Posture Analysis & Postural Disorders
Posture analysis is a physiotherapy assessment that examines the position of the spine, shoulders, hips and head while standing or sitting, in order to identify postural issues that can lead to pain or restricted movement over time. Based on the findings, a corrective exercise program is built to strengthen supporting muscles and improve flexibility.
What We Offer in This Area
- Standing and seated posture assessment
- Corrective exercises for forward head and shoulder posture
- Ergonomics and posture guidance for desk-based workers
- Core and back-strengthening programs that support posture
Who Is This For?
This service is suitable for adults who spend long hours at a desk and experience forward head/shoulder posture or posture-related tension in the back or low back. In cases involving structural curvatures such as scoliosis, monitoring and treatment decisions are made together with the relevant physician.
Local Context
The rise of remote/hybrid work and increased screen time are contributing factors to forward head-shoulder posture and related neck-back tension among adults in Göktürk and Levent. You can also read more in our Health Blog on preventing back and neck pain for desk workers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a postural issue always cause pain?
Not necessarily — some postural differences may not cause symptoms. Over time, however, they can place excess strain on certain muscle groups and contribute to pain or restricted movement, which is why early assessment is recommended.
How long do corrective posture exercises take to show results?
This depends on the degree of the postural issue, how consistently the exercises are followed, and daily habits; no fixed timeline can be given in advance.
