How Can Massage Therapy Help Your Posture Problems?

Posture problems can rob you of the joy of engaging in your hobbies or even work. At United Chiropractic Health Center in Ontario, we provide safe and effective chiropractic treatment coupled with massage therapy to our patients. Our aim is to help you live a happier and more comfortable life.

What Is Poor Posture?

Poor posture refers to the unnatural positioning of the spine exerting excessive stress on joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments. When your spine is in the wrong position for a prolonged period, it builds up pressure in the adjacent soft tissue. Most people unintentionally adopt poor posture, especially when studying, working in front of a computer, or driving.
