How We Read Postural Imbalance
Q. Why do you look somewhere other than where it hurts?
A.
Because the place that hurts and the place that created the load are often different. Dangdang looks at that starting point in three ways.
📝 Detailed Answer
Dangdang sees three places where postural imbalance begins.
- Descending pattern — beginning at the jaw
When the balance of the jaw is off, it keeps affecting the neck vertebrae. Because it repeats with every word spoken and every swallow, the neck vertebrae twist, and in compensation the spine curves and the pelvis and legs twist with it. This is the path from above downwards - Ascending pattern — beginning at the foot
A problem in the structure of the foot changes the gait, that leads to deformity at the knee and pelvis, and the effect reaches the spine and shoulders above. This is the path from below upwards - Posture and habit
Always sleeping on one side, standing with the weight on one leg, carrying a bag on one shoulder only — as these accumulate, the spine and pelvis gradually twist
So even with the same low back pain, where it began changes where we need to look. We do not decide before measuring.
