POSTURAL ASSESSMENT

(Observation and Evaluation Skills for Therapists)

 

There are several ways in which we can assess and evaluate our clients but out of these postural assessment is  an easy to incorporate tool for any therapist.

 

Through active participation in a series of practical exercises you will be introduced to an analysis of body mechanics. Alignment is viewed from different planes and takes into account how the body as a whole is positioned, how adjacent body parts relate to each other, and how alignment of individual parts relates to the whole. Awareness of discrepancies in the alignment of body segments is used to draw attention to the importance of interrelationships among body parts.

 

Join us for this hands-on day where by the end of the day you will be able to:

​

• INCREASE YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF POSTURE AND FACTORS AFFECTING IT

• CARRY OUT ACCURATE POSTURAL ASSESSMENTS

• IDENTIFY POSITIONS AND ACTIVITIES LIKELY TO BRING ABOUT POSTURAL STRESS

• COMPLETE A POSTURAL ASSESSMENT CHART

• IMPROVE POSTURE THROUGH:

• POSITIONING

• EXERCISE AND STRETCHING

 

This course is suitable for Massage Therapists who have already completed and achieved a recognised Full Body Massage and Anatomy & Physiology qualification. You will receive comprehensive guidance notes and information to take home with you, as well as continued support from our tutors following your successfully passing of your practical assessment at the end of the workshop.

All items required for the course will be provided by Body & Soul School of Complementary Therapy.
