What is Postural Analysis?
Muscle imbalances can cause postural deviations, pain, and increase the risk of injury from resulting muscle compensation patterns. By identifying these imbalances, we can create a plan that corrects issues and breaks the pain cycle from the cause, instead only addressing the symptom.
Client evaluations are comprised of a postural analysis and various orthopedic assessments, within the scope of practice for massage therapy & personal training. Specific assessments vary from client to client based on their needs, goals, and medical history. This information provides a baseline moving forward and will be used to demonstrate objective postural changes over time.

Massage therapy can help reduce pain and muscle tension, but understanding why those patterns continue to return allows for more effective long-term care planning.
By evaluating posture and movement together, we can better identify:
