Integrated Posture Assessment Framework (IPAF): Mastering Posture Analysis and Clinical Reasoning

IPAF Integrated Posture Assessment Framework Course

See Posture Differently. Act With Precision.

A clinically intelligent system to assess posture as a dynamic story, not just alignment.

Built for practitioners who want clarity, confidence, and consistency in every assessment.

Quick Overview

The Integrated Posture Assessment Framework (IPAF) gives you a clear, adaptable, and clinically intelligent way to assess posture and movement.

Built on decades of cross-disciplinary experience, IPAF moves beyond the idea of posture as a fixed structure. Instead, it reveals posture as a dynamic expression of adaptation, strain, and potential.

Whether you are refining your skills or learning posture assessment from the ground up, IPAF provides a complete and repeatable framework that strengthens your reasoning, improves your treatment planning, and enhances your client results.
