Addressing Postural Issues with Remedial Massage
In an era of smartphones, laptops, and long commutes, poor posture is more common than ever. From “tech neck” to rounded shoulders and slouched lower backs, these habits create imbalances that lead to discomfort and injury. At Mixed Osteo Kensington, we use remedial massage to treat the root causes of postural dysfunction—not just the symptoms.
What Causes Postural Issues?
Common culprits include:
Prolonged sitting or desk work
Driving long hours
Muscle imbalances from one-sided activities (e.g., tennis, carrying bags)
Lack of strength or flexibility in core and back muscles
Over time, these habits can create excessive tension in some muscles (e.g., upper traps, hip flexors) and weakness in others (e.g., deep neck flexors, glutes).
How Remedial Massage Helps
Remedial massage targets the muscular imbalances that contribute to postural issues:
Releases tight, overactive muscles (like chest, hip flexors, neck)
Stimulates underused muscles through soft tissue mobilisation
Improves blood flow, reducing fatigue in overloaded muscles
Increases awareness of habitual movement patterns
Realignment Beyond the Table
At Mixed Osteo, your remedial massage isn’t just about what happens in the session. We often combine massage therapy with stretching advice, postural education, and strength-based movement strategies to help you correct imbalances and stay pain-free long term.
