When the body stands crooked
One leg feels longer, trousers sit unevenly, one side carries more. Often there's no malformation behind it — just tension pulling the body off centre. We look first, before anything gets changed.
How you notice it
Most people arrive with an everyday observation rather than a finding.
- 01
One leg seems longer
Lying down or standing, one side looks longer. Often someone else notices first — taking up a hem, at sport, in a photograph.
- 02
Standing crooked, loading one side
You stand on the same leg almost always, carry the bag on the same shoulder. The body has settled into a lean and keeps holding it.
- 03
Tension always on the same side
Neck, shoulder, lower back or hip — the tension has sat in the same place for years and returns after every release.
- 04
Medically, everything is fine
You've been examined, nothing requiring treatment was found — and still the way you stand doesn't feel right.
Functional or anatomical — that's the distinction
Uneven leg length is not one single thing. Professionally, two pictures are distinguished.
**Anatomical** means the bones really are different lengths. That is a medical question — it belongs in medical hands, gets measured there and interpreted there. My work does not replace that and does not try to.
**Functional** means the bones are the same length, but the body stands in a way that makes it look otherwise. Muscular tension, a tilted pelvis, years of one-sided habit. The difference lives in the posture, not the bone — and that is exactly where body work applies.
So nothing begins with an exercise or a correction. It begins with a calm assessment: how you actually stand, what holds where, and what shifts when the tension eases. If something comes up that belongs with a doctor, I'll tell you.
How the assessment runs
What you've noticed
You describe what you've seen and since when. Previous findings are welcome but not required.
What you should know
Look first, then work
Write and tell me what you've noticed. We start with a calm assessment — everything after that is your decision.
