In conclusion, ethical and professional considerations are crucial in posture analysis.

Health professionals must ensure that they are conducting posture analysis in a

plan. By doing so, health professionals can help to prevent and treat musculoskeletal

disorders and improve the overall health and well-being of their patients.
