Event description
Room F39/F40 - Kingswood Civic Centre


There will be an opportunity to practice a postural assessment and therefore you may like to bring a pillow and a mat.
You will also be expected to complete an assessment between the two training dates and therefore, it would be helpful to have this planned in

This is a one and half day course focusing on:

  • To refresh basic anatomy and biomechanics related to posture
  • To identify the secondary complications resulting from poor posture
  • To provide a structure for “hands on” assessment of posture
  • To provide opportunity to assess the posture of a peer
  • To provide a framework for postural analysis and management
  • Equipment selection. What you need to consider and why.
  • Review of armchair seating
  • Review of shower chairs
  • Application of knowledge through clinical scenario’s
