Frequently Asked Questions
Who is behind this site?
This is a personal educational project — not a company, clinic, medical practice, or healthcare service. It is designed, built, and maintained by Alpana, a software engineer, sports and fitness enthusiast, and current Master of Applied Sports Science student. Alpana is not presenting herself through this website as a doctor, physiotherapist, clinician, or licensed healthcare professional. All content is researched, compiled, and maintained personally and, unless stated otherwise, has not been independently reviewed by a licensed healthcare professional.
What can I do on this site?
The site offers assessment-based mobility and flexibility programs — starting with the front splits — that help find the main thing holding you back and build a suggested plan around it. Alongside the programs there is a browsable library of stretches, mobility drills, exercises, muscles, and conditions, plus an optional on-device posture scan. Everything is self-guided and educational.
How does the posture scan work?
You upload four standing photos — front, back, left, and right. The app detects body landmarks in your browser using an on-device pose model, measures alignment angles and ratios, and produces an educational alignment summary and a suggested self-guided exercise plan.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The analysis runs entirely in your browser. Your photos are never sent to a server — they stay on your device.
Is this medical advice?
No. The scan and articles are educational wellness content that highlight posture patterns. They are not a diagnosis. See a qualified clinician for any pain, injury, or medical concern.
How accurate is the analysis?
The metrics are calibrated against a labeled catalog of posture photos and are best treated as a screening tool to spot patterns, not precise clinical measurements. Lighting, clothing, camera angle, and stance all affect the result — use a consistent, relaxed pose across all four photos.
What can the scan detect — and what can it not?
It may identify visible alignment patterns such as forward-head position, rounded shoulders, head or shoulder asymmetry, uneven hips, trunk shift and lean, knee bend, and apparent knee valgus. Results may be incorrect or inconsistent and should not be used to diagnose a condition, determine injury risk, or make healthcare decisions. It cannot measure spine-curvature conditions (like thoracic kyphosis or scoliosis) or pelvic tilt, because the body landmarks it uses do not include the spine or pelvis bony points.
How often should I do the corrective exercises?
Each exercise lists a suggested dosage. As a general guide, daily mobility and activation with two to three strengthening sessions a week is a sustainable starting point. Consistency matters more than intensity.
