Plumb Line and Posture

Plumb Line and Posture

 

 

Upon meeting a new client or patient, one easy way to initiate your sessions is to assess their posture for any abnormalities.  A quick and easy way to do this is to set up a Plumb Line in your clinic.   

 
   

 

Have your client stand behind the plumb line in the appropriate position and observe.  Watch for a forward head posture, rounded shoulders, etc.  This will give you a great starting point regarding which muscles need stretching and which need strengthening.  Check out our Posture and Body Mechanics DVD for over 80 minutes of posture and body mechanics information and corrective strengthening/stretching exercises.
