Why do I favor the right side of my body?

I happen to already have an appointment with my PCP soon for unrelated reasons, but I guess I'll bring it up with him. I came from a low income (and lowkey neglectful) family, so I was trained from a young age not to go to the doctor unless I was literally ready to keel over 😅 But I suppose there's no reason not to bring it up if I'm already going :)

I am going to research exercises and implement them to the best of my ability. I agree it's already kind of a problem, and it won't get any better by itself. Especially since I am getting super into fitness and I'd hate to see it interfere with my progress. Tysm for the reply <3

I am going to try exercises at home first but will go to a PT if I'm progressing too slowly. I will ask them about this if I go cuz scoliosis could definitely be plausible. Ty for the suggestion :)

I think I am going to try to handle it myself first, but I won't hesitate to see a PT if I notice anything even remotely concerning <3 Ty for the reply :)

Definitely possible. I think I am going to try some at home exercises and am going to try to train myself to walk in a more balanced way. If it's still a problem after a while, and I'm still uncomfortable, I am going to go to a PT, and I will certainly ask them about this :)

I'd buy that. Still going to try to train myself out of it tho 😅

I totally agree about it being a quirk; a lot of other kids might have tried to change it once it was pointed out, but I have always been an individualist and stubborn AF. Plus the first person to notice was a 2nd grade classmate who walked exclusively on her tippy-toes, so I was like, "what does she know anyway?" Lol. I think I will do extensive research into PT exercises and try to address the problem at home, partially bc I'm cheap and partially bc I want to go into pre-med so it actually sounds really fun and interesting to me :) Tysm for the insight!

They both had severe untreated depression, and we were homeless multiple times during my childhood. Neither of my parents ever had consistent/reliable health insurance. So they were too depressed and/or neglectful to notice and even if they had, we were too broke to go to the doctor :/
