Postural issues refer to the misalignment of the body that can result from habits, injuries, or underlying conditions. Poor posture can manifest as slouching, forward head posture, or uneven shoulders, leading to discomfort and pain in the neck, back, and shoulders. Over time, these postural imbalances can contribute to chronic pain, decreased mobility, and increased risk of injury. At Surge Wellness, we recognize the importance of proper posture for overall health and well-being, and we are dedicated to helping you correct these issues through tailored treatment strategies.
Many factors contribute to postural issues, including prolonged sitting, repetitive movements, and lack of awareness about body mechanics. Additionally, emotional stress and fatigue can also affect posture. Addressing postural problems early on is crucial to prevent the development of more severe complications. At Surge Wellness, we focus on identifying the underlying causes of your postural issues and developing a comprehensive treatment plan that not only alleviates discomfort but also promotes long-term postural health and functional movement.
At Surge Wellness, we employ a multi-faceted approach to treating postural issues through physiotherapy and registered massage therapy. Our physiotherapists begin with a thorough assessment of your posture and movement patterns to identify any imbalances or weaknesses. Based on this evaluation, we create a customized rehabilitation program that incorporates exercises aimed at strengthening weak muscles, improving flexibility, and enhancing awareness of proper body mechanics. Our goal is to promote a balanced posture that reduces strain on the body and minimizes pain.
In addition to exercise, our registered massage therapists play a vital role in addressing postural issues. Through techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy, we aim to alleviate muscle tension, release tight fascia, and restore proper function to the muscles involved in posture. This combined approach not only provides immediate relief from discomfort but also helps to retrain the body for improved posture over time. At Surge Wellness, we are committed to empowering you with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain good posture and enhance your overall well-being.
Physiotherapy is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including back pain, sports injuries, arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and neurological disorders. It helps with pain management and mobility improvement.
A typical physiotherapy session lasts between 45 minutes to an hour, depending on your treatment plan and the complexity of your condition.
In most cases, a referral is not required to see a physiotherapist. However, some insurance providers may require one for coverage purposes, so it’s best to check with your provider.
The number of sessions varies depending on the severity of your condition and your personal recovery goals. Your physiotherapist will assess your needs and recommend an appropriate treatment schedule.
