How PosturalCheck works: from patient and protocol to analysis and PDF
This article explains the product flow the way you would explain it to a new colleague on day one. It is not a substitute for in-app training or your clinical procedures.
At a glance
- Everything sits under an organisation: patients, analyses, and credits are shared according to your subscription and permissions.
- You choose a structured protocol, take the required photos, then start an analysis type; each type spends a fixed number of credits.
- Outputs stay on the patient timeline and can become a PDF report for the patient or referrers—clinical interpretation remains yours.
What PosturalCheck is (in one paragraph)
PosturalCheck is cloud software for professional practices that want a repeatable posture assessment pipeline: structured photo capture, assisted measurements, history per patient, and exportable PDF reports. It does not replace clinical examination, diagnosis, or treatment decisions.
Organisation, operators, and patients
Your clinic uses an organisation account. Operators log in with their own identity; administrators can limit who creates patients, who runs analyses, and who downloads PDFs. Each patient has a file where analyses are listed in chronological order so reassessment stays comparable when you keep the same protocol rules.
Protocols and photos before you press “analyse”
A protocol is a predefined set of views (for example full-body posture, cervical-focused, or podiatric packs). The app guides which photos to take so landmarks and comparisons stay consistent. Poor photos still produce weak numbers—your studio’s capture checklist matters as much as the software.
How many credits does each analysis type use?
Fast, Standard, Advanced, and Dynamic analyses use different credit amounts—there’s a dedicated guide in this hub; Pricing also has plans and FAQs on monthly renewal.
Explore pricingStarting an analysis and spending credits
When photos are ready, you choose an analysis type (Quick, Standard, Advanced, or Dynamic). Each type consumes a fixed number of credits from your plan when the analysis runs. Workout-plan generation uses credits separately. For the current credit table and planning tips, read the companion article on credits and your internal finance lead.
Results, PDFs, and what you tell the patient
After processing you review measurements and graphics in context of your exam. You can generate a PDF aligned to your templates or branding options, depending on plan. Explain to patients that the document describes alignment and measurements under your capture rules—not an automatic diagnosis.

Common questions
- Does the app decide the diagnosis?
- No. It supports measurement and documentation. Clinical meaning and decisions stay with the licensed professional and local regulations.
