Workshop snapshot
Being able to assess the posture of your clients is an invaluable skill. Did you know it is a myth most clients have ‘tight' rhomboids? How can having poor posture produce shoulder pain?
On this highly interactive day Jane Johnson, Chartered Physiotherapist focuses on postural assessment techniques for beginners.
In production ready for 2011 Jane's 3rd book in the Hands on Guides for Therapist series
What you’ll learn:
The big picture
Using your own workbook (provided), and with expert guidance, follow our step-by-step approach as you carry out a full postural assessment, learning to identify which muscles are short and tight and which are lengthened and weak.
Identify clients with kyphotic postures and learn how having tight hip flexors contributes to low back pain and hamstring imbalance. Also learn to identify hypermobile clients as well as having your own posture assessed if you choose.
