Question 1

Can I check at home whether my pelvis is out of alignment?

Accepted Answer

Three or more of the items below is worth having checked. Clothes twisting round to one side is also a clue.

Question 2

What symptoms arise when the pelvis is out of alignment?

Accepted Answer

Low back and pelvic pain come first, then the hip, knee and foot below and the spine above are affected.

Question 3

Are there types of pelvic misalignment?

Accepted Answer

We divide it into a pelvis tilted forward, a pelvis tilted back, and a pelvis uneven left to right, and approach each differently.

Question 4

Are bow legs something you are born with?

Accepted Answer

Acquired factors have more influence than inborn ones. Sitting posture and footwear matter particularly.

Question 5

Are there different kinds of bow legs?

Accepted Answer

There is a tilt type, coming from the direction the ankle bends, and a rotation type, arising as the hip turns inward. There is also a combined type with both.

Question 6

Can it be corrected at home with exercise alone?

Accepted Answer

It helps with prevention, but where it has already progressed it is hard to do alone. Exercise that does not suit you can make it worse.

Question 7

Can I tell how my spine is out of alignment?

Accepted Answer

Knowing the curves of a normal spine gives you an idea. We separate curving to the side, excessive front-to-back curving, and the curve disappearing altogether.

Question 8

How do I notice that my spine is out of alignment?

Accepted Answer

Look at the mirror and at your shoes. Shoulder height, pelvic tilt and the way the heels wear down are all clues.
