Posture Correction & Postural Pain Treatment in St Albans
Poor posture can contribute to neck, shoulder and back discomfort, especially if you spend long periods sitting, working at a desk or repeating the same movements each day.
At Statera Therapy in St Albans, we look beyond simply telling you to “sit up straight”. Your assessment focuses on how you move, how long you spend in certain positions, your strength, mobility and the everyday habits that may be contributing to your symptoms.
