This is an assessment, which analyses the posture anteriorly (front on), Posteriorly (from the rear) and side on. The assessment always starts from the ankles and works upwards analysing and assessing all the major joints.
Posture has become a huge concern, particularly due to the increasing numbers of desk-bound workers. It is not necessarily the niggles and twinges that are the problem (although they are certainly warning signs of things to come); it is the long-term problems that arise from poor posture which are the issue. It is not very often that human nature considers the long-term effects, the focus tends to be on the here and now. This is why drug therapy is so popular and wide-spread; being able to take a pill, which gives instant relief from a problem, is far more appealing as it enables the patient to get back to their busy lifestyle. However, without taking time to seek expert advice and having a postural assessment, how do we know whether areas of this busy lifestyle are the cause?
Once all the information has been gathered from the Postural Assessment, I can analyse the data and design a specific postural correction programme, which will focus on weaknesses, imbalances and flexibility deficiencies.
This programme will be unique and solely designed for your individual body type. No postural programme is ever the same.
