If you’ve ever felt tightness, pressure, or a dull ache in your chest — especially after sitting at a desk all day — you’re not alone. The cause might not be your heart… it could be your posture.
At VincePhysio in Downpatrick, we’ve helped countless clients reduce chest discomfort simply by improving how they move, breathe, and sit.
🧍♂️ How Posture Triggers Chest Pain
Poor posture — especially when hunched forward — can lead to:
- Compressed rib cage and chest muscles
- Overactive pecs and underactive upper back muscles
- Restricted diaphragmatic breathing
- Tightness and nerve tension in the upper thoracic spine
These all put pressure on the chest area and can lead to pain, tingling, or shortness of breath — even if your heart is healthy.
🔧 How Vince Treats Posture-Related Chest Pain
- Postural Analysis – identify where tension is being held
- Manual Therapy – release the chest, shoulders, and spine
- Breathwork – restore proper rib cage expansion
- Posture Coaching – retrain how you sit, stand, and move throughout your day
Bottom line:
Yes — posture can cause chest pain. But with the right guidance, it’s fixable.
