Our pilot course is a prerequisite designed to equip you with essential skills
in both static and dynamic postural assessment.
Sharpen your eye for identifying postural faults and deepen your understanding of body mechanics. This online course will guide you step-by-step as you assess your clients’ posture
and determine the corrections they need to move and feel better.
1. The Fundamentals of Postural Assessment
- How to observe and assess static posture for alignment and symmetry.
- The significance of postural assessment in diagnosing musculoskeletal issues.
2. Identifying Postural Faults
- Common postural imbalances and the anatomical structures involved.
- Techniques to recognize and categorize different postural deviations.
3. Spinal Curvatures and Their Role in Posture
- The difference between natural and abnormal spinal curvatures.
- How spinal alignment affects overall body mechanics and health.
4. Executing Static Postural Assessments
- What to look for in static assessments and key landmarks to observe.
- Practical steps for evaluating clients’ posture in a neutral, standing position.
5. Dynamic Postural Assessments
- How to assess posture through movement in the frontal, sagittal, and transverse planes.
- Analyzing movement patterns to identify muscular imbalances and compensations.
By the end of this course, students will have the skills and knowledge to confidently conduct thorough postural assessments and implement corrective strategies for clients or patients.

Welcome to "The Complete Guide for Postural Assessment"!
Postural assessment is a critical skill that involves observing static alignment and assessing anatomical landmarks for symmetry. This thorough analysis helps uncover the root causes of musculoskeletal injuries and imbalances. Left uncorrected, postural faults can lead to chronic pain, injury, and long-term structural changes in the body. Addressing these imbalances early is key to preventing further complications.
In this course, you'll gain the knowledge and skills needed to perform both static and dynamic postural assessments. You'll learn how to analyze spinal curvatures, identify common postural faults, and understand the structures involved. You'll also master how to assess movement across the frontal, sagittal, and transverse planes to create a comprehensive picture of your client's posture.
By the end of the course, you'll be able to use your findings to design personalized, client-specific treatment plans that address the underlying causes of muscular imbalances, ensuring lasting results.
Ideal for healthcare and fitness professionals, including physiotherapists, chiropractors, personal trainers, sports therapists, kinesiologists, bodybuilders, and athletes, this course will sharpen your ability to identify and manage postural issues effectively.
