Posture often goes unnoticed in daily life, yet it can reveal much more than just physical health. In 1996, Westerbeek conducted a study that explored the relationship between posture and personality, offering valuable insights into how the way we carry ourselves reflects who we are. This blog post examines Westerbeek’s findings and discusses how posture can serve as a window into personality traits, influencing both self-perception and social interactions. How Posture Reflec

Maintaining balance and posture is a complex task that the human body performs continuously without conscious effort. One key factor influencing posture control is visual input. The 1997 study by Elderfield G, titled Effects of visual stimulation on posture control mechanisms in man , explores how visual stimuli affect the body's ability to maintain posture. Understanding this relationship helps explain why vision plays such a crucial role in balance and how disruptions in vi

The Sensory Organization Test (SOT) is a widely used clinical tool designed to assess balance and postural control by evaluating how individuals use sensory inputs to maintain stability. Despite its popularity, questions remain about how consistently practitioners apply SOT categorisation and whether these categories accurately reflect the underlying postural sway patterns. A 2001 study by Brauner, Humphreys, and Warren addressed these concerns by examining the validity and r

Postural assessment plays a crucial role in understanding musculoskeletal health and guiding clinical interventions. The Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) is a chiropractic method that categorizes patients based on specific biomechanical and neurological patterns. A student-led project by Faulkner JR and Warren M. (2001) investigated whether measurable postural patterns align with SOT categories, aiming to bring more objectivity to clinical decision-making. This article explore

A Review of Faulkner & Warren (AECC Project List, 2001) In 2001, a student research project at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) explored an important clinical question: Is there an association between postural analysis findings and Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) categorization? The study — Faulkner JR (student), Warren M (Tutor). An investigation to ascertain any association existing between postural analysis and SOT categorisation. AECC Project List, 2001
