How to take a Posture Picture:
At home:
1. Find a friend or family member – this person will take your picture!
2. Stand a few inches from a wall or door (solid background works best).
3. Stand tall when your picture is taken with what feels like good posture. Avoid being “at attention.” And no looking in a mirror to cheat!
4. Have your photographer take three pictures of your posture: one facing forward, one facing away, and one from the side.
5. Post your favorite shot on the Stand Taller Live Longer facebook timeline!

6. Take pictures of your friend or family member, and post those, too!
For the Professional:
1. Have your patient stand against a Posture Grid (for best results), or a solid wall or door, if you do not have a grid at your practice.
2. Ask your patient to stand tall when with what feels like good posture. Avoid being “at attention.”
3. Take three pictures of your patient’s posture: one facing forward, one facing away, and one from the side.
4. Print the photos and give them to your patient. Encourage them to post to the Stand Taller facebook page.
