up last longer.
Do you offer workplace talks?
Yes. We run free corporate health talks on posture and ergonomics. Message our corporate WhatsApp to arrange one.
