Posture Treatment in Winnipeg

In today’s digital age, where many people spend hours a day looking at their screens, posture can really suffer. The way we hold our heads while using our smartphones, tablets, and other devices can create significant strain on the neck and shoulders. Even a slight forward tilt adds a whopping 10 pounds of extra pressure to your neck for every inch it moves forward!

How Poor Posture Affects Your Body

When there’s additional strain on your neck, the effects can ripple throughout your body. You might notice the following:

Tightness in the neck and shoulders
Headaches or migraines
Tingling or numbness in the arms
Shoulder and neck pain

Even if you’re not in pain, alignment issues can affect your health in more subtle ways, such as impacting organ function and mood. Addressing these concerns early can make a big difference in your overall well-being.
