Reporter Jean Enersen shares on her HealthLink segment the benefits of checking your posture, plus how you can do it with the use of a free app called PostureZone.

Watch the clip below to hear Posture Expert Dr. Steven Weiniger’s tips for maintaining a healthy posture:

The Upper Body Posture Awareness Questionnaire (uPAQ) form was recently released and is available for free download from PostureMonth.org. If you’re working with people, posture, movement and wellbeing – be sure to use this form at the beginning of care in the assessment phase.

You and patients will gain valuable insights. The uPAQ form comes with instructions in the download.

Posture App – Screening Tip

Sometimes you don’t have time to process the posture picture at the time you take it.  This is common during busy patient visit times or during a posture screening or health talk.

With the PostureZone app you can take an image – but delay processing the picture until later.

Using your Gallery with PostureZone

• Take the images using your device camera (not the app)
• Later – when you have time, open PostureZone app
• Click Gallery (top right)
• Choose photo from the Camera Roll
• Process

This time saving tip will allow you to take a lot of pictures quickly and assess and create reports later.  Get the free PostureZone app! Don’t have it yet? Get PostureZone from iTunes (or from the app store on your device). (Download FREE PostureZone App for iPhone/iPad or Download the FREE PostureZone App for Android)

Just because the pain gone, it doesn’t mean the bio-mechanic issue(s) at fault are sustainably addressed. And, unfortunately, many patients discontinue care and stop doing commonly prescribed home rehab exercise, setting the stage for the problem to return.

Wherever the pain is – back, neck, knee, shoulder, etc. – when the problem returns, all too often the patient “forgets” their non-compliance, saying to themselves (and possibly others) that your care didn’t “fix” their problem.

Retention and Revenue

Rehab done right is the glue for patients to stick around after they ‘feel better’. 

Learn how building body awareness with posture consciousness begins with a framework to communicate the WHY of exercises individualized for their body. In the video below, Dr. Weiniger shows how the Balance, Alignment and Motion (BAM) tracks of the StrongPosture® exercise protocols and the PostureZone® model helps people understand the benefits of care while systematically engaging them as they experience improvement in doing their StrongPosture® exercise. Plus, when people see dramatic changes in their PostureZone® picture, they not only tell others – they show them!
