Why Does Posture Matter?

Proper posture isn’t just about standing up straight—it’s about the alignment and movement of your feet, legs, pelvis, spine, and rib cage working together. When one area is out of balance, it can put stress on joints, muscles, and ligaments, leading to pain and dysfunction.

Success Stories

"Great group. Use of both MET techniques and dry needling solved a lower back issue that had plagued me for years. Chiropractors had failed, but years later I am still pain free from a muscular problem correctly diagnosed and treated by Kristen. Sending anyone who ask for a referral to this practice."

-Julia T.

"Best physical therapist group in the country. I was very fortunate to find Kristen Wright Hicks and Liddy Morris to help me with my pelvic pain 11 years ago. Kristen stuck with me through a very serious car accident four years ago which made the situation much worse with neck and cranial problems. Kristen searched high and low for a doctor to help me. She found one in the entire country. Kristen and the staff at Opt are working with another doctor to get me back on my feet. Today was the first time in four years I have able to walk around in my pool."

Posture Support - Frequently Asked Questions

Can physical therapy help if I’ve had poor posture for years?

Absolutely! It’s never too late to improve your posture and relieve pain. Whether you’ve been slouching for years or just started experiencing discomfort, a physical therapy program can help retrain your body for better alignment and movement.

What’s the best way to fix my posture while sleeping?

Your sleep posture is just as important as how you sit and stand during the day. Try these adjustments for better spinal alignment while you rest:

Back sleepers: Use a thin pillow under your head and a pillow under your knees to support your spine.
Avoid sleeping on your stomach, as it forces your neck into an awkward position.

Can poor posture affect my digestion or breathing?

Yes! Slouching compresses your abdomen and diaphragm, making it harder for your stomach and intestines to function properly. This can lead to:

Slower digestion and bloating
Heartburn or acid reflux due to pressure on the stomach
Shallow breathing and reduced oxygen intake, affecting focus and stamina
