How to Assess Weak Posture with Brain-Based Posturofunctional Examination

Integral part of the assessment process for treating weak posture and pain associated with it are Brain-based Posturofunctional exams. We really need to understand how the brain is communicating with the body.

In clients with upper cross syndrome we often see that the brain has memorized the abhorrent pattern, so it's not necessarily a muscular imbalance problem when it comes to forward head posture. Assessing and differentiating between the two will allow you to accurately and effectively treat your clients through manual therapy and bodywork.

In an attempt to upgrade Vladimir Janda’s research on Upper Cross Syndrome, using current brain-based understandings, I review the evolution of upright head posture and discuss the neurologic role of muscular imbalance. I also demonstrate myoskeletal graded exposure techniques I found helpful in relieving postural stress, improving cognition and increasing body awareness.
