What is the posture of subluxation, or POS? It’s incredibly simple. Subluxation posture means putting the patient in the posture in which they were damaged or injured.
For example, if someone was injured in an auto accident, the posture of subluxation would be sitting down with their hands on an imaginary steering wheel and feet on imaginary brakes. This can be an emotional posture as well, as patients may find themselves reimagining the accident.
When you put people in the right posture, you will find stress, injuries, and dysfunction that you would not find if they are standing in a neutral position or laying down on a table. That is one of the most important aspects of subluxation posture.
How does the Koren Specific Technique differ from others? Why is the POS important? It’s very simple; most health care professionals are taught to put a patient face-down or face-up on a table and work on them. I’m not criticizing that technique, because it has helped a lot of people and will continue to help people. With KST, you add one extra ingredient that will make your practice more effective: putting them in the posture in which they were hurt or injured.
Now, the POS is not limited to those who have suffered an injury. You can also use the posture of subluxation for athletes. You can help improve a golfer’s swing, a tennis player’s serve, or a soccer player’s kick by putting them in the movement they play. Then, you can locate stress and damage as the posture.
The posture of subluxation can even help with dyslexia. In this case, the person would sit as they would when reading a book. We can see where the body locks up, address stress associated with reading, and correct those areas.

"Subluxation helps us find stresses and dysfunctions that would otherwise go unnoticed."
