Expert Posture Screening in Palm City, Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Tradition, Jensen Beach, Indiantown, and Surrounding Areas
Good posture is essential to your overall health and well-being. At Back in Action Medical Centers, serving Palm City, Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Jensen Beach, Indiantown, and the surrounding Treasure Coast area, we offer comprehensive posture screening to identify and address postural issues that may be affecting your health.
The Importance of Good Posture
Poor posture can be the beginning of many health issues, especially for those who spend long hours at a computer desk. Improper alignment can lead to:
- Compressed intestines, reducing efficiency
- Decreased circulation due to reduced blood flow
- Tightened chest muscles causing pain in neck, shoulder, and back
- Weakened foot arches leading to overpronation
- Tightened hip flexors causing lower back pain
- Neck muscle tension and pain
These issues can create a chain reaction of other events in your body, impacting your overall health and quality of life.
Our Posture Screening Approach
At Back in Action Medical Centers, our posture screening process is thorough and informative:
- Visual Assessment: We evaluate your posture from different angles.
- Gait Analysis: Observe your walking pattern for any abnormalities.
- Photo Documentation: Take photos to assess your alignment accurately.
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Check for various conditions that may indicate postural issues.
- Team Discussion: Our medical professionals collaborate to analyze your case.
- Personalized Treatment Plan: Develop a plan specific to your condition and needs.
What We Look For in a Posture Screening
Our expert team assesses various aspects of your posture, including:
- An unnatural stride
- Shoulder imbalance
- Unusual shoe wear patterns
- Forward head tilt
- High or rotated hip
- Weight imbalance
- Contracted leg length (one leg longer than the other)

Common Postural Issues and Their Impacts
Forward Hip Tilt Caused by prolonged sitting without stretching hip flexors. We recommend frequent breaks and stretching exercises.
Overpronation Often results from flat or weakened arches. Our screening can identify this issue and recommend appropriate interventions.
Hunchback Diagnosed through visual screening to measure upper spine curvature. Common in those who spend long hours hunched over a desk.
Rounded Shoulders Often a result of poor desk posture. We can provide exercises and ergonomic advice to address this issue.
Forward Head Typically seen in those who lean forward while working at a desk, pulling the head out of alignment with the spine.
Proper Alignment Guidelines
- Front View: Your ears, shoulders, and hips should line up.
- Side View: Your ear, shoulder, hip, and ankle should align.
