pelvis out of alignment on both sides

[neuromuscular]

My physio has told me that my pelvis is twisted on both sides - the right side has slipped forwards and the left side has slipped backwards. I was just wondering how common this is, and also any idea what might have caused this to happen? Was it caused by an accident (I ride horses and have had many falls over the years), or is it just the way my body has developed? (I am 39 but I reckon I have had this since I was a teenager)

I also have other imbalances - right leg longer than the left, scoliosis with head off-centre etc. I'm assuming these are all connected, but I don't know which came first!

Dear Caz:

In your other post you mentioned that you have scoliosis. From my research, it has often been that people with two different pelvic angles such as you are describing have scoliosis.

As the acetabulum is not in the center of rotation for the innominate bone of the pelvis, the rotation causes a functional differring of leg lengths. This puts the body on a slant or slope. Which, in turn, causes compensations which lead to scoliotic patterning.

Hope that you find this helpful.

Best regards,
