At Posturepro Physiotherapy We know How To Change Your Body Alignment

When You have good alignment then you should not be getting pain.

A short leg is an indication of a distorted pelvis –

and because your spine sits on top of the pelvis the spine also  becomes compromised – so unless you have a short leg because of a loss of length in your leg bones due to a very bad accident or you have a genetic problem that affects the leg length (very small percentage) – in the majority of cases the leg length is produced by imbalances in your Psoas muscles. This directly impacts the pelvis leading to low back pain and creating the distortions – when the leg length is not addressed in low back or hip pain and only the pain is treated then your pain will return.

At Posturepro we specialize in knowing how to adjust leg length leading to a stable pelvis that remains balanced  and maintains your spinal health.
