Last week I went to see a physiotherapist in Burnaby. I found them on the Internet while googling for pelvic alignment burnaby. The physiotherpist basically found that my pelvis is super duper uneven. Essentially the right side of my pelvis is flared out (extremely flared out) and the right side is extremely flared in.
She gave me a bunch of exercises to do, and I’ve been doing them but I haven’t felt / seen much results. However when I wake up in the morning my lower back is usually less sore. I’m not sure if that is correlational or coincedence from healing up a bit since the last time.

It’s been a few weeks since I started seeing the massage therapist. Back is still curved but it feels a lot better. It has been a bit of detective work so far and I’m feeling that it is time to get a chiropractor to take a look at my back. After the muscle work my lower back is still curved.
I still wake up with a mildly sore/tired feeling back. It’s not so much sore as it just feels tired. When I do my deadlift form there is a very noticable height difference in my right hip versus my left hip. At this point I’m not sure if it is a muscle problem, a habits problem or a spine problem.
So the next step is to talk to a chiropractor, get some x-rays done and start doing more detective work. We’ve found out that there is a diagonal twist of my hip, on 3 axis: rolled forward, tilted downwards to the lower left, and twisted to the left. Hmm… how to fix this.
The problem is that during Crossfit with my back and hips not perfectly straight any weight bearing exercise makes the problem worse. Even though it feels alright at times, sometimes even stronger, without fixing the twister and the curve first, it’ll just get much worse over time.
