Hi Jess. I understand your concerns regarding this "problem." It appears as though the original post is concerned only with aesthetics and asymmetry. And I also understand that asymmetry is 'normal'. However, at the risk of being unpopular I will add this; asymmetrical postures of the body are due to an imbalance, typically of the myofascial structures. And if that imbalance goes on for long enough, I believe it would be fair to say that would create unwanted tensions and stresses on bodily structures that would eventually break down. Of course the body will compensate for this imbalance, which we can see it doing through his photographs, however the body can only compensate for so long until it either runs out of compensations or those compensations themselves break down. I think the original poster is on the right track in identifying the asymmetry as a potential problem and seeking appropriate treatment. And although that treatment might not need the skill that you can offer, I believe it is fair to say that an appropriate regime of stretching and strengthening exercises along with some postural re-education would prove beneficial. Thanks, replies welcomed.
