A typical visit will include:

• discussing symptoms
• performing a postural assessment
• developing a menu of exercises for the client's specific condition to perform daily on his/her own
• going through the exercises with the client to ensure they are suitable and understood
• taking postural photographs (during first and periodic visits)for discussion with the client to assist in understanding of why the postural misalignments are responsible for the pain

Proper attire for visits should allow for assessment of joint position, particularly shoulders, spinal alignment, hips, knees and ankles. Men should preferably wear shorts, tee shirt, socks, and tennis shoes, with the shirt removed for assessments and photos. Women should wear shorts, an upper garment such as sports bra, socks and tennis shoes.

The therapist will assess posture, with the client standing naturally (not in a posed position). With a client's permission, bones will be palpated (felt) to determine position.
