Question for members with lumbar scoliosis or asymmetrical pelvis

Funny you should mention this. Seems our paths are crossing quite a bit.

I have scoliosis, I have what some PT's have said are leg length discrepancies (but my hip surgeon said no),..but I still have to wear a lift in the leg "I" think is shorter to balance my pelvis.

For many years, I would always sit on one foot. I'd tuck the foot of one leg under the butt cheek of the other. I mean constantly,...at restaurants, at home, sitting on the ground, sitting anywhere. If I tried to "sit up straight" I was in pain.

I never really caught on, but even when I'm in bed, or sitting in a chair, I find myself tucking a small pillow or blanket under one cheek. Still to this day.

Funny, as I'm writing this, (because it's become so automatic, I didn't realize it), but I'm doing it now while I'm sitting in the computer chair.

Interesting topic, and I didn't think about it much before. Hmm.

You're welcome Cogito.

I don't know if would benefit from an asymmetrical seat cushion, especially if I wasn't able to adjust the degree of difference.

I am a pee-wee at barely 5' tall, so when I drive, I have to sit on this wedge cushion anyway to see over the steering wheel. (No laughs from the peanut gallery over there!) I try not to bring it too forward so I'm super close to the steering wheel in case I'm in an accident.

The seat is back a little, not much, but enough. When I raise the seat, it's still enough. So this wedge cushion, I use backwards than what was recommended to give my pelvis a better tilt.

I noticed each time I get in the car, the pillow is off to the side and my tushie is really only primarily on one edge of the cushion.

I have been trying to sit/lay walk straight since my surgeries so they heal correctively, but this tippy thingie mabobber still seems to be there.


Interesting topic.
