Full Body Posture Assessment

PAIN RELIEF. ALIGN. BALANCE

​

Are you in constant pain or discomfort? Posture and misalignment are the main culprits of pain and tension in the body. The body supports the mind; the best way to help the mind rest is to create a stable, balanced posture so the body is comfortable and stable at the same time.

​

Metta can help you get to the root of your physical pain and/or mental discomfort by identifying misalignments and guiding your body toward proper alignment for pain-free function and balance.

​

A physical observation and biomechanical assessment of the client's body will be carried out to identify any misalignments and highlight strengths and weaknesses. At the end of the session, the client will be informed of their misalignments and taught alignment principles and personalised therapeutic yoga postures to strengthen and stretch areas of their body as needed to begin realigning.
