However, your discussion on the link between a hyperpronated foot and short leg syndrome was not complete.<br /><br />I encourage you to look at the published research (including my own) at http://www.iarpt.com/short-leg-sydrome.html Your comments would be most welcomed.<br /><br />Professor RothbartProfessor/Dr Brian A Rothbarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520164792541377426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673715911736059911.post-9933795350467402642013-02-09T22:08:52.791-08:002013-02-09T22:08:52.791-08:00Armin, there are so many possibilities.

The typical biomechanical picture you present is a long right leg, with a right sided shoulder drop, more stress in the longer lower back area and more stress in the longer right leg. This means the muscles in the right back and thigh would be more developed. Treatment is beginning lift therapy for a short left side, but you really would have to go slow and see how your body feels. It you gradually add 1/8th inch (3 mm) to the left side per month, and make sure you feel more centered as you go. Good luck.

My left shoulder is higher than than the right one I know that one of my feedt is longer than the other(functional). However I am not sure which one !<br /><br />My left arm is more compact /shorter than the right one.. but I am a right hander... My left Quad and hamstring are significantly weaker and thinner than the right leg.<br /><br />Also the errector spine muscle on the right side is way more developed than the one on the left side.<br /><br />How can I correct this imbalance ?<br /><br />Thank You,<br />Armin Ray Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
