Fix Your Posture in Canberra: Real Results, No Quick Fix Gimmicks
Can you reverse damage from years of bad posture?
Yes—and science agrees! Strategies like adult tummy time (lying on your belly to counter “tech neck”) stretch tight chest and spine muscles while activating postural stabilisers . Meanwhile, studies show posture correction exercises improve spinal alignment and reduce neck/back discomfort in just weeks .
Can bad posture be permanently fixed?
You won’t “flip” your skeleton like a pancake, but you can retrain your muscles and habits to hold better alignment long-term. Research confirms chronic postural exercises reshape muscle activation, spinal control, and proprioception—leading to less pain and better posture control . Across multiple systematic reviews, improving habitual postural patterns can prevent worsening and chronicity .
How long does it take to fix bad posture?
Forward head posture: 6–12 weeks
Rounded shoulders: 8–16 weeks
Anterior pelvic tilt: 12–24 weeks
Hunched kyphosis: 3–6 months
Real talk: most people feel changes within 2–6 months with consistent work, but improvements can start in as little as 2 weeks .
Can I recover from bad posture?
Absolutely. One study on smartphone users found that after 4 weeks of exercises + ergonomic advice they had significant improvements in forward head posture metrics (craniovertebral angle/scapular index) . Other reviews show posture training dramatically reduces neck & shoulder pain in office workers .
Who actually makes it stick?
Sure, physios and chiros might pop joints or prescribe exercises. But if you want posture that survives outside the clinic, you need something different.
