You Don’t Need a Chiropractor — You Need a Reset


Poor posture doesn’t just make you look tired — it makes your entire body feel tired.

Slouched shoulders, forward head, locked hips, compressed spine — it all adds up.

And no, sitting up “straight” for 10 seconds at a time isn’t the fix.


If you’re dealing with daily pain from bad posture — tension in your upper back, tight shoulders, neck stiffness, or lower back ache — massage therapy can actually reset the way your body moves.


That’s what we do every day at Andrea’s Touch.



What Bad Posture Actually Does to Your Body


  • Shortens your chest and pulls your shoulders forward

  • Overloads your upper traps and neck just to keep your head upright

  • Weakens your core and glutes, forcing your lower back to take the hit

  • Stiffens your mid-back, making it harder to breathe and move freely


The result?

Chronic pain. Fatigue. Less mobility. And a body that feels older than it is.



How Massage Therapy Can Help Poor Posture


Massage isn’t just about loosening muscles.

It’s about rebalancing your posture by releasing the tension that’s pulling your spine out of alignment.


At Andrea’s Touch, we focus on:


  • Releasing tight pecs and shoulders so your chest can open up

  • Softening the traps, levator scapulae, and neck muscles to reduce tension and headaches

  • Mobilising the thoracic spine so you can actually stand upright without force

  • Working through the lower back and hips to restore natural pelvic alignment


It’s not just “relaxing.”

It’s a resetting massage for your poor posture.



What to Expect After


  • You’ll feel lighter

  • You’ll breathe deeper

  • You’ll stand taller without thinking about it

  • And you’ll realise how much energy posture was draining from you



Final Thought


Bad posture doesn’t fix itself — and stretching alone won’t do it.

You’ve got to release the tension that’s holding you in that slouched shape.


That’s what we do at Andrea’s Touch.

We help your body move the way it’s supposed to — upright, open, and pain-free.
