Neck Posture Correction in Canberra
Improve Your Neck Posture with Targeted, Research-Backed Therapy
At The Body Lab in Canberra, we specialise in neck posture correction rooted in functional biomechanics, neuroscience, and Chinese medicine. If you're dealing with neck pain, tension headaches, forward head posture, or TMJ dysfunction, we offer a client-centred and movement-based solution that addresses the root of your symptoms.
Why Neck Posture Matters
Chronic poor neck posture, such as forward head posture (FHP) and text neck, is linked to:
Cervical spine degeneration (Kang et al., 2012)
Muscle imbalance and myofascial pain (Shaghayegh et al., 2016)
Decreased proprioception and postural stability (Quek et al., 2013)
Jaw dysfunction and TMJ issues (Lee et al., 2016)
Correcting cervical alignment improves not only your posture but also nervous system regulation, shoulder mobility, and overall wellbeing.
What to Expect from Your Neck Posture Correction Program

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long will it take to correct my posture?
A: Most people experience changes within 2–4 sessions, but deeper correction usually takes 4–8 weeks with daily home practice.
Q: Do you treat headaches and dizziness too?
A: Yes, especially cervicogenic headaches and vestibular-related symptoms tied to posture and spinal misalignment.
Q: Is this the same as physio?
A: No. We blend biomechanics, cranial therapy, movement retraining, and acupuncture to create a personalised correction plan.
