Then at the massage therapist school I attended we had a class in diagnosing habitual posture problems and my instructor wondered why my pelvis was high on the right. I wondered too until I thought “could it be…?” I made a point of switching regularly and miraculously the hiked hip went away.

WHOA!!! How many times per hour, 24/7, were you performing this act? It caused, then rectified a posture problem? :eek: I’m in awe…
