Posture is how you position your body when standing, sitting, or laying down
Poor posture is positioning yourself in an unnatural way that places additional strain on your muscles and ligaments. For example, when you slump in front of the computer, you may feel relaxed at first, but your shoulders will be hunched, and your neck will creep forward. If you stay in this position for too long, you may begin to experience a sore neck, lower back pain, and tense shoulder muscles as well as headaches.
At the clinic, we take great care to assess your posture and alignment and part of the initial examination involves using our digital postural analysis software which provides visual confirmation as to where postural improvements are required.
This helps us to tailor your treatment to specifically suit your needs.
Client Reviews
I would highly recommend Chris Ross Chiropractic. He is very professional and friendly. Prior to visiting Chris, I was in a lot of pain and my posture was not as it should be. With regular visits he has improved both which has improved my quality of life. I cannot recommend him enough. The treatment is really great value for money too.Kerry Batchelor
I undertook treatment for posture and muscle problems and after initial consultation undertook a block of treatment which has resulted in a vast and noticeable improvement. I found Chris to be professional, knowledgeable, friendly and reassuring and would recommend him to anyone experiencing any problems. I’m able to sleep better and my posture has improved and the niggling aches and pains I grew accustomed to have with treatment and further treatment increasingly few and far between. Great job Chris!David B
Top man. I had work related issues with back and neck since lockdown in March with headaches every day. Thorough first session which also revealed that I had high blood pressure which gratefully is now under control. Gentle treatment every time. No headaches for over 3 months and a complete rethink on my work set up at home. Now just going for check-ups. Thanks Chris. Recommended.Tom Atkins
Really helpful chiropractor. Got rid of my headaches in 3 treatments. Went through my home office posture and came up with some great solutions. Spiky ball which was free has given my lower back much relief too. Would recommend.Mandy Gregson
The sessions with Chris have helped enormously with correcting bad posture from years of desk work. Professional, yet friendly manner from all at the business. Easy to find with plenty of parking nearby.Sue Burgess
