Posture Profile Analysis ($20) Assessment

Posture is how you sit or stand. Good posture is important for maintaining a healthy spine and will help prevent muscle, back, and neck pain.

Symptoms of poor posture can include:

• Rounded shoulders
• Potbelly
• Bent knees when standing or walking
• Head that either leans forward or backward
• Back pain
• Body aches and pains
• Muscle fatigue
• Headache.

Poor posture interferes with the body’s postural mechanisms including:

• ‘Slow twitch’ and ‘fast twitch’ muscle fibres
• Muscle strength and length
• Nervous system feedback on the body’s position in space.
• How do we test posture and body alignment?

We test posture by a visual analysis of the body in anterior, posterior and lateral views.
