Upper Crossed Syndrome Treatment

Correct postural imbalances, relieve chronic tension, and restore natural alignment.

Upper Crossed Syndrome (UCS) is a common postural condition caused by prolonged poor posture, repetitive movements, and modern lifestyle habits such as extended screen use. At Kinetics Therapeutics, our UCS Treatment focuses on addressing the muscular imbalances and movement dysfunctions that contribute to chronic neck, shoulder, and upper back pain.

Our goal is to restore proper alignment, improve mobility, and prevent long-term discomfort.

What Is Upper Crossed Syndrome?

Upper Crossed Syndrome occurs when certain muscle groups in the upper body become overactive and tight, while opposing muscles become weak and inhibited. This imbalance typically leads to:

  • Forward head posture

  • Rounded shoulders

  • Upper back and neck tension

  • Shoulder dysfunction and headaches

Left untreated, UCS can contribute to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and recurring strain.

What Is Upper Crossed Syndrome?

Each treatment plan begins with a detailed postural and movement assessment. Therapy may include:

  • Myofascial release to reduce tightness in the chest, neck, and upper back

  • Manual therapy to improve cervical and thoracic mobility

  • Neuromuscular techniques to restore muscle balance

  • Postural correction strategies and movement re-education

  • Guidance to support long-term postural improvements

Treatment is applied with precision and care to ensure safe, effective correction.

Benefits of UCS Treatment

  • Reduced neck, shoulder, and upper back pain

  • Improved posture and alignment

  • Increased range of motion and flexibility

  • Fewer tension headaches

  • Better movement efficiency and body awareness

What Our Clients Say About Us

After a sports injury, I was worried I'd never regain full mobility. The chiropractic care I received here not only helped me recover faster, but also strengthened areas I hadn’t even realized were weak.

The myofascial release massage therapy is A MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE! Very clean, beautiful and serene space. The woman at the front desk is well-dressed, professional, and kind. Sandro is beyond professional, knowledgeable, and kind. I am 3 months postpartum and this has been such a release. Having so much pent up cortisol has made me tense throughout my body. Deep tissue massage and laser heat/shock was included to help loosen tight muscle. I know I would not have gotten such a release at any other massage place. I will be returning!
Rebecca Robles
If I could give 10 stars I would. If you are looking for a highly skilled manual therapist who can assess, treat and provide profound results look no further. If you don't know what you are looking for take my advice and give Sandro a try- your expectations from a therapist will never be the same.
Jasmin Matula
I was dizzy, seeing double vision for over a week, had high blood pressure, and aches from old injuries. Sandro has helped alleviate every symptom. He shares his knowledge with you, and is very thorough with explaining what he is doing and why. I truly admire his passion to help people, and highly recommend him to anyone that is in need of relief or preventive care. You won't be disappointed!

I look forward to my massage every week—it’s the only time I truly disconnect and reset. The therapists are intuitive and professional. This place is magic.
