Shoulder is high on HH side....?
Does anybody else have this issue? My shoulder is high on my high hip side, unlike the LTBP illustrations that show it should be lower.
My spine is not
(
I'm more like
/
(
left being HH side (Oh Lord.. if that can be interpreted with keyboard symbols...)
Wondering if my assessment and approach should somehow be a little different for this...
I know we can't offer anything that would be construed as "medical advice", but does anybody else have this high shoulder on the same side as the HH, and if so, could you share how you're addressing it?
Thanks,
Angela

Hi Angela,
I havent had the same issue but just wondering if you have sent in your photos and assessments to Steve yet? That would give him some info to help you with this.

Re: Shoulder is high on HH side....?
yes I have just today sent my photos to Steve... just in case I need to assess this a little differently.
Still, I have noticed some impressive relief in a short time doing the stretches for HH and BTP, and especially with the sciatica recommendations. My right leg even feels longer than it was - (only because it's been so short for a while). Interesting sensation that reminds me of what I used to feel after a good chiropractic adjustment.
I'm still a little skeptical of the speed at which this is all happening, but it almost feels like my lower back is trying to develop a slight healthy curve (normal pelvis position). Even got a couple of totally unexpected clicks - quite on their own - that felt rather relieving. Hm...
I keep counting my blessings - I seem fortunate that I'm responding so well, so quickly.

Hi Angela,
Thats great you are responding so quickly. Hopefully Steve will be able to help you with your query. We are all a little different so sometimes its best to get advice like that. He was always very helpful to me.
Take care and keep up the good work :)

Re: Shoulder is high on HH side....?
OOps, spoke too soon... woke up with a LOT of stiffness and pain this morning. I suppose it takes time, and patience, and maybe it's normal for it to come and go a bit in the beginning.
Steve's nice, but concerning my assessment, I'm totally confused now after talking with him. I thought my photos made my assessment very clear, but...
Well, I hope that doing ab work won't hurt the BTP condition.
Take care,
Angela

Will do Steve. I'm still trying to understand the SI Joint info you sent. I figure I should learn more info so I might understand our next talk better.
Thanks.

I also have high shoulder on the high hip side.
Angela, would you tell me what Steve recommends you?

Re: Shoulder is high on HH side....?
Well... to be honest, I'm kind of confused right now. Doesn't look like Steve really addressed that shoulder being high on the same side as HH, but he sent some recommendations for SI Joint reseating.
Best that you contact Steve and see if the response you get makes sense to you for your specific situation. I'd hate to pass on info that I'm not clear on.

Re: Shoulder is high on HH side....?
Angela, it seems we have the same common problem.
I think our condition is more specific that the high hip dysfunction in LTBP. If I'm not wrong you also have scoliosis, right?

Re: Shoulder is high on HH side....?
Yes, Ricky, you are right, I've been told I have "moderate" scoliosis in my lower spine. After speaking with a trusted pro I've seen mentioned in these forums, I get the opinion that this kind of scoliosis is not the kind you're born with, but the kind you "earn" after years of muscle imbalance. So, I'm pretty sure that as you learn from LTBP, it also becomes important to address physical habits that continue to support this muscle imbalance (and possibly seek other sources of info on this assessment too).
I've had some habits that led to this curve, (the way I've habitually sat in a chair over the past 20 years, for example) and now I have a toddler who's been on my left hip for the past two years... and she's only getting heavier.
I think it's important to actually lengthen - not just stretch - the muscles involved in this imbalance. Personally, I want to learn more about Egoscue for this reason... but it's very important to be educated on bones, ligaments, and muscles, and to know your assessment very well. Otherwise, you might address the problem incorrectly and end up not being a happy camper.
I've seen a topic mentioned (see subject "robot") in these forums and I've called the source. This kind of scoliosis can be improved or eliminated, if you can afford it. If not, you're like me, and have to figure out what you can do to help yourself. (Who was it said money can't buy happiness? maybe they just didn't know how to spend it. LOL)
