Training in Core Postural Alignment

This fascinating and unique course addresses the Physiological Efficient Posture (PEP). It looks at how the gravitational field can alter this to the detriment of our wellbeing. Affecting not just the skeletal and muscular systems but also the cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, energetic, excretory, fascial, immune, lymphatic and urinary systems.

Posture affects and moderates every physiological function, especially respiration, oxygenation and sympathetic function. It has been clinically observed that many symptoms, including pain, may be moderated or eliminated by improved posture. 
Core Postural Alignment uses gentle finger-tip pressure to encourage the body into its correct alignment. The posture is primarly assessed using a plumb line, identifying distortion patterns and formulating a bespoke alignment prescription.

A course of alignments aim to align your limbs and spine, placing your joints in a neutral position and therefore relieving stresses and strains on your muscles and ligaments. It is suitable for people of all ages and lifestyles, and may help promote health and well being.

The course aims:
  • To provide students with key background knowledge on the effects of gravity on the posture.
  • To give a greater understanding on alignment issues linked to the gravitational pull on the body.
  • How to assess the body for loss of primary alignment using a plumb line and other means.
  • To formulate a bespoke alignment prescription for each recipient, which will improve their primary alignment.
  • To provide the skills necessary to realign the client’s posture using specific hands-on techniques.
The training course is only open to existing, active practitioners who hold professional indemnity insurance.
At the end of the three-day training course participants will be able to integrate what they have learnt into their practices straight away. CPD - 24 contact hours. However:
  • It is the responsibility of each participant to establish whether expanding their clinical activity to incorporate practices covered during the training course is within the scope of the body that regulates their practice.
  • It is the responsibility of any participant who intends to extend the scope of their clinical practice, as a result of attending a training course, to ensure that they are appropriately insured to do so.

A Brief History

The original technique was conceived in 1914 and developed over the next 15 years by two chiropractors, Dr. John Hurley D.C. and Dr. Helen Sanders D.C.,PhC.

Kept pure by Dr. Francis Goes D.C. he taught it to Dr. LaMar Rosquist D.C. in the late 1950’s. Over the next 10 years he encouraged Dr. Rosquist to refine the original technique for the next generation.

In 1998 Dr. Allyn Edwards D.C. and Dr. Sue Weller D.C. became the first authorised tutors in Europe. They worked with Dr. Rosquist over the next 10 years to refine the technique again for their generation.

In 2008 Dr. Rosquist wrote to them and charged them with keeping this technique alive and with developing it further for posterity. Dr Rosquist died in 2012. 

Core Postural Alignment

Since 1998 Allyn & Sue have been using, teaching, experimenting and refining this technique in the light of a more modern understanding of anatomy and physiology. 

In 2014 they decided to change the name to Core Postural Alignment as this name better reflects what the technique had evolved into.

Core Postural Alignment has been influenced and modified by the work of:

Beyond the Plumb Line

This advanced course is only open to practitioners who have completed our Practitioner Course. It is a series of extra techniques which we have developed over the years. They are advanced techniques which will make the basic procedure more effective for recipients who are slow to respond.  Assessing non-ambulatory recipients, aligning recipients who can’t lie prone, and how to assess without a plumb line will also be covered.
