Orthopaedic Massage Mastery: Postural Analysis

What if you could see what’s driving your client’s dysfunction before you even put your hands on them?

This hands-on seminar equips massage therapists with a systematic approach to postural assessment — a clinical skill that transforms how you evaluate and treat your clients.

You’ll train your eye to read the body from anterior, posterior, and lateral views, identifying deviations, asymmetries, and compensatory patterns that reveal the story behind your client’s pain. Along the way, you’ll deepen your understanding of functional anatomy — learning not just what to look for, but why it matters.

We’ll work through key landmarks from feet to head: foot position, knee alignment, pelvic tilts and rotation, spinal curvatures, scapular positioning, and head carriage. You’ll learn to connect the dots between what you observe and what you’ll find on the table.

Walk away with the ability to gather objective, measurable data that sharpens your clinical reasoning and complements your history intake and orthopaedic assessment findings. This is the skill that helps you break through when clients have plateaued.
