Posture Specialist | Entrepreneur | Speaker
Annette Verpillot is the founder of Posturepro, a health company specialized in restoring the brain-body connection. She is a Canadian entrepreneur, therapist, public speaker, and internationally recognized Posturologist. Annette has developed some of the world’s most advanced rehabilitation and injury prevention techniques, and she teaches a method called The Posturepro Method to professionals in various fields.
Her unique postural evaluation system is recognized throughout the world for eliminating chronic pain, increasing strength, and improving sports proficiency.
She has worked with strength specialists, elite athletes and successful coaches from professional leagues and NCAA Division I sports, giving presentations to the following teams:
– the New Jersey Devils
– the San Francisco 49ers
– the University of New Mexico Men’s basketball team
– the Florida Gators Men’s basketball team
– the UNC Charlotte’s Men’s basketball team
– the Xavier University Men’s basketball team
– the New Jersey Devils
– the University of Illinois Athletics Men’s basketball team
– the State of Massachusetts Law Enforcement Officers
Annette actively participates in research on posture, health, and performance, and her recent collaboration with McGill University was presented at the Movementis 2018 Conference at Harvard University and at La Sorbonne University in Paris in 2022.
She is currently working with researchers at the University of Montreal and at the University of Quebec in Montreal to test the benefits of her approach on two specific target populations: Parkinson’s patients and children with Developmental Coordination Disorder.
To spread awareness about the benefits of good posture to a broader public, she speaks regularly at major industry events, such as SWIS and the International Association of Functional Neurology and Rehabilitation (IAFNR) Annual Meeting.
Annette has also presented her methods at TEDX Montreal woman, Breakfast Television, ICI Television, and Collectively Beautiful. She makes guest appearances on podcasts and was recently featured on Muscle Intelligence. She holds a semi-regular spot on a local radio station. Through her teaching, speaking, and research, Annette continues to tackle global health issues and train professionals to have a lasting impact on clients and patients.
Scientific Contribution
Annette conducted a pilot study in collaboration with the McGill University School of Physical and Occupational Therapy to examine the influence of the feet on the balance of older adults. This population group is the most at risk of fall-related injuries. The results showed improved postural stability upon stimulation of the feet.
Current research projects seek to validate the clinical benefits of this approach with three other target populations:
-Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease, in conjunction with the University of Montreal.
-Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder, in partnership with UQAM
-Athletes at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte.
