Why Posture Analysis Matters
Poor posture is one of the leading and most overlooked causes of chronic pain. At VPARC in Varanasi, Dr. Prashant Punj performs detailed postural assessments that identify the root cause of neck, shoulder, upper back, lower back, and even knee pain that many patients have failed to resolve for years.
With increasing screen time, desk-based work, and smartphone use, postural imbalances now affect patients as young as teenagers. Left uncorrected, these imbalances cause muscle tightening, joint stress, disc pressure, and progressive pain that becomes harder to treat over time.
What the VPARC Posture Assessment Includes
Our postural assessment is a structured clinical evaluation examining your body from multiple angles - front, back, and side. Dr. Punj analyses spinal curves including cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, and lumbar lordosis, shoulder and pelvic alignment, head position, foot arch, and weight distribution across both legs.
The assessment identifies forward head posture, rounded shoulders, anterior or posterior pelvic tilt, leg length discrepancy, and scoliotic tendencies. Each finding is explained clearly and linked to your specific symptoms.
Conditions commonly resolved through postural correction include chronic neck pain, tension headaches, upper back pain, shoulder impingement, lower back pain, and tech neck. Most patients see meaningful improvement within 4 to 8 sessions when they follow the home programme alongside clinic treatment.
Postural Correction Treatment at VPARC
Once the postural imbalance is identified, Dr. Punj designs a targeted correction programme that includes specific strengthening exercises for weak muscles, stretching protocols for tight structures, manual therapy to restore joint mobility, and ergonomic guidance for your work and home environment.
VPARC also offers workplace ergonomic assessment guidance - helping patients set up their desk, chair, and screen in a way that prevents the postural problem from recurring after treatment. Patients receive a printed home exercise programme with clear instructions to continue between clinic sessions.
For patients who cannot attend the clinic, posture assessment and correction guidance is also available through our home visit service across Varanasi, as well as via tele physiotherapy video consultation.
