Poor posture in Amsterdam

Poor posture often develops gradually.
Your body adapts to the way you sit, stand and move — until that posture increasingly becomes your normal way of holding yourself.

You might recognise:

• your head and shoulders tending to move forward

• slouching when you sit

• standing or sitting unevenly

• finding it difficult or uncomfortable to stand upright

Why poor posture develops

Your posture isn't only determined by how you try to sit or stand.

If certain parts of your body aren't moving or functioning well, your body starts to compensate. Over time, these compensations can become visible in your posture.

That's why poor posture isn't always something you can fix simply by reminding yourself to sit up straighter.

How chiropractic care can help

During your appointment, we look at your posture as well as how your body moves and functions as a whole.

We assess where your body isn't moving as well as it should and which compensations may be affecting your posture.

With targeted chiropractic treatment, we help your body move and function better again.

The goal isn't to constantly correct yourself,
but for better posture to start feeling more natural.

What to expect

Your first appointment includes:

• a consultation

• a physical examination

• a postural assessment

• an explanation of what we find

If appropriate, we often start with your first treatment straight away.

At the beginning, it's usually helpful to come a little more frequently, so your body has a chance to respond and we can build on those changes.

Is this for you?

This approach may be a good fit if:

• you notice your posture gradually getting worse

• you constantly find yourself trying to correct your posture

• sitting or standing upright doesn't come naturally

• you want to address what's behind your posture rather than just forcing yourself to sit up straight
