Posture Training

---

What is the cause of pain? For most people, it's caused by their tight muscles from years of having poor posture, but poor posture is caused by the years of sitting that the vast majority of Americans have spent their lives doing. This constant sitting started when we were kids in the classroom and carries into adulthood as we continue to sit while working at our desk jobs. Just think about it -- we have been sitting for 8-12 hours a day since kindergarten, but the body was designed to MOVE for 8-12 hours a day. This chronic, unhealthy position causes an abundance of muscle tension that needs to be loosened. Here at Chiro Cleveland, not only will we treat those muscles with the chiropractic manipulation and massage therapy, but we can train you how to treat them as well. We have developed a whole system that is taught in a one-on-one instructional session, to teach you how to self-treat using a therapy ball and foam roller, and how to correct your posture when you're sitting, standing or moving. We split the training up into 4 sessions, so that we can cover as much as possible.
​
