Understanding Bodywork and Leg Length Discrepancy
Bodywork and leg length discrepancies can greatly affect an individual's posture, movement, and overall well-being. Here is an overview of these concepts:
1. Bodywork
Bodywork encompasses a range of therapeutic techniques designed to enhance the body's structure and function. It includes:
Massage Therapy: Aids in relieving muscle tension and enhancing circulation.
Chiropractic Care: Concentrates on spinal alignment and improving nervous system function.
Physical Therapy: Focuses on restoring movement and function through exercises and rehabilitation.
Yoga and Pilates: Increase flexibility, strength, and body awareness.
2. Leg Length Discrepancy
Leg length discrepancy (LLD) arises when one leg is shorter than the other. This can be:
Functional: Resulting from muscle imbalances or postural issues.

Pain in the lower back, hips, or knees.
