How much does posture correction usually cost

The price range of a single session of posture correction currently on the market is actually quite large, ranging from early one hundred to over a thousand yuan. Regular courses from formal institutions that ordinary people often choose are basically concentrated in the range of 300-600 yuan.

I accompanied a friend to get a neck test two years ago. I went to three or four institutions for comparison, and I was quite impressed. The rehabilitation studio we found in Binjiang, Hangzhou, has been open for almost 7 years. The teacher is qualified as a sports rehabilitation teacher. He has also performed strain rehabilitation for provincial team athletes before. The price for a single 45-minute session is 450 yuan. If you buy a 10-session package, you can get a 20% discount, which works out to 360 per session. My friend persisted with it for 3 months, and his neck protrusion improved by almost 70%. The migraines he suffered from working overtime before were reduced a lot.

If you are looking for a posture class given by a personal trainer at the gym downstairs, you can get a class with more than 100 or 200 yuan, but you really have to try your luck. I once had a colleague who was greedy for cheap and signed up for a hunchback correction class at the gym for 199 per class.

If you already have obvious pathological symptoms, such as scoliosis that has caused nerve pain in your back, and pelvic tilt that is so severe that you can't straighten your back in pain every time you visit, it is more recommended to go directly to the rehabilitation department of a tertiary hospital. After being reimbursed by medical insurance, a single session of treatment only costs more than 100 or 200.

There is a lot of controversy about posture correction now. Many people say it is a pure IQ tax. In fact, it depends on your situation. If you just have temporary rounded shoulders due to staying up late every day to catch up on the plan in the past month or two, pay more attention to your sitting posture and spend 10 minutes standing on the wall every day to adjust it, and you don't have to spend thousands to sign up for classes. But if you have been suffering from high and low shoulders for three to five years, the soles of your shoes are worn out when walking, and you even have knee pain and low back pain, it is easy to make adjustments by yourself and make the problem worse. Finding a reliable teacher to make targeted adjustments is much more cost-effective than wasting time and money by practicing blindly on your own.

By the way, when choosing an institution, don’t just buy a big package with dozens of classes. Nowadays, the first evaluation of most formal institutions is free or only charges a few dozen yuan. You go and chat for 10 minutes first. If the teacher can accurately tell the root cause of your posture problems, for example, your shoulders are high and low due to the imbalance of core force caused by always using a unilateral backpack. If you don’t PUA, your problem is serious and you need to buy 30 classes to cure it. It’s not too late to consider spending money.
