How to Check Your Posture at Home

While a thorough posture assessment is best done in the clinic, there are a few quick checks you can try at home to get a sense of how you’re standing and moving.

1. Shoulder Level

Stand in front of a mirror and see if one shoulder sits higher than the other. Uneven shoulders can sometimes be a sign of muscle tension, imbalance, or changes in spinal alignment.

2. Ear Alignment

Turn sideways and check if your ears line up over your shoulders. If your ears are sitting forward, it could point to forward head posture- a common issue linked with desk work, phones, and long hours of sitting.

3. Hip Balance

When standing tall, notice if one hip feels higher, rotated, or shifted compared to the other. Your hips are your body’s foundation, and even small imbalances here can affect how you walk, move, or carry weight.

If you notice anything unusual- or simply want a clearer picture of your posture- our chiropractors can assess how your body is moving and provide personalised care to help restore balance.
