Did you know that a longitudinal study found that 3% of all emergency room visits from 2004-2008 were due to back pain or injury?
Back pain is the most commonly reported type of pain, which isn’t surprising given how many people struggle with it. This can severely limit daily activities and prevent people from enjoying the things they love. Fortunately, physiotherapy can help improve your posture and alleviate the back pain you’re dealing with.

Poor posture isn’t something to be embarrassed about—very few people have perfect posture, and most of us develop habits that lead to less-than-ideal positioning. We often get so absorbed in our tasks that we forget to pay attention to how our bodies are aligned. For instance, you might find yourself at the end of a long workday, tired and slouched sideways in your desk chair, with one eye on the monitor and the other on the clock. While this position isn’t natural for your body, it might seem the quickest way to finish up that project before heading out.
Poor posture isn’t usually due to laziness or lack of concern; it’s often related to physical weaknesses within our bodies. We slouch, hunch, and droop when we feel fatigued because our bodies literally get tired of holding us up.
Even if you exercise regularly, there may be some weaker muscles affecting your posture that you’re not aware of. The muscles in your shoulders, back, abdomen, buttocks, and pelvic floor all play crucial roles in maintaining good posture. If any of these muscles are weak, it can impact your core strength and cause your posture to suffer.
If you’re dealing with persistent back pain, poor posture could be the culprit. It’s one of the most common causes of back discomfort. Do you find yourself slouching at your desk, leaning forward to read emails, or hunching over your keyboard? These habits often happen unconsciously, without us realizing the strain they place on our bodies.
Your posture impacts how your body moves—whether you’re sitting, standing, walking, running, or doing just about any other activity throughout the day. It can also vary depending on the task—your standing posture might be great, but when you sit at a desk or lie down, your body may start to hunch or fold in ways it wasn’t designed to.
If poor posture is causing your back pain, physiotherapy can make a difference. Our licensed physiotherapists in Abu Dhabi are movement experts skilled in enhancing mobility, balance, flexibility, and stability—all essential for good posture.
During your initial evaluation at Perfect Balance Rehabilitation Physiotherapy Abu Dhabi, your therapist will conduct a thorough physical examination, which will include functional testing to identify the source of your pain. This assessment will guide the therapist in determining the specific areas that need treatment, allowing them to create a personalized plan designed to relieve your pain, strengthen your body, and improve your posture as efficiently as possible.
