Scoliosis can be a confusing topic, especially when trying to distinguish between functional and anatomical scoliosis. Both types involve a curvature of the spine, but their causes, implications, and treatments differ significantly. Let’s delve into the key differences and understand why proper evaluation methods are crucial. Functional ScoliosisFunctional scoliosis is caused by external factors, primarily pelvic
The psoas muscles, essential for hip flexion and lumbar spine stability, can cause significant changes in pelvic alignment when they become bilaterally tight. These muscles, originating from the lumbar vertebrae and inserting into the femur, play a crucial role in maintaining posture and movement. Interestingly, tightness in these muscles can lead to both anterior and
For those reading this who may not recognize the terminology used by the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI), the acronym–“LAIC RBC”–stands for, “Left Anterior Interior Chain, Right Brachial Chain.” This is a postural pattern the PRI has identified in a standing position. From my perspective, this pattern is just one of many possible patterns that might
Seeing the body as a tensegrity structure has been one of the linchpins in both my comprehension and treatment of chronic unexplained pain for three decades. I offer here a brief overview of this term. Once you understand the concept of a tensegrity structure, and once you begin to see the body as a living example
Iliopsoas Syndrome and Pelvic Torsion often occur simultaneously and therefore there’s often a confusing overlap of their symptoms. In fact, these two conditions can cause or reinforce one another. Iliopsoas Syndrome can cause or reinforce Pelvic Torsion, and Pelvic Torsion cause or reinforce Iliopsoas Syndrome. The key to both problems is the primary hip flexors,
