Postural Deviations and Spine's Appearance
Appearance is best observed from the side, front and back. Have client also flex forward and notice the vertebra that appear to not be as flexible. These areas are usually areas where the person is stuck on specific issues. To find out what issues they are stuck on find what vertebra are immobile and look at the above table to determine the associated organs. Also take note of areas of maximum flexibility – this usually shows the predominant behaviour pattern that is being used to achieve motivations.
The meaning of the various postural deviations is given in the table below.
Posture | Meaning |
|---|---|
Rotated Spine | Strong emotional dysfunction related to that area of the body |
Spine not flexible in an area | Shows where client closed down |
Scoliosis | Defensive, closed hearted, hurt |
Kyphosis | Focussed on doing, metal |
Lean forward posture (forward translation of pelvis and forward head position) | Continuously active, over-driven, does not relax, commonly Bl constitution or Wood |
Sway back | Fear and withdrawal |
Lordosis | Disconnected from core, Earth issues |
Left sided/ right sided imbalance | Yin/ yang |
Strong wide jaw | Wood |
Pointed chin forwards | Water |
