Seminar Overview

The Postural Assessment and Treatment Protocols seminar teaches the basic skills of postural assessment and what to do once an evaluation is completed. Case studies are included and experienced students are invited to bring their own case studies for review. Students develop a plan or "blueprint" that is used to apply the movements learned in other Practical Movement seminars.

This seminar may be taken by any practitioner interested in the exploration of posture and its effect on the body. The principles learned in this seminar stand alone and can be applied to any therapeutic soft tissue work.
