Massage for Postural Imbalances in Bradford
Rounded shoulders, forward head posture, and anterior pelvic tilt can overload the neck, mid-back, and hips—fueling headaches and low-back pain. Our Bradford deep tissue massage lengthens tight chains (pecs, lats, hip flexors) and frees thoracic and rib mobility. When combined with targeted endurance work and simple ergonomic tweaks, posture improves without feeling forced.
Postural Chains We Address
- Upper-crossed pattern: tight pecs/upper traps with weak deep neck flexors and mid-back stabilizers.
- Lower-crossed pattern: tight hip flexors/erectors with weak glutes/abdominals.
- Desk-driver loop: screen height, phone position, and chair setup perpetuating strain.
Plan Overview
| Pattern | Massage Focus | Rehab Focus | Allied Services |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rounded shoulders | Pec/lat/subscap borders; thoracic paraspinals | Scapular stability, thoracic mobility | Physiotherapy, Chiropractic Adjustments |
| Anterior pelvic tilt | Hip flexor/quad release, deep glutes | Glute/core endurance, hinge retraining | Orthotics if foot mechanics contribute |
What Patients Notice
- Easier upright sitting and breathing depth
- Less neck/shoulder fatigue by late afternoon
- More comfortable lifting and reaching mechanics
To sustain change, we coordinate massage with physio for endurance and motor control and with chiropractic when joint restrictions persist; select cases benefit from acupuncture. Insurance and benefits are supported through direct billing and work benefits.
