Postural Assessment

Postural assessment is the process of evaluating how a person’s body is aligned when standing, sitting, or moving. It helps identify imbalances or asymmetries in muscles, joints, and bones that may cause discomfort or movement issues. By observing posture, healthcare professionals can determine if there are any areas of strain or misalignment and develop targeted strategies or exercises to improve posture, enhance movement efficiency, and reduce injury risk. This assessment is a useful tool for maintaining optimal physical health and addressing problems related to posture habits.
