Achieving the Ideal Posture: A Roadmap to Optimal Alignment
As soon as someone says the word posture, people straighten right up, only to slump back down in a matter of minutes. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of misunderstandings about what “good” posture is. At Gold Coast Physical Therapy, we understand that your “ideal” posture is based on your unique characteristics and life situation. Rather than compare you to someone else, we’ll help you find the posture that creates harmony and balance in your body. Here’s an overview of what to strive for with posture: • Head: Your head should be positioned over the spine. This helps maintain the natural curvature of the cervical spine (i.e., the neck), ensures the head is neither leaning too far forward nor tilting backward, and prevents undue strain. • Shoulders: Your shoulders should be gently pulled back and relaxed, not slouched forward. This posture opens the chest, allowing unrestricted breathing and optimal circulation. • Spine: The spine exhibits three primary curves: cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), and lumbar (lower back). Good posture ensures these curves remain intact, avoiding excessive arching or rounding. Our therapists will develop a personalized plan tailored to your unique needs based on the assessment. This plan may include exercises, stretches, and techniques to address specific posture- related challenges. Workout Your Brain Sudoku

Patient Success Spotlight
“I had an appointment at Gold Coast Physical Therapy last week and had a solid experience. The front desk team was friendly and made everything smooth. Dr. Dominique was thorough, helpful, and informative; he took the time to explain things, I felt heard/seen, and didn’t feel rushed. He’s easygoing and made the whole visit feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend.” - R.S.
