Posture: The Window to Your Spine – What Your Body Is Telling You

Your posture tells a story about your spinal health.


Like a window giving us a glimpse inside a house, the way you stand, sit, and move provides valuable insights into the condition of your spine and overall well-being.


At Active Health Co, our chiropractors are expert “readers” of this story, helping you understand and improve your body’s narrative.
