Using Posture to Guide
Assessment and Treatment
THE
POSTURE
WINDOW
By Yoni Whitten, DC
Posture offers us a window through which we are able to glimpse the inner
workings of our clients' minds and bodies. When employed properly, this "postural
window" allows us to better understand how to meet the specific needs of each
client. Among other things, the postural window can direct us to which assessments
and techniques are likely to yield the greatest benefit, which area of the body to
begin with, and which areas to avoid—and enables us to explain the issues to
our clients more effectively so as to engage them in their own healing/recovery.
