Let’s understand why.

What Is Posture?
Posture is the automatic, unconscious position of your body — how it adapts to gravity in everyday life.
Your body finds the most energy-efficient way to keep you upright, based on your long-term movement habits, muscle tone, and patterns of tension.

That means posture is not something you “hold” — it’s something your nervous system manages 24/7.

Why Quick Fixes Don’t Work
You can’t “straighten” posture or “realign” bones with one manipulation.
Even if a therapist makes visible changes during a session, your brain and muscles will soon return to the old, familiar pattern — because it’s safer and more stable for your nervous system.

It’s like asking a computer to reboot with old software — it restarts exactly the same way.

How Posture Really Changes
The key word here is movement.
Correct posture is built through regular physical activity: walking, resistance training, stretching, sport, dancing — any movement that challenges the body to stabilise itself in different positions.
That’s why telling a child to “sit up straight” never works — but letting them play outdoors, climb, jump and balance helps their body develop the right patterns naturally.
In adults, posture can still be retrained — but not by force.
It requires new movement habits, stronger muscles, better body awareness, and everyday activity.

The Real Solution
You are what you practice every day.
Not what a therapist “fixes” in one hour, but what your body repeats thousands of times — your sitting, walking, standing, and training patterns.
So, no, you can’t align your pelvis or change leg length with a single adjustment.
But you can build balanced movement and strength over time — that’s what real posture correction looks like.

Final Thought
Get moving. Go to the gym. Take that brisk walk in the park.
The stronger, faster, and more active you are, the better your posture — and the better your posture, the healthier and more confident you’ll feel.
