Postural stress 21 Feb 2025

Postural stress is the stress on our bodies as a result of inefficient posture, repetitive movements or prolonged time in the same positions; often as a result of work environments. It is difficult to maintain a perfect posture all of the time. Yet the better our posture is, the less likely we are to develop aches and pains or more complex conditions in the future.

Massage therapy is an effective way to begin to change your posture patterning. That change begins by first becoming aware of your incorrect posture. A Remedial Massage Therapist is able to look at the alignment of different points in your body, such as head, shoulders, hips, and ankles then recommend a series of treatments to help release the tight muscles, allowing your body the time and space for change. It is also important to strengthen the areas that have become weakened which will allow you to hold your new improved posture.

All therapists at Serenity are Remedial Therapists and therefore qualified to assess your posture and help you make some changes, if this is what you are wanting.
