Posture Evaluation​
$125
​
Required for all new clients embarking on Postural Alignment Therapy. A posture evaluation is used to identify imbalances, compensations, and misalignments within your musculoskeletal system. Rather than focusing solely on the site of your pain, this evaluation looks at your body as a functional whole. It compares your current standing and moving posture to the "Design Blueprint"—the natural, stacked alignment of your shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles.​
​
During the evaluation, we analyze how your body has adapted to gravity, daily habits, and past injuries.
This process typically includes:
​​​​
Static Analysis
Observing your alignment from the front, back, and sides to see how your "four load-bearing joints" are positioned.
Functional Testing
Simple movements or "stress tests" to see which muscles are overworking and which have become dormant.​
Digital Documentation
Taking photos from multiple angles to create a baseline, allowing us to track your structural changes over time.​​
What to expect
What to expect
​​​​​​​​​​​
-
We will point out exactly where your body is compensating and explain why those imbalances are causing your specific symptoms.
-
The evaluation isn't just about finding problems; it’s about finding solutions. You will leave with a custom-tailored "Menu" of E-cises (stretches and movements) designed to bring your body back into balance.
-
To get the most accurate assessment, you will be asked to wear form-fitting athletic clothing (such as shorts and a tank top/t-shirt) so that your joint positions are clearly visible.
-
Based on the findings of the evaluation, the session may conclude with 15 minutes of corrective manual therapy to target identified structural restrictions.
-
As we go through the initial movements, we will constantly check in on how your body feels, ensuring the plan is working to restore your function from the ground up.
-
This service might take up to 90 minutes depending on complexity.
Posture Follow-Up​
$105
​
A posture follow-up is a strategic check-in designed to evolve your corrective program as your body changes. This is a process of "chipping away" at long-standing compensations, your needs will shift as your alignment improves. The follow-up ensures you don't plateau and that your exercises remain effective for your current state of balance.​
​
In a typical follow-up session, we move beyond the initial discovery phase and focus on refinement:
​​​​
Progress Tracking
We take updated photos to objectively compare your current alignment to your baseline photos from the initial evaluation.
Menu Evolution
Based on your body's changes, we will design a new, updated menu of E-cises. As your joints realign, we introduce different movements to target deeper imbalances.
Form Correction
We review your current exercises to ensure your technique is perfect, making any necessary adjustments to maximize the benefit of each movement.
Re-Assessment
We perform a new visual posture to see how your body has responded to your previous "menu" of exercises.
What to expect
What to expect
​​​
​
-
We will discuss your experience over the past week or two—what felt good, what was challenging, and where you are noticing changes in your daily life or pain levels.
-
As your body becomes more functional, the exercises often evolve from "gentle reminders" to movements that build greater stability and strength.
-
You aren't just a passive participant; we work together to find the specific movements that make the biggest impact on your unique body on that specific day.
-
Follow-ups are typically scheduled every 1–2 weeks in the beginning phases. As your posture stabilizes, the frequency decreases until you move into a long-term maintenance phase.
-
If specific restrictions are identified, your re-assessment may include 15 minutes of corrective manual therapy to begin addressing them immediately.
-
This service will be booked for 60 minutes.
Top Benefits of Good Posture
Significant Reduction in
Back and Neck Pain
Minimizes strain on ligaments and muscles by maintaining the spine's natural curves, preventing chronic back and neck aches.
Enhances Confidence
Expansive, tall postures are clinically shown to increase feelings of power, assertiveness, and self-esteem in social and professional settings.
Increases Lung Capacity
Opening the chest allows the diaphragm to expand fully, significantly increasing oxygen intake and improving overall respiratory efficiency.
Strengthens the Core
Properly holding your frame naturally engages the abdominal and back muscles, building functional strength through daily activities.
Boosts Energy Levels
Proper alignment lets muscles work efficiently, preventing the fatigue caused by the body overcompensating for poor, unbalanced positioning.
Aids Digestion
Prevents compression of internal organs, allowing the gastrointestinal system to process food properly and reducing issues like acid reflux.
Improves Mood
Research links upright posture to lower cortisol levels, reducing negative thoughts and helping to alleviate symptoms of mild depression.
Prevents Tension Headaches
Corrects "forward head posture," which reduces strain on the neck muscles that commonly trigger chronic tension-type headaches.
