Centered -

All of the above is strictly supposition. We've got little to no hard data that supports that imbalances are clinically relevant, that they occur more frequently in the myofascial structures than the osseos ones, or that if they exist that they place unwanted stress on any other structure. I think that a lot of therapists think in this vein because it results in the design of a treatment plan that falls within our area of expertise : stretching and strengthening exercises.

I'll pose a question: do we tell a patient who present like the original poster that he has an actual "problem" because we think he may develop a problem down the road, without any real data or clinical findings to bakc this up, or should we wait until a problem actually develops (which may likely never happen)?
