Evaluate your alignment and detect imbalances
evaluate your posture
What do we do?
We discover the origin of your ailments
At UMANA, we perform a comprehensive biomechanical posture study to assess your body alignment and detect imbalances. We analyze more than 120 parameters of your position and movement to identify postural alterations that affect your health. In addition, we determine the origin of these imbalances, distinguishing between visual, mandibular, vestibular, spinal, podal, and other causes.
This allows us to prescribe personalized solutions, recommending the most appropriate and effective treatments: Physiotherapy, Osteopathy, Dentistry, Podiatry, Optometry, Otolaryngology, or Functional Rehabilitation.
Who is it for?
frequent cases
This biomechanical study allows us to help individuals with postural deviations in the legs, back, and neck who, without realizing this is the cause of their issues, come to our clinic experiencing:
- neck pain
- back pain and sciatica
- joint discomfort in hips and knees
- metatarsalgia and plantar fasciitis
- chronic muscle overload
- temporomandibular disorders
- vertigo and tension headaches
In our laboratories, we regularly treat athletes with persistent discomfort seeking better treatment guidance, adolescents with scoliosis who require radiation-free monitoring, and patients who, without a clear diagnosis, suffer from muscle and joint pain in the legs and back.
What does our postural study contribute?
4D differential diagnosis
Our biomechanical posture analysis test allows us to perform a differential diagnosis, distinguishing between the cause and the symptoms of the condition.
This makes it possible to prescribe an effective treatment that, instead of only addressing the patient’s pain, targets the underlying cause.
This test analyzes posture as a whole-body issue, identifying its causes across all structures (legs, spine, cranio-cervico-mandibular complex, visual, vestibular, proprioceptive, and podal sensory systems, and even the skin).

uXtand technology
biomechanical posture study
Our uXtand technology integrates 3D morphological analysis systems, dynamic balance, and plantar dynamometry to comprehensively evaluate the patient’s body posture.
We measure over 120 biomechanical parameters of the patient’s alignment and balance, allowing us to detect any type of postural alteration, always using fast, non-invasive, and completely safe testing protocols suitable for patients of all ages.
In addition, the results enable the examination of body posture at all levels, providing precise measurements of asymmetry, as well as sensory and foot interference levels, which helps to refine diagnoses and improve prescriptions.

body posture
symmetry and alignment
First, we perform a 3D analysis of body posture and spinal curvatures.
This study allows us to precisely measure symmetry and alignment of the patient’s posture.
In this way, we diagnose excessive postural deviations (scoliosis, pelvic or scapular tilt, joint valgus and varus…) and monitor their progression over time, avoiding the use of imaging techniques involving radiation (X-rays, MRI…)
postural balance
structural deviations
In this study, we analyze weight distribution patterns in the lower limbs and evaluate the patient’s postural balance against gravity.
The information obtained allows us to detect load imbalances caused by lower limb length discrepancies, pelvic rotations and torsions, as well as joint deviations.
In this way, we identify structural deviations affecting the patient, leading to muscular compensations and chronic conditions.
postural strategy
sensory interference
With this test, we identify the origin of the patient’s poor posture.
We study position and balance under different conditions and determine which sensory interferences are affecting the adjustment and control of body posture.
The results provide a reliable indicator to confirm alterations of visual, vestibular, proprioceptive, and temporomandibular origin, helping to guide personalized treatments.
foot patterns
foot disorders
In some cases, altered gait patterns can disrupt the entire postural chain, affecting the alignment of the knees, hips, and even the spine and shoulders.
This study allows us to understand the postural influence of gait and define personalized solutions to help correct and prevent problems in the medium term (insoles, specialized footwear, and muscle and joint compensation exercises).
gait correction
insoles and functional recovery
If we detect that your postural issues have a podal origin, we will prepare a detailed report analyzing all your dynamic gait alterations.
In this way, we can offer you personalized solutions to prevent and treat your conditions, through the design of custom-made insoles and/or functional rehabilitation routines.
ATM diagnosis
postural influence
If we determine that your postural syndrome originates exclusively from a malocclusion or mandibular issue, we perform a TMJ study to refine the diagnosis.
This allows us to guide you toward specific solutions to correct your postural problems through treatments such as physiotherapy, osteopathy, and dentistry.
sensory evaluation
visual/vestibular interference
If we confirm that your postural alteration is caused by a sensory interference (visual or vestibular), we will refer you to the appropriate specialist to perform a specific examination and define the most suitable treatments for your case.
From that point on, we can help you monitor your progress by tracking improvements in your postural parameters.
monitoring of developments
treatment monitoring
Once you have started treatment to correct your postural imbalances (with a physiotherapist, osteopath, dentist, optometrist, or functional rehabilitation specialist), we can help you accurately evaluate the improvement of your body posture.
This real-time monitoring of your rehabilitation process allows for better results and reduced recovery times.
