“Good posture is more than just standing up straight”
it’s a cornerstone of overall health and well-being. Poor posture, often unnoticed, can have significant long-term consequences for your body. At Trinity Rehab & Wellness, we specialize in physiotherapy and physical rehabilitation to help you regain and maintain proper posture for a healthier, pain-free life.
Signs of Poor Posture
Identifying poor posture can be tricky as it often develops gradually. Here are some common signs:
- Rounded shoulders: Shoulders slouch forward instead of staying aligned.
- Forward head position: Head protrudes beyond the natural alignment of the spine.
- Excessive swayback: Overarching of the lower back (lordosis).
- Uneven weight distribution: Putting more weight on one leg or hip while standing.
Symptoms of Poor Posture
Poor posture doesn’t just change how you look—it can significantly impact how you feel. Symptoms may include:
- Back pain: Particularly in the upper or lower regions.
- Neck and shoulder stiffness: Often accompanied by tension headaches.
- Fatigue: Inefficient posture puts extra strain on muscles, leading to tiredness.
- Reduced mobility: A lack of flexibility and joint stiffness.
- Poor balance: Increased risk of trips and falls.
