If you're worried about your posture, you can book a posture assessment with a chiropractor in Plymouth directly.
At Ocean City Chiropractic, in Plymouth city centre (Ground Floor, 3 The Crescent, Plymouth PL1 3AB), we use digital posture analysis to measure how you stand, then help with the aches, stiffness and tension that often come with poor posture. Every initial consultation includes a posture analysis.
These are the patterns we hear most often from people with neck-related headaches.
Posture is mostly habit, plus how well your joints and muscles move. Common drivers:
It's just two appointments to get you on the right path. Here's exactly what happens at each so there are no surprises.
Restoring proper movement to the hip, pelvis and lower back
Strengthening the glutes and hip stabilisers so the joint is properly supported
For stubborn tendon problems like GTPS
Correcting how your feet load your hips with every step
The daily habits that keep hips happy
Your head weighs about 5kg. Research modelling the neck found that at 15° of forward tilt it carries around 12kg, and at 60° around 27kg. That's why small daily habits add up.

I’ve been very impressed with the attention to detail, with posture analysis, lifestyle consultation etc…
You can book directly with a chiropractor. At Ocean City Chiropractic, Ground Floor, 3 The Crescent, Plymouth PL1 3AB, we measure your posture with digital posture analysis and help with the aches and stiffness that come with it. It's part of every initial consultation, and we run free posture checks from time to time. Book online or call 01752 921 931.
We can help with the stiffness and aches, and give you the exercises and set-up changes that make good posture easier to hold. The daily habits are yours, and we'll re-check your posture so you can see your progress.
We take measured photos of you from the front and side. They show things like how far your head sits forward and whether your shoulders and hips are level. We re-take them later so you can see changes.
We run free posture checks from time to time, so see our free posture assessment page for the next one. A full digital posture analysis is also included in every initial consultation.
Raise your screen to eye level, hold your phone higher, get up every 30 minutes, and do a few shoulder rolls and chin tucks through the day.
All three are regulated professions you can see directly, and all can help with posture problems. What matters most is someone who examines you properly, explains what's going on and gives you a plan that includes what you can do yourself. At Ocean City Chiropractic you'll see a chiropractor, and our sports therapist too if that suits you better. There's more on this in our guide: chiropractor, physio or osteopath?
