Overview
When one side of your body is different from the other in how you stand or move.
Detailed Description
Postural asymmetry refers to differences in alignment, muscle tension, or movement patterns between the left and right sides of the body. Some asymmetry is normal, but significant differences can lead to compensatory patterns, uneven loading, and pain.
ELDOA addresses asymmetry through bilateral positions that create balanced tension and promote symmetrical alignment. Additionally, awareness developed through ELDOA practice helps individuals recognize and correct asymmetrical patterns in daily life.
Common causes of postural asymmetry include scoliosis, leg length differences, habitual postures, handedness, and occupational demands. ELDOA provides a systematic approach to improving symmetry while respecting anatomical individuality.
