Your Complete Guide to Better Posture 

Good Posture Guide: (click to open)

In a world dominated by screens, long hours of desk work and constant device use, maintaining good posture has become more important than ever. At Errol Street Chiropractic in North Melbourne, we see every day how small, repeated habits can create big changes in the spine – especially when it comes to issues like Forward Head Posture (FHP), rounded shoulders and spinal stiffness. Find out more about our Good Posture Guide.

That’s why we created the Good Posture Guide a practical, easy-to-follow resource designed to help you build healthier habits and protect your spinal health long term.

Posture Matters 

Good posture isn’t just about “standing up straight.” Your posture directly affects:

  • Neck and back pain
  • Headaches and fatigue
  • Breathing and rib mobility
  • Spinal alignment and long-term function
  • Your ability to move, lift, exercise and concentrate

Over time, poor posture patterns cause structural changes in the spine – especially Forward Head Posture, one of the most common issues we assess at Errol Street Chiropractic.

What You’ll Learn in the Good Posture Guide

1. Forward Head Posture – A Leading Cause of Neck Problems

FHP happens when the head shifts forward of the shoulders, increasing load on the neck and upper back. Our guide helps you understand how it develops and what you can do to correct it.

2. Simple Posture-Awareness Techniques

We teach you how to “reset” your posture throughout the day with:

  • Neutral spine positioning
  • Tall posture awareness
  • Sitting and standing balance checks
  • Breathing cues to reduce tension

Small changes create big results over time. CLICK HERE to watch the VIDEO.

  • How to avoid tech-neck
  • Correct monitor and chair setup
  • Tips for reducing slouching and strain
  • Standing desk and seating options that support your spine

4. Sleep Posture, Pillows & Mattresses

  • Best pillows for back and side sleepers

  • Signs your mattress needs replacing
  • Tips for maintaining spinal alignment at night
