Thanks to all of you for taking the time to answer. It was difficult to decide but based on other info in the document I finally went for *posturologist* in this case.

Frankly, I am quite amazed that non-native speakers of English can dictate the language, just through a majority vote!
liz askew Apr 12, 2007:
What is your comment in this regard?
liz askew Apr 12, 2007:
Well, take a look at the many, many sites here with "posturologist":

Noni Gilbert Riley Apr 12, 2007:
It certainly looks as if posture therapy is more mainstream in the US than in the UK, or at least a trawl through google suggests this. But *posture specialists* seem more "qualified" than *posture therapists*. Target readership?

posturologist

Well, just out of interest I looked into this.

Interestingly there are no UK refs to "posture therapist/specialist". This position only seems to exist in the private sector in the field of holistic medicine, and appears to have been developed in other European countries, not the UK.

I did find one UK reference to "posturologist".

Within the NHS, the specialists who deal with posture correction per se are physiotherapists.

By the way, I think there is a lot more involved to "Posturology/Posturlogists" than just a posture therapist!

agree Noni Gilbert Riley : Looks v convincing from where I´m sitting slumped in my chair! Seriously though, this would include perhaps people working with Alexander Technique etc? I found a good hit here, talking about working with kids with breathing problems: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

disagree liz askew : For the record, I have to, based on the evidence I have found.?? so where is your reliable evidence?? I expect there is only one ref to "Posturologist" as this was not developed in the UK! The term is acceptable though. We are not here to make words up

Imho, one reference is not enough evidence
neutral Vepalm : I think "therapist" is a profession that do not implies a graduation. "Posturologist" seems more correct in this case.
