Massage Therapy & Posture: How Bodywork Supports Spinal Alignment
Posture is more than how you look when you stand or sit—it’s the physical expression of balance, strength, and alignment throughout your entire body. Over time, daily habits, stress, and repetitive movements can pull your spine out of its ideal position, leaving muscles overworked in some areas and underused in others. Massage therapy offers a powerful way to restore balance, relieve tension, and support the natural alignment of your spine.
