Postural assessment

This course is for any practitioner who wishes to add postural assessment to their current practice. The main objective is to teach the student how to detect and recognize posture imbalances. Topics that will be covered include the development of human posture, from birth to adulthood, morphotypes and postural variations according to human occupations. Participants will learn the different postures of everyday life, how to evaluate these postures as well as how to interpret and document the results obtained in a therapeutic context. The purpose of this work is to help built a clinical opinion; it does not, in any way, constitute a diagnosis.
