A complete structural alignment and postural evaluation is necessary to ascertain the main deviations that have developed within the musculo-skeletal system of the body. Here is a quick reference check to evaluate your posture.

 Check Points (the back against a wall) OF DETERMINING OPTIMUM  STANDING POSTURE

 • Stand at ease, feet parallel, hip-width apart
• The heels touch the wall
• The knees are relaxed, neither bent nor hyper-extended
• The gluteals touch the wall and pelvis is neutral
• There is a light hollow space between the contact points of the neck, low back, and the wall
• The shoulder blades contact the wall
• The shoulders and hips are parallel to the ground
• The back of the head touches the wall, and the head lies directly over the trunk
• The ears align directly over the middle of the shoulders
• The eyes and chin are parallel to the ground
A general rule of thumb for maintaining optimum posture is to maintain maximum height without
feeling any strain in the muscles and joints.
