Identifying Dysfunction: The 7 Functional Tests.

If you notice difference in one side to the other there is likely some misalignment and/or compensation 


Understanding posture begins with assessment. These seven simple but powerful functional tests help identify where the body is compensating or lacking mobility, stability, or control:


  • Standing Arm Circles – Assesses shoulder mobility and coordination
  • Stork Stand – Evaluates balance and core stability
  • Cats and Dogs – Examines spinal mobility and control
  • Hanging – If you can’t reach your toes, or feel excessive tension, it often indicates tightness or imbalance in the posterior chain
  • Runner’s Stretch – Identifies hip flexibility and asymmetry
  • Sitting in Extension – Assesses spinal extension and posture awareness
  • Child’s Pose – Reveals limitations in the spine, hips, and shoulders


Each test provides insight into how well the body is functioning as a whole, not just in isolated parts.
