How much does posture correction cost

It can range from a hundred yuan to hundreds of thousands, and the span is so wide that you can’t imagine it. It all depends on the severity of your posture problems and the correction method you choose. To put it bluntly, it is similar to repairing home appliances. A minor fault can be fixed by tightening the screws yourself. If the core component is broken, you will definitely have to spend a lot of money to replace it.

A friend of mine who is a short video operator cut his head for 10 hours every day, and he has a lot of problems: his neck is stretched out by two centimeters, and his shoulders are a finger apart. He went to a sports rehabilitation studio near his home that has been open for five or six years. He first spent 300 to do a full body posture assessment. He said that there was no organic problem, but muscle strength was insufficient. For balance, he took correction classes twice a week, 400 each time, to train the core and relax the tense trapezius and back muscles. After 12 times, the adjustment was smooth and smooth. He usually pays attention to his sitting posture, but now he can hardly see any problems. The total cost is 5100. He thinks it is worth it, as it saves him from injuring his neck by practicing blindly.

If you have strong executive ability and have minor problems, but your shoulders are rounded due to sitting for a long time, you don’t need to spend so much. My sister just went to college last year. She went to the library every day to read on the table, with her breasts swollen. She followed the popular science video posted by the rehabilitation doctor at the regular hospital. She bought a foam roller and elastic bands for a total of 87 yuan. She practiced for 20 minutes every day. After three months, her shoulders were opened. The cost was only a hundred yuan, and the effect was not bad at all.

I also have to mention the pitfalls here. Two years ago, my best friend was tricked by a beauty salon into doing "hand-on bone-setting and shoulder shrinking". She was told that the trapezius muscles could be reduced in one session, and she received 880 in one session. After doing it three times, it hurt for half a month, but the trapezius muscles became even more swollen. Later, she went to In the rehabilitation department of the community hospital, the doctor said that violent bone-setting was not right at all. It was a common postural problem caused by muscle tension. A muscle relaxation and posture guidance at the hospital only cost 120. She could reimburse more than half of it through medical insurance. The more than 2,000 she spent before was purely IQ tax.

Speaking of which, I accompanied a relative’s child to consult for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis a while ago, and I realized that the cost of pathological postural problems is really much higher. The child's scoliosis was already 32 degrees, which did not meet the indications for surgery. He had to wear a custom-made hard brace 24 hours a day. The imported brace alone cost 28,000. He also had to have monthly reviews and adjustments, coupled with weekly rehabilitation training. The entire correction cycle would take two to three years, which would cost at least 50,000 yuan. If the scoliosis exceeds 40 degrees and requires surgery, the surgery fee alone will cost hundreds of thousands, and subsequent follow-up examinations and rehabilitation will cost even more.

There are a lot of debates online now about whether to spend money on correction. Some people think that it is more efficient to find a professional rehabilitation practitioner, so as not to compensate for their wrong movements and create new problems. Others think that as long as they find the right popular science content and practice on their own, it will still be effective, and there is no need to spend thousands to sign up for classes. In fact, there is no absolute right or wrong. The safest thing is to go to the rehabilitation department of a regular hospital for an evaluation first to find out whether your problem is physiological or pathological, and then decide which correction method to choose. This can also save you money.
