Interesting first day at E3 today, I've already been looking into the possibilities of a functional or anatomical leg-length discrepancy, which seems to of caused a pelvic tilt.This then further causes a scoliosis of the spine which is the body's attempt to ensure that the head remains level. Remember that the eyes are our spirit level so must remain straight in order for us to maintain balance.
Looking forward to getting back in there on Thursday and working with some more interesting cases.

EDIT: Having met my client for the first time today and performed some basic assessments it appears their is no leg length difference. To cut a long story short, the individual was involved in a motorcycle accident and received an impact to his femur. The fracture he suffered was a "clean" break and not shattered, so my first question to him as an engineer was "where has the 1 1/2 inches gone to?" If the bone had been shattered I may expect to see some loss of length but with a clean break it didn't make sense.
My suspicion was that walking in a cast with a rubber walker on the bottom (to protect the plaster) for a prolonged period had conditioned him to hold his pelvis in a faulty position and walk with a limp. The gentleman is question had been told 15 years ago that he had a leg length discrepancy and all he needed was some work to release the femur and hip.
***NEWSFLASH***For those that knew I was working at a new gym, I've left. The owner spun a few lies getting me in there, and after a month I've left and am just back working on my own again.***NEWSFLASH***
