Posture assessment

Posture

Perfect posture means your body is working in harmony and in balance with gravity, helping you and not hindering you. Poor posture leads to back ache, neck ache and other day-to-day problems. A posture assessment will show you what is right and what is wrong and will indicate what you need to do to correct your posture. You will need to undress down to underwear/ shorts or sports bra if you prefer, and the assessment will only take 20 minutes.
