The Hidden Impact of Posture on Your Health

Good posture is often overlooked, yet it plays a crucial role in overall health and wellbeing. How we sit, stand, and move throughout the day can have long-term effects on our spine, muscles, and joints — particularly for adults working long hours at desks across Farnham, Guildford, Fleet and surrounding Surrey and Hampshire areas.

Physically, poor posture can contribute to chronic back pain, neck pain, shoulder tension, and headaches. Misalignments in spinal alignment may also affect flexibility and breathing efficiency. Many adults visiting our chiropractic clinics in Farnham and Ash report posture-related discomfort linked to desk work, commuting, or prolonged screen use.

Small adjustments — such as sitting with your feet flat on the floor, aligning your ears with your shoulders, and keeping screens at eye level — can help reduce strain and improve spinal alignment.

Chiropractors provide professional posture assessments to identify areas of imbalance or restriction. Through detailed physical and neurological checks, chiropractic care aims to support better posture, reduce tension, and improve comfort. If you are based in Farnham, Churt, Aldershot, Farnborough, Guildford, Fleet or nearby areas of Surrey and Hampshire, booking a posture screen can be a proactive step towards long-term spinal health.

Ask your chiropractor for a posture screen ✨
