Posture Evaluation
Posture evaluation is the process of assessing an individual's body alignment and positioning while standing, sitting, or moving. This assessment helps identify any deviations from the ideal posture, which can lead to discomfort or pain. Professionals often use visual observation and specific measurements to determine the alignment of the spine, shoulders, and hips.
During a posture evaluation, practitioners may also consider factors such as muscle imbalances and flexibility. This information can guide recommendations for exercises, stretches, or ergonomic adjustments to improve overall posture and prevent potential injuries. Proper posture is essential for maintaining musculoskeletal health and enhancing overall well-being.
