Postural Assessment for Beginners

By Jane Johnson

If you have spent any time at all in the massage world you will probably have heard of postural assessment. Like many of us, you have probably got more than your fare share of clients suffering from upper back and neck pain, perhaps resulting from the fact that they spend long hours slumped at a desk in front of a computer monitor with terrible posture. And like all good massage therapists you were probably taught to take a detailed case history before beginning treatment with each new client, asking about old injuries and ailments, as well as about current medical conditions, medication and possible contraindications. Once you have completed your case history, then what do you do? You probably help your client straight to the couch ready to receive treatment, and that is that.
