Postural Assessment
Observational, Analytics, Practical, Objective


Join experienced clinician and educator Clare Riddell for this insightful 1-day Postural Assessment Course, designed to enhance your ability to assess, understand, and address postural imbalances in your clients. Postural alignment plays a crucial role in movement efficiency, pain patterns and injury risk. This CPD-accredited course provides a practical and clinical approach to analysing posture, helping you identify underlying issues that may be contributing to discomfort, dysfunction, or limited performance. You’ll learn how to assess static and dynamic posture, observe alignment across multiple planes, and recognise compensatory patterns. The course covers common postural deviations, muscular imbalances, and how they relate to client symptoms and movement dysfunctions. Through hands-on practice and guided observation, Clare will help you develop the confidence to use postural assessment as a valuable tool in your clinical reasoning and treatment planning. Ideal for sports therapists, massage therapists, movement professionals, physiotherapists, and bodyworkers, this course will strengthen your diagnostic skills and improve your treatment outcomes. Held in Nottingham, the course welcomes professionals from across the UK who want to deepen their understanding of posture and improve their overall assessment strategy.
