One of the biggest things I see in clinic is people believing their pain is caused by posture. They’ve been told it’s upper crossed syndrome, lower crossed syndrome, rounded shoulders, anterior pelvic tilt, or some “twisted pelvis” nonsense — and that this is the root of their pain. It isn’t.

Pain is far more complex than posture. Posture might play a small part at times, sure — but it’s much more about your habits, what you do all day, how you move, how you feel, and how you recover.

No one thinks about their posture when they’re not in pain. But the moment pain shows up, it’s the first thing people blame. That’s not coincidence — that’s conditioning.

The “posture industry” thrives on scaremongering. Practitioners love saying they can fix your posture and magically fix your pain. Some patients love hearing it too, because it gives them a simple answer.

But posture isn’t the villain. And trying to perfect it won’t save you.

Worry less about posture.
Focus more on how you’re living.

It strengthens more than muscles.
It builds resilience, confidence, and independence.
It rewires your brain, stabilizes your joints,
and reminds you that capability doesn’t have an expiration date.

Strength isn’t just physical.
It’s your insurance policy for life.

I am often trying to explain my approach to therapy and I don't feel I always manage to explain it simply.
But Mike in his review sums it up perfectly, so thank you Mike.

Sometimes a bit of positivity is all that's needed to feel better and help you move forward. Please don't let anyone tell you you are broken.

"Michael has helped me to be able to get my body back to the condition it was in about five years ago before I was affected by the harsh treatment I went through to fight prostrate cancer over the last few years.
Michael thinks out of the box and treats the body as a whole.
The NHS physio I had previously been seeing made me feel that due to my age, and cancer treatment, I would not improve and just accept that at the age of 69, at that time, I just had to put up with limited and painful movement.
Thank you Michael for giving me the encouragement to push myself."
