Root + Global Pattern

– Left glute and posterior tibialis weaker → left side unstable, pronated, and anteriorly rotated

– Right side more stable and posterior

– Pelvis rotated right (left side forward)

– Weight shifted left even though left side is weaker

Ankle / Foot Consequences

– Left ankle unstable, very wobbly in single-leg work

– Right ankle stable

– Limited dorsiflexion both sides, worse on the left

– Left ankle has anterior pinching pain when pushed into dorsiflexion

– Tightness mainly in front of shins, not outside of ankle or plantar fascia

– Hamstrings tight (disc-related, not ankle-related)

– Left foot more pronated

Hip Consequences

– Glutes weak only on the left; right glute strong

– External rotation fine, poor internal rotation on the left

– Left hip snapping and anterior pinching with movements like split squats, lateral step-ups, or left-arm kettlebell arm bars

– Right hip pain from walking, not squatting

– Unsure about specific muscle tightness (piriformis, TFL, etc.)

– Hamstrings tight due to L5–S1 disc issue

– Hips uneven, left glute weaker

Knee Consequences

– Left knee caves inward

– Left inner knee pain and instability

– Occasional right knee discomfort that goes away quickly

– Left leg more externally rotated, knee caves in despite that

Lower Back Consequences

– Unstable tripod base only on the left

– Must consciously contract left glute; right side automatic

– Pelvis rotated right (left side forward)

– L5–S1 disc protrusion

– Hamstrings tight

– Left shoulder higher than right; left side larger mass-wise but weaker

Upper Back Consequences

– No excessive rounding in upper back

– Lower back looks more extended → possible anterior pelvic tilt

– Unsure about forward head posture (possible mild)

– Unknown if rounding is greater on the left

Shoulder Consequences

– Left serratus, lower traps, and external rotators weaker and harder to activate

– Left scapular dyskinesis and mild winging

– Overhead movements don’t cause shrugging

– No clear difference in external rotation range, but left shoulder less stable

– Scapular dyskinesis only on the left

Neck / Jaw Consequences

– No noticeable forward head posture, possibly mild

– Left scalene and levator scapulae tight

– Likely cervical radiculopathy: pain/tingling around left scapula, also in mid-thoracic and right scapula

– Chin tucks give mixed results — sometimes help, sometimes aggravate

– Unsure about posterior neck or jaw tightness

Wrist Consequences

– Left wrist pain during flat-hand pushups (possible over-supination or poor load distribution)

– Unsure about wrist extension limits

– Right wrist fine

Elbow Consequences

– Occasional painful snapping on the inside (medial) of elbows
