Posture scanning is a rehabilitation assessment technique used to evaluate an individual’s posture and identify any imbalances, asymmetries, or poor posture patterns. Posture scanning can be performed manually by a therapist or through advanced digital systems that capture body alignment data.
The goal of posture scanning is to identify areas of postural stress that may lead to pain or musculoskeletal issues, such as back pain or headaches. Based on the findings, a tailored treatment plan involving corrective exercises, stretches, and ergonomic adjustments is created.
Posture scanning is essential for identifying the root causes of pain and discomfort related to poor posture, helping to correct alignment and prevent future musculoskeletal problems.
