How do I use posture data to build a corrective action plan for clients?
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Posture data is most valuable when it drives a clear, actionable plan. This article outlines a repeatable workflow for translating Styku posture results into corrective priorities and measurable progress.
-
Scan the client and open the Posture & Alignment module.
-
Check Shoulder Shift and Hip Shift to identify whether deviations exist and in which direction (left or right).
-
Use the grid overlay to make asymmetries visually clear to the client. This helps them understand and take ownership of the findings.
-
Explain the likely contributors. Common causes of postural deviation include:
- Muscular overactivity on one side (e.g., tight hip flexors, elevated shoulder muscles)
- Muscular underactivity on the opposite side
- Soft-tissue restrictions along myofascial lines (e.g., lateral or posterior slings)
-
Set 2–3 corrective priorities. Avoid overwhelming the client. Focus on the most impactful deviations first.
-
Build a plan and schedule a re-scan in 4–6 weeks to objectively measure progress.
- Posture assessment is most effective when made part of every client consultation, not just initial onboarding scans.
- Framing posture results as objective data—rather than a critique—helps clients stay engaged and motivated.
- The trends graph in Styku Studio provides built-in visual evidence of improvement over successive scans, which is a powerful motivational tool.
If this resolves your issue, no further action is needed.
If the problem persists, contact support and include: the client profile, scan dates, and a description of what data is not displaying as expected.
