Welcome to episode 28 of The Optimal Body Podcast
Hip Shift? Rotated Pelvis? What Does It Mean?
What does it really mean to have a leg length discrepancy? Why do we feel better after getting our pelvis adjusted? Does it stay in place after it is adjusted? When did it fall out of place in the first place? How do I know this initiated my pain? How do I know if it will last? Adjusting the pelvis is one of the most commonalities we see amongst clinicians from PT to Chiropractor to Osteopath. Why is it so common? Listen in as we explain what these diagnoses mean and how common they really are. Join us as we dive into why these diagnoses or manual techniques may not be the most beneficial for you long term. Lastly, we go into detail on how you can create real, long-lasting change within your own body, without relying on a clinician for an adjustment!
