Dynamic Posture Assessment enables students to identify compensatory movement patterns, neuromyofascial imbalances, joint alignment changes, and kinetic-chain dysfunction through functional movement analysis.

Rather than evaluating only the painful area or following a fixed massage routine, students learn to observe how the whole body moves as a kinetic chain and identify which region may need to be assessed or addressed first.

🔸 Based on these sports medicine findings, students learn when to apply Trigger Point Therapy, Deep Tissue Massage, Dynamic Myofascial Release, Sports Massage, or corrective movement training, individually or in combination, according to each client’s movement and postural needs.

🔸 Course Fee — THB 7,000 for the two-day course (8 teaching hours)

Saturday and Sunday, 10:00–12:00 / 13:00–15:00.

The total fee includes:
• Gym admission for both days
• Round-trip taxi transport to and from the gym
• Movement video recording and dynamic postural analysis

🔸 This course refines the practical application of RSM’s core methods—Trigger Point Therapy, Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, and Dynamic Myofascial Release—through dynamic movement assessment, kinetic-chain analysis, posture correction, and functional assessment.

It is especially valuable for students who already have hands-on massage or sports massage skills and want to progress from simply applying techniques to understanding where the movement problem may be, what should be prioritized, and why a particular technique should be selected.

This Dynamic Posture Assessment & Kinetic Chain Training Course combines individualized postural assessment with biomechanical and movement analysis to identify postural misalignment, habitual movement errors, and kinetic-chain compensation.

Each participant receives visual and practical feedback to better understand how their own posture and movement patterns influence mobility, pain, and physical performance.

🔸 Postural optimization and corrective training are adapted to each participant’s physical condition, lifestyle, and professional goals—from pain management and rehabilitation-oriented movement to athletic conditioning and sports performance.

Balance Ball Yoga™ was developed by Hironori Ikeda through nearly 30 years of sports medicine, massage, movement, and performance training, building on his graduate studies in sports science at the University of Tsukuba, Japan.

The method combines unstable-surface training, proprioceptive input, neuromuscular control, and whole-body kinetic-chain coordination to develop dynamic postural stability.

🔸 Balance balls and unstable surfaces challenge the body to coordinate the feet, pelvis, spine, shoulders, and core as one kinetic chain, helping students understand how proprioception and neuromuscular control influence posture, movement efficiency, rehabilitation, injury prevention, and sports performance.

Static postural assessment allows physiotherapists, sports trainers, yoga and Pilates instructors, and massage therapists to observe spinal alignment, joint positioning, and muscular tension.

However, static observation alone may not reveal restrictions or compensatory patterns that become visible only during walking, balance, spinal movement, shoulder movement, or other functional tasks.

🔸 Through Dynamic Posture Assessment and real-time movement analysis, students learn to recognize muscular imbalance, limited range of motion, asymmetrical loading, pain-avoidance behavior, and kinetic-chain compensation that static assessment may miss.

This is why RSM emphasizes dynamic movement assessment rather than relying only on static alignment.

This practical module uses Dynamic Postural Assessment and kinetic-chain analysis to identify movement dysfunction, postural instability, and compensatory patterns under functional load.

Using BOSU balls, balance discs, balance balls, unstable surfaces, walking, and other functional movement tasks, students observe how the body responds and compensates in real time.

🔸 Students learn to recognize common patterns including Upper and Lower Crossed Syndromes, myofascial restrictions, neuromuscular imbalance, pain-avoidance movement, and post-surgical compensation.

Training integrates manual therapy, stretching, neuromuscular training, and corrective movement strategies according to each client’s condition and goals.

Dynamic Postural Assessment and kinetic chain assessment help therapists understand how posture, joint mobility, pain-avoidance movement, and compensatory patterns may influence muscle tension and movement.

Rather than following the same massage routine for every client, students learn to observe movement, identify the priority area, and choose a more appropriate treatment strategy based on functional movement assessment.

🔸 This Dynamic postural assessment course helps students use movement findings to plan more individualized massage, posture correction, rehabilitation, and sports-performance work.

The training focuses on four core techniques essential for structural assessment and therapeutic application:

🔸 Trigger Point Therapy for pain relief and compensatory movement correction

🔸 Deep Tissue Massage for restoring joint mobility and fascial release

🔸 Dynamic Myofascial Release for addressing nerve glide and myofascial tension

🔸 Breathing and Spine Mobility for postural control through spinal mechanics and breathwork

Even experienced therapists may not recognize their own postural compensation, movement asymmetry, and kinetic-chain imbalance until their movement is assessed from the outside.

During the course, Hironori Ikeda, MSc Sports Medicine, personally reviews your posture and movement, using practical assessment and video analysis to identify compensation, mobility restrictions, and movement patterns that may be difficult to notice yourself.

🔸 By experiencing the assessment on your own body, you learn how to recognize similar movement patterns in clients and develop a more accurate approach to massage, posture correction, rehabilitation, and sports performance.
