Things We Treat
Postural Problems
Desk-related fatigue, rounded shoulders and pain linked to sustained positions.
Postural pain is usually less about a 'wrong' posture and more about how long a position is sustained without variation. Tissues become sensitive when they're held under low-level load for hours at a time.
For many patients this shows up as neck, upper back and shoulder fatigue during long desk or driving days.
Common symptoms
- Aching between the shoulder blades late in the day
- Neck and shoulder tightness at the desk
- Headaches related to screen time
- Stiffness when standing up after long sitting
- Fatigue rather than sharp pain
Common causes
- Long unbroken periods in one position
- Poorly set-up workstations
- Reduced overall movement and strength
- Stress-related muscular guarding
- Structural conditions such as scoliosis
How we can help
- We assess your movement, strength and the way your day is structured, rather than simply telling you to sit up straight.
- Care combines hands-on treatment for symptom relief with practical workstation adjustments, movement breaks and strengthening so your body tolerates the positions your work demands.
Treatments we may use
- chiropractic
- remedial-massage
Frequently asked questions
- Is there one correct posture?
- No. The best posture is generally your next one — regular variation and movement tends to matter more than holding a single 'ideal' position.
- Do I need a referral to book?
- No referral is needed to see our chiropractors, massage therapists or Chinese medicine practitioners. You can book online at Richmond or Bundoora, or call our team if you're unsure who to see.
