If you are looking for postural assessment and correction in Leichhardt, you may be dealing with neck pain, back pain, shoulder tension, headaches, or stiffness that keeps returning.
Poor posture is not just about appearance. It can affect how you move, feel, work, train, and recover from injury.
At Incline Health, we provide a complete solution. We assess your posture, identify what is contributing to the problem, and treat it properly over time.
What is Postural Dysfunction?
Poor posture usually develops gradually. It is often linked to long hours sitting, reduced movement, poor work setup, muscle weakness, joint stiffness, or old injuries.
Over time, this can place extra stress on the body and lead to pain, tightness, reduced mobility, and poor movement control.
Common patterns we see include:
- Forward Head Posture – When the head sits too far forward, it increases strain through the neck and upper back. This can lead to neck pain, headaches, and upper back tension.
- Rounded Shoulders – Rounded shoulders can tighten the chest, weaken the upper back, and affect shoulder movement. This can contribute to shoulder pain, stiffness, and restricted breathing.
- Anterior Pelvic Tilt – When the pelvis is out of balance, it can place more load through the lower back and hips. This often contributes to lower back pain and hip tightness.
- Flat Back Posture – A reduced spinal curve can make the body less able to absorb load well. This can lead to stiffness and a higher risk of strain.
Posture affects more than how you stand. It can influence pain, movement, breathing, performance, and injury risk.

What's Involved in Our Comprehensive Postural Assessment
Our postural assessment in Leichhardt looks at more than one sore area. We assess how your body is aligned, how it moves, and what may be driving your symptoms.
Your assessment may include:
- Visual and Movement Analysis – We assess your posture from different angles and look at how your body moves during standing, walking, bending, and other basic movements.
- Strength and Flexibility Testing – We check for weak muscles, tight muscles, and areas that may be affecting your posture and movement.
- Functional Movement Screening – This helps us identify compensation patterns, poor control, and movement habits that may be contributing to pain.
- Ergonomic and Lifestyle Review – We look at daily factors such as desk setup, work demands, sitting time, and general activity levels.
- Digital Tracking for Progress Monitoring – Where suitable, posture tools may be used to help track progress over time.
How We Treat Postural Issues
Assessment is only part of the process. We also provide treatment to help improve the issues driving poor posture.
Manual Therapy and Hands-On Treatment
Hands-on treatment may be used to reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, and ease joint restriction.
Corrective Exercise Prescription
We prescribe exercises to strengthen weak areas, improve control, and stretch tight muscles contributing to poor posture.
Postural Retraining
We help you build better body awareness so you can maintain better alignment during daily activities.
Ergonomic Optimisation
We provide practical advice on desk setup, sitting habits, and daily movement to reduce unnecessary strain.
Ongoing Monitoring
As your posture improves, we reassess and adjust your treatment plan to keep progress moving.
