Postural Assessment & Correction
Chiropractic Care – Burnaby Metrotown & Coquitlam Square
Posture influences how you move, breathe, work, sleep, and feel throughout the day. When posture becomes imbalanced—whether from prolonged sitting, desk work, stress, injury, or daily habits—muscles and joints begin to compensate. This compensation often leads to pain, stiffness, fatigue, limited mobility, and recurring tension.
Postural assessment and correction is the chiropractic process of identifying these imbalances and creating a personalized plan to restore alignment, improve function, and retrain your body’s movement patterns. At Motion Pro Health, our chiropractors provide detailed posture evaluations and gentle corrective care to help you feel more balanced, supported, and confident in your body.

What Is Postural Assessment & Correction?
A postural assessment is a hands-on and visual evaluation where your chiropractor examines your standing, sitting, and movement patterns. This includes observing head position, shoulder alignment, spinal curves, pelvic balance, foot positioning, and how your body distributes weight.
Posture issues can come from long hours at a computer, repetitive tasks, stress-related tension, past injuries, uneven muscle activation, or simply day-to-day habits. Small imbalances often build up gradually and eventually lead to discomfort or dysfunction.
Once your chiropractor identifies the contributing factors, they create a personalized plan that may include gentle spinal adjustments, mobility exercises, targeted strengthening, ergonomic guidance, soft-tissue therapy, and ongoing posture coaching.
How Postural Correction Helps
Good posture is more than standing straight—it supports efficient movement, balanced muscle activity, and reduced strain on your spine. Postural correction helps restore these natural patterns.
Many patients notice:
- Improved overall alignment and balance
- Reduced strain on the neck, back, shoulders, and hips
- Improved breathing and ease of movement
- Better energy levels throughout the day
- Greater confidence and comfort in daily tasks
- Reduced risk of posture-related headaches or muscle tension
Correcting posture also helps break repetitive movement patterns that contribute to chronic pain, making it a valuable part of long-term spine and joint health.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your chiropractor begins with a visual and movement-based assessment. This may include observing how you sit, stand, bend, walk, or perform specific motions. The goal is to identify imbalances, restricted joints, overactive or underactive muscles, and posture patterns contributing to discomfort.
Treatment may include gentle spinal adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, stretching, mobility work, and customized exercises. Your chiropractor also provides ergonomic tips tailored to your lifestyle—whether you’re at a desk, on your feet, at the gym, or managing daily tasks at home.
Postural correction is a gradual process, but consistent care can create significant long-term improvements in comfort and movement.
