Walk barefoot and observe the full body for patterns and asymmetries. Assess stride, gait cycle, pelvis tilt, trunk rotation, head alignment, and note weakness, restriction, or neurological signs.
Use the Adams forward bending test to screen scoliosis by observing a rib hump during forward bending, then sideways bending to distinguish functional from structural scoliosis.

This course provides a practical and clinically focused approach to evaluating and correcting postural dysfunctions. Designed for physiotherapists, chiropractors, and other healthcare professionals, it equips you with the skills to perform accurate postural assessments and apply targeted treatment strategies.
You will learn both dynamic and static postural evaluations, including posterior and lateral assessments, scoliosis screening, and leg length evaluation when indicated. The course emphasizes hands-on observation and movement analysis, teaching you how to identify asymmetries in stride, heel strike, limb rotation, pelvic alignment, trunk rotation, shoulder position, and head levelness. These findings will guide your clinical reasoning and individualized treatment planning.
Treatment modules cover essential interventions to restore balance, mobility, and stability. You will explore heel lift therapy, spinal flexibility and mobility exercises, and strengthening techniques tailored to correct postural weaknesses. Lessons will highlight how to implement exercise programs that improve core stability, joint alignment, and muscular endurance.
Additionally, the course addresses hypermobility screening, an important step in identifying patients who may require modified treatment approaches. By integrating assessment with corrective strategies, you will develop a comprehensive framework for improving patient outcomes in musculoskeletal care.
By the end of this course, you will be confident in assessing posture dynamically and statically, identifying dysfunctions early, and applying effective treatment strategies to enhance patient function and prevent future complications.
This program combines theory, demonstration, and clinical application, making it a valuable tool for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
