ARE YOU OR YOUR CHILD ​Struggling with Back, Neck, or Posture Concerns?

Understand What May Be Contributing — and What You Can Do Next.
A professional posture and spine screening designed to give you clarity about your posture, movement, and whether further assessment may be appropriate.
You don’t need to be in severe pain to notice changes in your body.
​
  • Neck or back stiffness after sitting

  • Changes in posture
  • Tension-related headaches

These types of symptoms can have a range of contributing factors and may change over time.
This screening is designed to help you better understand your posture and spinal movement so you can make informed decisions about your health.

✔ General steps you may consider

Important Information

WHO IS THIS FOR

This screening may be suitable if you:

  • Want a general check of your spinal movement and posture

A NOTE ON SCOLIOSIS
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that can develop during growth and may not always be obvious.
As part of this screening, we may observe general signs of asymmetry, such as uneven shoulders, differences in hip height, or changes in posture.

​It is more commonly identified during periods of growth, often between ages 10–15.
​
This screening is not a diagnosis. If any findings suggest that further assessment may be appropriate, we will explain your options, which may include a more comprehensive examination or referral where appropriate.

WHY AWARENESS MATTERS

Postural and spinal changes can occur gradually over time.
Understanding your current posture and movement may help you make informed decisions about your health and whether further assessment may be beneficial.
