Your journey to healthy posture starts with an online tele-PT posture screen with a medically licensed and HPC certified physical therapist. During this 20-minute screening you will be asked to perform 4 functional movements; 2 seated and 2 standing. If you are not able to get into neutral spine alignment or maintain it during these movement screens you will be prescribed the Healthy Posture Club to restore your ability to function from healthy posture. To purchase and schedule your posture screen follow the instructions below.

Safety Disclaimer
During your posture screening your HPC physical therapist may identify that you have joint instabilities and/or or joint misalignments that warrant physical therapy guided onboarding. This will require the purchase of an Injury Management 8-pack. A HPC physical therapist will use these 8 digital coaching sessions to identify what specific joint clearing techniques should be included in your Start Your Day Routine. Once you are independent with your prescribed Start Your Day Routine, you will be progressed to the Neutral Spine Conditioning phase of care and begin working with a neutral spine conditioning specialist.
After your Posture Screen
After your posture screen you will likely be prescribed the Neutral Spine Conditioning 8-pack. A customer care specialist will purchase and schedule out the 8 digital coaching sessions included in this package.

What is a Digital Coaching Sessions?
A digital coaching session is when you are guided through a workout with a HPC physical therapist or movement educator through Skype. Prior to each coaching session, you will be emailed a screener to watch. You will be asked to watch that workout just prior to your scheduled coaching session. During your coaching session you will be asked to perform that workout. If you perform each exercise properly with minimal verbal cues needed to maintain neutral spine alignment, you will be provided the password for that workout with instructions for self-care until your next digital coaching session.
Neutral spine conditioning workouts are not just fitness workouts, they rewire your movement patterns, this is called neural integration. When done properly you progress forward in your goal of conditioning yourself to move from healthy posture to break faulty loading patterns that cause pain. Exercises performed outside of neutral spine alignment reinforce these faulty loading patterns. That is why we have such a structured systems for movement instruction and home program communications.
