My client experienced a major car accident, which resulted in him being thrown from the vehicle. The accident caused major injuries to his thoracic spine, which necessitated a fusion in his thoracic spine and an insertion of a plate in his lower right leg. However, the hardware in his thoracic spine failed and was removed 18 months after the fusion and was not replaced. Despite the impact trauma, my client’s lateral line was remarkably good although he did have a pronounced lordotic curve which is not visible in this back profile and did improve in the after image.  This session showed exceptional movement in his back profile where an upward right-to-left shift allowed for equal weight distribution down the centerline of his body. The shift indicates a better alignment and balance in his structure. Going forward, the next area of focus will be supporting his structure through work in his lower legs with special attention to his left foot; by addressing these and other areas we plan to enhance his stability and balance with better movement patterns.
