Postural Assessment Instructions for Photos

Clothing: Please wear a jog bra (women) or shirtless (men). No one sees these photos but me. If you are uncomfortable doing so, please wear a light colored shirt as tight as is comfortable. Please be barefoot. Please wear shorts or tight exercise pants (e.g. yoga pants) rolled up; I need to be able to see your knees.
For all posture photos, please stand as naturally as possible…imagine you are standing in line at the grocery store and no one is observing you! Do not try to “stand up tall” or alter your normal posture in any way! The more naturally you stand, the better the information I gather from your photos.
Use a vertical orientation for the camera and try to have it be as straight as possible. If there is anything with a straight line (e.g. door or window frame) behind you, please try to line up the camera so that the object is vertical and not angled.
Please take two side profile photos — one from each side. Please make sure I can see from your feet to your head.
Please take a photo facing the camera. Please make sure I can see from your feet to your head.
Please take a photo facing away from the camera. Please make sure I can see from your feet to your head.
Repeat steps 3-5 with your feet together. You will end up with two sets of photos: one with your natural stance, and one set with your feet together.
Upload the photos to your dropbox link (if you do not have a link, please email me at margy@flowmotioneducation.com to request one).
