Postural neurology is an evidence-based and neurologic approach to postural correction. Recent research from the American Journal of Epidemiology and Public Health (2021) shows that more than 70% of school-aged children present with moderate to severe forward head posture. The purpose of this session is to demonstrate the public health need for postural correction, and to show chiropractors practical solutions for postural correction that are neurologic, and evidence based. Participants will learn the neurology of the posture system, including the role of the visual system for head posture and orientation, the role of the vestibular system for postural stability, and the role of the sensory and motor cortex for sensorimotor integration. Participants will discover a comprehensive research review of how postural distortion patterns impact neurologic function. For clinical application, they will learn brain-based posture assessments and correction protocols to detect, analyze, and correct postural distortion patterns.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the learner will be able to:
1. Identify the public health and evidence-based need for postural correction
2. Implement neurologic posture assessments to identify postural distortion patterns
3. Implement neurologic rehabilitation for the correction of postural distortion patterns

10 minutes: What is posture and the neurology that controls the Posture System
15 minutes: Neurologic posture assessments
15 minutes: Neurologic postural correction
10 minutes: Q&A
