Logic doesn't always work. Earth would have been still flat by logic.
I do postural fixing too. But I dont make all the claims about fixing pain and that bad posture can cause pain.

No one said anything about fixing pain, the efficacy of many techniques that aim to fix or reduce pain is minimal. The key is prevention, with posture being a key variable (contrary to what your 'logic' seems to suggest). Come to think of it, you haven't even used your own logic, you've just copied what someone else has composed on some trashy looking site.
Assuming that the Earth is flat is illogical not logical, what would a spherical-like Earth look like?

I don't want to argue with you about logic. Doesn't help us get anywhere.

I wrote that article if that helps.
And it is not about how the site looks that matters. References is all that counts.
Good luck

Don't worry it was a rhetorical question.
I agree about the fitness industry jumping on the posture bandwagon and that posture pain is often multifactorial, however denying an ideal posture bewilds me and there is a defenite role for appropriate health professionals in regards to improving/correcting posture such as functional scoliolis.

I might agree there.
But here we are talking about scoliosis which is an obvious deformity.It cannot be grouped together with posture, like someone with a slouched posture.
And usually most fix their scoliosis bcos of cosmetic issues and not always due to pain. Though you would think they are always in constant pain.
Pain is really really a complex phenomenon.

Turns out I got lost as all hell and then something came up, so rescheduled for Wednesday. And we'll see how that goes. Thanks to everyone for input.
For the record, I believe my posture is just fine, but I'm curious as to what they'll have to say about it. Anyway the package deal is the same price as the body fat assessment alone for me.
