Songdo posture correction with before-and-after photos: Songdo Barun

Why I chose Songdo Barun Posture Correction

Songdo Barun Posture Correction (송도바른체형교정) is a newly opened posture correction studio in Songdo, Incheon. I went because my forward head posture and shoulder tightness had gotten really bad. I spend most of my day sitting these days, and at some point I could actually see my posture falling apart.

My body was already quite twisted, my forward neck was getting worse and worse, and my shoulders were constantly stiff, so I figured I should get it looked at. That's how I ended up at the newly opened Songdo Barun Posture Correction.

Songdo Barun Posture Correction: location, hours and parking

Songdo Barun Posture Correction is at 16 Incheontawo-daero 197beon-gil, Suite 238, 2nd floor, Yeonsu, Incheon, and is open Mon-Sat 10:00-21:00 (break 12:00-13:50, closed every Sunday). It's 100% by reservation with 1:1 personalized care, and there's a waiting area. Local currency payment is accepted, and you can park in the building.

Since Songdo Barun Posture Correction is 100% by reservation, I booked ahead, and I liked that I could go straight into my consultation without any waiting.

50% off the first session, with care from the director

There's also 50% off your first session, haha. Best of all, the director does the work personally rather than a staff member, which made me trust it even more.

Overall the studio is clean and tidy, and it felt comfortable from the moment I walked in.

They also run a review event and a referral event, haha. I have so many people around me who are achy and twisted, lol, so I should definitely send some their way.

How does the posture correction consultation work?

The first thing at Songdo Barun Posture Correction was the consultation, and it really impressed me. They don't just ask which areas bother you; they check your daily habits, whether you exercise, and your posture patterns one by one.

My body has been pretty twisted since I was little, T_T so it's off all over. Lately my forward neck is so bad that I keep getting headaches... sigh, there's not a single part of this body that's fine, lol. And of course I don't actually exercise or stretch, so it just seemed to keep getting worse.

Does hands-on posture work at Songdo Barun hurt?

Songdo Barun Posture Correction works by releasing the muscles directly and adjusting by hand. I think I was treated for well over an hour, lol. They're really thorough and careful.

What I liked is that it isn't just stimulating one spot; it takes your whole body's balance into account. They worked through the back, shoulders and pelvis as one connected chain, so it was easy to understand why each step was needed.

During the session the knotted areas loosened and felt great, and the pressure wasn't overly strong, so it was easy to take. (Still, it hurts a lot when they work out the knots... T_T) If you sit for long hours, you'll relate to the spots that got released.

Posture correction before-and-after photos: was there a difference?

At Songdo Barun Posture Correction they took before-and-after photos to check my condition, and in the photos I could clearly see posture differences I never notice day to day. My left shoulder especially... it was raised so much T_T T_T My whole body was crooked.

When I compared the photos after the session, my posture looked a bit more settled than at first. My neck position and shoulder line looked more balanced than before, which was amazing to see.

This was the before and after that amazed me most. I was honestly shocked by the before photo T_T I was so twisted. After the session it felt like a big change (touched). Of course, it's hard to say one visit changes everything, but I could clearly feel the difference myself.

Does Songdo Barun teach home stretches after the session?

Another thing I was happy with at Songdo Barun Posture Correction was that they taught me home care. They explained simple stretches and posture habits I can do in daily life, so it felt like they were helping me look after myself even after the session.

• Weak points in my spine and lower back, and postures to be careful about
• Simple stretches I can do easily

Because they told me these things, it didn't end as a one-off trial; I got a direction for caring for my body consistently.

Who is Songdo Barun Posture Correction right for?

If you work seated for long hours like me, or you're conscious of your posture, Songdo Barun Posture Correction seems worth trying once. Just keep in mind that body types and habits differ from person to person, so the changes you feel may differ too.

I'm feeling that looking back at your basic posture matters more than just exercising, so I'm going to start changing my habits little by little. (This time I'll really stick with it.... T_T lol) If you're thinking about posture correction or body care in Songdo, Incheon, Songdo Barun Posture Correction is worth a look bb
