This assessment demonstrates a reverse S-shaped spinal curvature with greater involvement through the lumbar region.
During movement, we can see differences in pelvic control, trunk rotation and muscular contribution between the left and right sides. The QL and paraspinal musculature don’t appear to contribute equally, creating compensatory movement patterns as the exercise progresses.
This is why I don’t assess posture in isolation.
A person can look asymmetrical in standing, but the real question is:
How does that asymmetry behave when you move?
The focus isn’t simply to “straighten the spine” or strengthen one side because it looks weaker.
The objective is to identify the individual’s movement strategy and improve:
▫️ Trunk control
▫️ Pelvic stability
▫️ Muscle coordination
▫️ Load distribution
▫️ Thoracolumbar mobility
▫️ Right–left movement symmetry
Good rehabilitation isn’t about forcing the body into symmetry. It’s about teaching the body to move better.
