For this workshop we’re at the British School of Osteopathy (BSO)Teaching Centre, London
You can take this workshop as a stand-alone day or in conjunction with our Postural Assessment and Joint Assessment workshops.
A comprehensive workbook accompanies the day and a certificate of attendance is awarded. In addition to this, we automatically and informally assess all attendees. This ensures that you have reached a good understanding of the subject and are able to apply techniques safely and effectively.

Workshop snapshot
So you've identified that there is a problem with your client's posture. On this highly interactive workshop Jane Johnson, Chartered Physiotherapist, takes common postural problems and shows you how to treat them effectively, using massage, stretching and simple exercises.
What you’ll learn:
The big picture
Using your own workbook (provided), and with expert guidance, learn how to treat kyphotic postures, client’s with neck and lumbar pain due to increased lordosis, which muscles to stretch when the pelvis is anteriorly or posteriorly tilted, plus how to treat tight hip rotators or a tight iliotibial band.
Put together a postural aftercare programme for your clients that they can do at home between treatment sessions, and perhaps have some of your own postural ‘imbalances’ improved!
