3D Postural Scanning at Functional Patterns Dublin

We are proud to be the first clinic in Ireland to offer 3D postural scanning using this innovative, next-generation, contact free system designed to give you the most up to date picture of where your body is currently at.

The scan

Create a Detailed Virtual Copy of Your Body

In one scan, we can create a detailed virtual copy of your body, perform a posture analysis, and allow you to detect postural issues before they become a problem.

The scan can also determine important values like weight, body fat percentage, BMI, fat-free mass index and basal metabolic rate. Visceral fat is analyzed using weight-to-hip and weight-to-height ratios.

What the scan does

In under 30 seconds

In under 30 seconds, the scan:

  • Creates a full 3D model of your body
  • Measures symmetry and alignment
  • Identifies weight-bearing bias and load distribution
  • Determines values like weight, BMI and body fat
  • Provides objective postural reference data

The result is the most comprehensive and powerful postural analysis available in Ireland.

Why this matters

This process removes the guesswork

Postural issues often build slowly over time. People start to feel that something in their body isn’t right but struggle to quantify why.

A 3D scan:

  • Removes ambiguity
  • Makes posture easy to understand
  • Helps connect posture to pain and movement problems
  • Allows meaningful comparison over time

Tracking progress

Re-assessment & progress tracking

Postural change takes time, so reassessing is important to track progress. As well as being included in our initial assessment process, existing clients can book Postural Reassessment Scans, allowing us to:

  • Compare against your baseline
  • Objectively measure change
  • Refine your training and treatment plan

The full package

Comprehensive Posture & Gait Assessment

A clear, objective starting point for understanding your posture, gait, and movement. Our Comprehensive Posture & Gait Assessment is designed to give you a clear understanding of how your body is behaving day to day, and how that behaviour is influencing your pain, posture, and movement. This 90-minute session combines clinical assessment, gait analysis, and objective 3D postural scanning to remove guesswork and establish a clear baseline.
