Posture & Muscle Balance Assessment and Correction
Improve your posture, reduce pain, and move with greater ease with Peak Physio Wellington's Posture and Muscle Balance Assessment and Correction service. Whether you're uncomfortable from long hours at a desk or looking to optimise athletic performance, we address the root causes — not just the symptoms.
Why Posture & Muscle Balance Matter?
Poor posture and muscle imbalances place long-term strain on your body. Left untreated, they can contribute to chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, muscle tension and fatigue, reduced flexibility, headaches, nerve compression, and increased injury risk. Our assessment helps you understand how your body moves, identifies areas of weakness or compensation, and provides a targeted plan to correct them.
This service suits office workers with neck or back pain, athletes wanting better movement efficiency, people recovering from injury or surgery, teenagers experiencing postural changes, and anyone with repetitive strain or a sedentary lifestyle.
Who Can Benefit?
We conduct a detailed analysis of your posture and movement, including full-body postural assessment in standing, sitting, and dynamic positions, muscle strength and flexibility testing, functional movement screening, and identification of imbalances or overuse patterns. From there, we develop a tailored correction plan covering exercises, manual therapy, and education.
What's Involved in an Assessment?
Postural education and ergonomics advice, specific strengthening and stretching exercises, functional movement training, manual therapy or soft tissue release, and core stability work — all designed around your body, your goals, and your lifestyle.
