About the procedure

Postural disorders are an almost universal problem for clients with sedentary work: forward head posture, shoulder protraction, hyperkyphosis, pelvic tilt. It is not "aesthetics" — it is the cause of chronic back pain, headaches and breathing disturbances.

Assessment: 4-view photo posturometry, angle measurement with a goniometer, functional tests (Adams test for scoliosis, muscle length assessment). Before/after comparison across the programme.

The correction programme has two tiers: 1) release of overactive muscles (pectorals, iliopsoas, superficial back extensors), 2) activation of underactive muscles (deep neck flexors, lower trapezius, glutes). Exercises are tailored individually and progressed through the retreat.

Without home work the effect does not consolidate — so the core of the programme is education and habit formation. Video materials and weekly online check-ins for 3 months after the retreat.
