POSTURAL PROBLEMS
Poor posture or sustained injury or trauma of the body may affect the ability of our musculoskeletal system to work in harmony
Common Musculoskeletal Consequences as a Result of Poor Posture Include:
- Neck and Back Pain
- Headaches
- Poor Flexibility
- Muscular Fatigue
- Joint Irritation
- Rounded Shoulder or Slumped Sitting Posture

Osteopathic treatment can assist by assessing the body to help identify the cause and effect of the postural strain and alleviate symptoms of the postural problems experienced. Treatment combined with advice on stretching and rehabilitation will assist in an overall management plan to improve posture.
