Postural Treatment That Gets to the Root Cause
Mézières Method
The Mezieres method at Wellthy Clinic involves holding specific global stretching postures for a prolonged period, which the practitioner will then manually correct. The focus of this technique is to elongate your posterior myofascial chain, therefore reducing muscle tightness, joint stiffness, and restoring posture.

What is Mezieres?
Mézières or Global Postural Re-education uses a combination of specific stretching postures, breath work and hands-on therapy to ease pain, correct and refine posture. This is done with a combination, suited to each client, of the following: breathing exercises, hands-on therapy and holding specific stretching postures for a prolonged time.

Provides clients with self-management tools
Within a treatment session, your body is viewed as muscular chains (not individual muscles). The focus of a treatment is to reduce increased tension in one area, which will reduce pain and improve function in another area of the body. The aim is to lengthen and soften the muscular chains to restore balance with the function of the whole body. Mézières aims to achieve a postural change through work on the muscular chain balance.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the Mézières Method? It’s a specialised postural therapy that uses breathing, stretching, and global muscle work to realign the body. The goal is to release chronic tension patterns and restore balance.
What conditions does the Mézières Method help with? It supports back pain, neck pain, sciatica, joint issues, postural imbalances, and chronic tightness. It’s also helpful for breathing dysfunction and stress-related tension.
How is the Mézières Method different from regular Physiotherapy or Osteopathy? It focuses on global muscle chains rather than isolated joints or regions. Sessions involve precise postures and guided breathing to address the root of muscular compensation.
What happens during a session? You’ll work through specific postures while we guide your breathing and release tight muscular patterns. Sessions are slow, precise, and deeply corrective.
How many sessions will I need? Most people feel changes within 5–6 sessions, but lasting postural improvement usually requires a short block of treatments. Frequency depends on the severity of your patterns.
Is this method suitable for chronic pain or postural issues? Yes, it’s particularly effective for long-standing tension and recurrent pain. It helps retrain your body to move with less effort and strain.
