Back pain isn’t always caused by a dramatic injury.
More often, it sneaks up on us—through hours spent hunched over a laptop, slouched on the couch, or standing with poor alignment. The way we sit, stand, and move every day has a direct impact on the health of our spine.
Our clinicians at our St. Petersburg clinic, helps people uncover how daily habits and work setups contribute to neck, shoulder, and back pain. With personalized solutions, we guide our clients toward better posture, stronger cores, and healthier movement patterns.

Why Posture Matters More Than Ever
With the rise of remote work and mobile technology, we’re spending more time in seated or awkward positions than ever before. Poor posture doesn’t just cause discomfort—it sets the stage for chronic issues like disc problems, nerve compression, and muscle imbalances. A healthy spine supports your entire body. It protects your nervous system, influences your breathing, and keeps you upright and mobile. When posture breaks down, so does your ability to move and perform at your best.Signs Your Ergonomics Might Need a Tune-Up
You don’t have to work in an office to be affected by poor ergonomics. Here are some common signs your setup—or posture—is hurting you:- Frequent headaches or neck stiffness
- Shoulder tension that builds throughout the day
- Tingling or numbness in the hands or arms
- Low back pain when standing or sitting for long periods
- A noticeable lean or rounded shoulders in photos
Small Adjustments Lead to Big Results
Improving your posture and ergonomics doesn’t always require a complete office overhaul. Sometimes, the smallest shifts make the biggest difference. We help clients adjust:- Chair height and depth for proper hip and knee alignment
- Monitor position to reduce neck strain
- Keyboard and mouse placement to minimize shoulder tension
- Standing posture with cues for foot placement and pelvic alignment
