Postural Assessment for Massage Therapists (Feb 5 2025)

Date: February 5th 2025 @ 6pm PST
Location: Online Webinar over Zoom

Does posture matter? You probably learned postural assessment as part of your training. You have also probably have read that there is no evidence that poor posture causes pain. So which is it? Does posture matter and should you include it in your assessment and treatment?

It depends.
Published literature tells us that posture is not a cause of pain yet most health care professionals think it is an important part of clinical practice. There is a confusing gap between research and clinical expertise. This confusion often creates polarized opinions that lead clinicians to reject postural assessment entirely or focus too strongly on it. This webinar is about understanding that confusion, navigating the ‘grey’ of clinical reasoning and learning the simple tools that will help you determine if posture matters, for each patient.
