The problem
You can list ten findings.
But which one is the driver?
You assess. You find restrictions. You treat the loudest one. The patient improves for a week and the same picture returns, sometimes worse. The toolkit is not the problem. The lens is.
Most clinical training teaches you to identify findings. Very little teaches you to organise findings into a pattern, separate primary drivers from compensations, and act on the pattern rather than the noise.
That distinction is what the Clinical Triangle gives you. Live Cohort CPR is four weeks of guided practice using it.
what this is
A delivery format, not new IP.
The methodology is locked. CPR Made Simple already exists as a self-paced product with five lessons, observation guides, quick maps, quizzes, and synthesis worksheets. Live Cohort CPR wraps that same content in a four-week live container.
What changes is the room. Self-paced is a video and a workbook. The Cohort is a small group of practitioners thinking out loud together, with Nicholas live on the call, applying the Clinical Triangle to clinical pictures in real time.

The Four-Week Arc
One lens, applied four ways, in a coherent arc.
Each session is 90 minutes. Same architecture every week: 25 minutes of live teaching, 25 minutes of live demonstration on a clinical picture, 25 minutes of cohort Q&A, then a clear takeaway and a between-session prompt. No fade-outs.
WEEK 01
CPR Lesson 1
The pattern shift
The Clinical Triangle as your operating system.
Driver, Compensation, Function. The Reasoning Loop. Why a list of findings is not a pattern. The lens applied to a first demonstration case.
TAKEAWAY
You are not adding tools. You are adding a lens.
WEEK 02
CPR Lesson 2
The Pelvis Driver
First regional application of the lens.
The Pelvis Driver Quick Map in motion. Two cases in parallel: pelvis as driver, pelvis as compensation. Same finding, different role.
TAKEAWAY
The lens decides what you treat first. Not the finding.
WEEK 03
CPR Lessons 3 & 4
Same lens, different region
The Shoulder Driver as main teaching. Functional leg length as parallel illustration.
The Shoulder Driver is the main case: scapular base behaviour, signature compensations, the cervical and rib-cage entanglements. Functional leg length appears in the back half as a parallel illustration. Same lens, different region, unchanged methodology. The Stopping Rule introduced explicitly.
TAKEAWAY
The lens generalises. Region is not a driver. The Triangle is the method.
WEEK 04
CPR Lesson 5
Pulling it together
A multi-region case, run through the full Triangle live.
The Synthesis Worksheet in use. Driver, Compensations, Function across all three sub-dimensions. What you do back in the clinic on Monday.
TAKEAWAY
You leave with a working operating system, not a list of techniques.
the outcome
What you walk out able to do.
By the end of four weeks, the practitioner has a working method for handling a complex posture or movement presentation. Not new techniques. A new lens, with five concrete capabilities behind it.
01
Look at a complex posture or movement presentation and identify what is most likely driving the pattern.
02
Distinguish a primary driver from a compensation, with reasoning you can defend.
03
Decide what you would test next, with a hypothesis behind the test.
04
Explain your clinical reasoning to a colleague or referrer in language they can follow.
05
Stop treating the loudest finding just because it is loud.
The Visible Framework
The Clinical Triangle.
On screen, every session.
The Clinical Triangle has two expressions: a model for what you're looking at, and a loop for how you confirm it. Together, they form the reasoning engine behind every course at PostureGeek Learning.
The structural model
Every clinical picture sits inside three corners. Driver at the apex: the structural pattern setting the rest in motion. Compensation: the strategy the body uses to keep functioning around it. Function: how the system performs across capacity, intention, and structural demand.
The Reasoning Loop
Observe
Test
Intervene
Re-check
The loop is the working method. The triangle stays static; the reasoning runs around it.
three doors
Same methodology. Three ways in.
The Clinical Triangle is the same in all three. What differs is the format, the price, and the level of clinical exposure. Choose the door that matches where you are right now.

questions
The ones that come up before the form.
I already own CPR Made Simple. Is the Cohort worth it?
Most practitioners who own the self-paced course have not finished it, or have finished it and have not applied it consistently. The Cohort is the four-week container that turns the content into a working lens. The price reflects the live teaching, the small group, and the Q&A. Not the underlying course.
What if i miss a session?
Every session is recorded and available within 48 hours, accessible for 12 months. You can submit a written question in advance and have it answered in the recording you watch back.
Should I do this or the Case Review Clinic?
The Cohort teaches the methodology over four weeks, no case required. The Clinic walks one of your real cases live in a half-day workshop. Most practitioners do the Cohort first, then the Clinic when they have a specific case they are stuck on.
What modality is this for?
Any modality working with posture and movement. The Clinical Triangle is modality-inclusive. Past audiences have included physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, massage therapists, Pilates and yoga instructors, structural integrators, and movement coaches.
Is there a refund policy?
Full refund up to 7 days before Session 1. After that, your seat is held and the recordings remain accessible for the full 12-month window if you can no longer attend live.
Do I need to bring a case?
No. There is no case submission. Demonstration cases are mine, drawn from de-identified clinical material. The Cohort is the lower-friction door into live work.
