Required Videos & Images
Below is the full list of movements and tests. Follow the camera instructions exactly
A. Static Posture Assessment (4 images)
Capture 4 clear images, one from each angle, standing tall, relaxed, and breathing normally.
To ensure we can accurately assess spinal alignment, pelvic position, and movement patterns, we require clothing that fits close to the body.
Men: compression shorts or fitted underwear.
Women: compression shorts or fitted underwear, along with a sports bra or snug-fitting top.
This allows us to deliver the most precise and effective assessment while maintaining professionalism at all times.
1. Posture – Front View

2. Posture – Side View (Right)
