About Symmetry

Symmetry AlignSmart® is a patent-pending postural assessment and corrective exercise system designed to enhance posture, alleviate pain, and optimize performance. Developed by Patrick R. Mummy, founder and CEO of Symmetry for Health, the system employs AlignSmart® technology to quantitatively measure 20 bony landmarks, assessing structural alignment and identifying misalignments.


The process begins with precise measurements using the Postural Alignment Kit (PAK), which evaluates the body's alignment across transverse, frontal, and sagittal planes. These measurements generate a structural score, providing a clear understanding of the client's posture. Based on this data, AlignSmart® creates a customized sequence of corrective exercises tailored to address specific misalignments.


Symmetry's corrective exercises are predominantly isometric, focusing on activating intrinsic muscles responsible for maintaining structural integrity. This approach aims to retrain the body to hold proper alignment, thereby reducing pain and enhancing function. Clients engage with an easy-to-use app that guides them through their personalized routines, complete with exercise descriptions and demonstration videos, empowering them to take an active role in their rehabilitation.
For professionals, Symmetry offers certification programs that provide comprehensive training in utilizing AlignSmart® technology. These programs cover measuring postural landmarks, applying corrective exercises, and effectively educating clients. Certified practitioners gain access to the AlignSmart® software, enabling them to create individualized corrective routines and monitor client progress.

Symmetry AlignSmart® has been recognized as a continuing education provider by organizations such as the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), the American Council on Exercise (ACE), and the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), underscoring its credibility and relevance in the health and fitness industry.

By integrating quantitative assessment with personalized corrective strategies, Symmetry AlignSmart® offers a holistic approach to postural correction and pain relief, empowering individuals to achieve and maintain optimal alignment and function.
