Posture PDF reports for patients: structure, clarity, and clinical defensibility
A PDF often outlives the visit. Patients share it with trainers, employers, or family. Structure reports so they educate, document scope, and protect your clinic from misinterpretation. This guide assumes you generate documents from a platform such as PosturalCheck.
At a glance
- Front-load purpose, date, operator, and capture conditions.
- Separate observations, measurements, and recommendations clearly.
- Include a concise limitation statement on static assessment.
Sections that referrers and patients actually read
Start with patient identifiers, visit date, and protocol name. Follow with a short narrative summary, then measurement tables or graphics, then recommendations tied to goals. Avoid burying limitations in microscopic footnotes; place them where a lay reader still notices.
Language that builds trust
Use plain words for headings and keep clinical abbreviations expanded once. Tie each metric to meaning: “what we will watch next visit.” If you show angles, include the capture rule in one sentence so the number is not free-floating.
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.

If you use studio branding, ensure logo, colours, and contact blocks match your public website. Mismatched branding confuses patients and weakens perceived legitimacy. PosturalCheck supports organisation-level presentation—configure it once during onboarding.
Export settings worth reviewing monthly
Audit which staff roles may export, whether watermarks appear, and filename conventions. Consistent exports reduce email chaos and make medico-legal retrieval faster if a question arises months later.
