Global Postural Assessment Method steps

Answer 1

1. Describe the skeletal geometry
   (where is the skeleton in space, and what are the inter-skeletal relationships?)
2. Assess the soft tissue pattern creating or maintaining that position
   (individual muscles or mayofascial meridians.)
3. Synthesize an integrating story that accounts for as much of the overall pattern as possible
4. Create a short or long-term strategy to resolve the undesirable elements of the pattern.
5. Evaluate and revise the strategy in the light of observed results and palpatory findings.
