Global Postural Reeducation (GPR) is an approach in physiotherapy developed by Philippe Souchard. GPR consists of active global treatment postures to simultaneously work on static and dynamic muscles of the anterior and posterior integrated neuromuscular coordination systems to improve posture and sensorimotor control. The GPR approach integrates biomechanics and sensorimotor control principles.

Physiotherapists will determine active treatment postures and sensorimotor exercises specific to the person’s neuromusculoskeletal disorder following a decisional algorithm specific to GPR (Posture selection chart: general photography, interrogation, examination of retraction and re-equilibration
tests).

Global Postural Reeducation (GPR) treats:

  • Morphological issues
  • Articular injuries
  • Respiratory conditions
  • Post-traumatic sequelae
  • Neurological spastic pathologies

**If you are a physiotherapist outside Canada, you need to have a special authorization to practice physical therapy in Quebec.
