How Do We Do A
Posture Check?
With an ipad we take 2 pictures of you in the upright/standing position; one from the side and one from the front.
We then add in your height and weight and the software will provide me with a detailed analysis of all 4 posture quadrants.
What are they?
Posture quadrant 1 …. your head and neck. The most important posture quadrant.
Posture quadrant 2 …. your thoracic spine, ribcage, shoulders and arms.
Posture quadrant 3 …. your lumbar spine and pelvis.
Posture quadrant 4 …. your legs from the hip joint to the foot.

This posture scan is an excellent screening tool for 2 things; scoliosis and forward head posture (tech neck).
Our last 2 posts were regarding scoliosis and if you haven’t seen them yet, you can scroll down and check them out right here.
Previous to the scoliosis posts, there are 3 or 4 posts regarding tech neck and its associated health conditions.
One reason why posture quadrant #1 is the most important quadrant is because postural collapse here if left undetected and uncorrected, will cause eventual collapse of posture quadrant #2 and #3 both.
So, the posture check is non-invasive, it’s highly informative and quite predictive of potential, future health issues.
Remember that we offer as a community service, complimentary posture checks here at Life Chiropractic Centre.
