From: http://www.youtube.com/user/sarastro99 I would like to ask you about my muscular imbalance. I am a 29-year-old man and have been going to the gym for a few years. When my muscles grow, they seem lopsided. I am right-handed. My right chest muscle is slightly bigger than my left, while my left lat is somewhat more developed than my right. I looked at myself carefully in a mirror and noticed that my right shoulder and hip bone (ASIS) are a little higher than my left ones. I also tried to have a view of my back by looking into a hand mirror with my back facing another mirror on the wall. When I relax, I see a small curve on my spine, which goes away when I try to straighten my back. So I guess I have scoliosis, which should also involve some rotation of the spine as I can see that my RIGHT shoulder and LEFT hip are placed slightly more forward than their counterparts. I went to see a chiropractor. After some manipulations, my shoulders and hips seemed better aligned for only a few days, then went back to their pre-treatment states. I kept seeing him for about 10 times, all of which turned out the same, so I gave up. This may sound like a serious problem, but it is not -- my X-rays are quite normal. However, it fairly concerns me because I have always wanted a balanced physique. In your opinion, what could be the cause(s)? Do you have any suggestions on any therapy, stretching and/or strengthening exercises, or whatever you feel appropriate? Thank you very much in advance.

  • has anyone here fixed muscle imbalanced ??? is it possible ?? im going to get my spine fixed, and its functional scoliosis i think so it isnt that bad

    but this mucel imbalance is really annyoing how to fix it

  • @yusraomarrassa i think u might have a anterior or posterior pelvic tilt,because lower back pain refers to that,u need to coorect your posture in order to get some relief

  • Most imbalances start at the feet and will never be corrected until the foot is actually corrected. Simply physics. Google HyProCure. It is an amazing solution if you have a misaligned foot and body.

  • i go to the gym regualary and i think i have a trap imablance which may may cause this problem it is only very slight but its quite iritating and i makes me rage and get angry. if i even them out will this solve it
