Is Your Child’s Posture Changing Without You Noticing?

Understand What May Be Contributing — and What You Can Do Next.
We offer a professional posture and spine screening designed to give you clarity about your child's posture, movement, and whether further assessment may be appropriate.
Slouching. Screens. Heavy schoolbags.
​These small daily habits may place increasing stress on a growing spine.

​Many parents don’t realise posture changes can develop gradually — and in some cases may be noticed later as differences in comfort, fatigue, or visible posture.
Our goal is to help you understand your child’s posture and spinal development and identify any areas that may benefit from attention.

FREE Posture & Spinal Screening
(All Ages Welcome)

This complimentary posture and spinal screening is designed to assess posture, movement, and spinal function. This is not a full chiropractic consultation or treatment. It is an initial screening designed to help identify whether further assessment may be appropriate.

Why Parents Are Booking for Their Kids

Children today spend more time sitting than ever before — at desks, on devices, and in transport.
​
We commonly observe postural patterns such as:
  • Forward head posture (“tech neck”)
  • Rounded shoulders
  • Slouching when sitting or standing
  • Reduced movement endurance or fatigue​

In some cases, postural changes such as uneven shoulders, hips, or spinal alignment may warrant further clinical assessment to rule out conditions such as scoliosis. Scoliosis most commonly develops during adolescence, particularly between the ages of 10–15 years.

​This screening does not diagnose scoliosis or any other condition, but it can help highlight visible postural asymmetries and provide clarity on whether a more detailed assessment could be beneficial.
​
Early awareness can help families make informed decisions about posture, movement, and healthy daily habits.
This Screening May Help You Understand:
  • How a child’s posture is currently presenting
  • How daily habits may relate to posture and movement
  • If further assessment could be beneficial

WHO IS THIS FOR

This screening is suitable for:
  • Children and teenagers (especially school-aged children)
  • Adults experiencing posture concerns
  • Office workers or device-heavy lifestyles
  • Parents wanting a posture check for their child

What's Included

Your screening includes:
  • A brief discussion about your concerns and relevant history
  • Observation of posture and general spinal alignment
  • Basic movement and mobility checks
  • General information based on findings
    ​
Important Information
This screening is a general postural and spinal assessment only. It does not include a diagnosis and does not replace a comprehensive chiropractic consultation. No treatment is provided as part of this screening. Any observations made during the screening are general in nature, and individual findings may vary. If appropriate, you may be provided with information about booking a full chiropractic consultation for a more detailed assessment and individualised advice.

What Happens Next

After your posture and spine screening:
  • You’ll receive a summary of the observations from your screening
  • We’ll discuss whether further assessment may be considered appropriate based on what is observed
  • If suitable, we may explain how a full chiropractic consultation could provide a more detailed clinical evaluation and individualised advice
  • You will be given the option to book a follow-up appointment if you choose

There is no obligation to continue care. The purpose of this screening is to provide general information about posture and spinal function and help you decide whether any further assessment may be useful.

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.
