A Comprehensive Guide to Postural Assessment and Treatment

In her book, "Postural Clinical Diagnosis: A Practical Guide," Angela Santos provides a comprehensive and practical approach to postural assessment and treatment.

Understanding Postural Dysfunctions

The book begins by introducing the concept of postural dysfunctions and their impact on overall health and well-being. Santos explains how postural imbalances can lead to pain, muscle weakness, and decreased mobility, as well as contribute to chronic conditions such as headaches, back pain, and joint problems.

Comprehensive Postural Assessment

Santos then presents her step-by-step approach to postural assessment, which includes a thorough evaluation of the spine, pelvis, and extremities. She provides detailed instructions on how to identify postural deviations, muscle imbalances, and movement dysfunctions.

Evidence-Based Treatment Strategies

The book also includes a variety of evidence-based treatment strategies for postural dysfunctions. Santos discusses the importance of addressing the root cause of postural problems, rather than simply treating the symptoms. She provides specific exercises, stretches, and manual therapy techniques that can be used to improve posture and reduce pain.

Case Studies and Clinical Pearls

Throughout the book, Santos shares case studies and clinical pearls from her own practice. These real-world examples illustrate how postural assessment and treatment can help patients achieve significant improvements in their health and quality of life.
