Are you "Out of Alignment"?

Have you ever noticed, or been told that your body is โ€œ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ตโ€? โฃ

โฃ

Maybe...โฃ

One hip is higher than the otherโฃ

Your spine has a curve in itโฃ

Your neck is straightโฃ

Your pelvis is tilted (forward or back)โฃ

Your knees track inwardโฃ

You have high or low archesโฃ

You have scoliosisโฃ

One leg is longer than the other โฃ

Your head is forward (โ€œtext neckโ€) โฃ

โฃ

While these findings might sound concerning, theyโ€™re actually quite common and ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ญ. โฃ

Interestingly, differences in alignment are not really as big of a deal as theyโ€™ve been made out to be. People who are fairly symmetrical can still experience pain, and many people with variances in alignment or posture are asymptomatic (meaning they donโ€™t have pain). โฃ

Do you experience pain? โฃ

Or dysfunction? โฃ

Are you able to perform day to day activities? Do you have pain when exercising or playing sports? โฃ

Can you sleep well at night? โฃ

When it comes to vehicles and machines, alignment certainly matters. But unlike a car, our bodies have the ability to adapt, and are far more complex than any piece of machinery. โฃ
