Good posture isn't just about standing tall—it helps you stay strong, avoid injury, and feel your best every day. At active acadia Physical Therapy we help people in our community improve their posture with simple, effective Physical Therapy techniques.
Whether you're working at a desk, lifting heavy objects, or spending time on the trails around Acadia National Park, posture matters. Poor posture can lead to back pain, stiff necks, sore shoulders, and even headaches. The good news? You can fix it.
How Physical Therapy Can Help
Our specialized Physical Therapists start with a full posture assessment. We look at how you sit, stand, and move. Then, we build a plan just for you. Here are a few ways we help:
Stretching Tight Muscles – Many people in the Ellsworth and surrounding areas spend hours sitting at computers or driving. This can make muscles tight and weak. We guide you through gentle stretches that open up the chest, shoulders, and hips.
Strengthening Core Muscles – Your core is the center of good posture. We teach you how to strengthen your abs, back, and hips to support your spine and reduce pain.
Improving Balance and Alignment – Through guided movement and manual therapy, we help your body find its natural balance. This helps reduce stress on your joints.
Education and Daily Tips – We’ll show you how to sit, stand, and move the right way—at work, at home, or even when hiking in beautiful Downeast Maine.
