How severe are your asymmetries?

For the past 3 years i talked all about the Роstural restoration institute having figured out how heart on the right and liver on the left (and others) twist us all. How it is a "walking" phase frozen: one side of the body flexed and the other extended, as if mid stride.

All i did was manage to look symmetrical on the outside with knots within remaining. Because i am cranial driven (had a hidden neck muscle asymmetry growing up due to 3 molars being crowded). But regardless of the root cause, the biggest lesson i learned is: Ribcage.

It took over 3 years for me to stop focusing on the muscle tissue and teeth and seeing the ribcage merely as an "indicator", to now see it as the #1 area of focus.

When one side is full of air and the other is empty, no amount of muscle exercises will work. All i did is force my abdominal muscles to pull expanded side in and contracted side out.

There is such a thing as the body learning to only inhale on one side and avoid exhaling fully in it. The other side diaphragm is used like a strength muscle. It is even the default of most mammals.

Here's a real human diaphragm, not just a drawing:

Part of the reason i overlooked the ribcage is i have it in reverse direction. My left side grew overdeveloped in the past 10 years. Even PRI practitioners didn't know what to do with me because they are trained to contract the left side. They told me that my kind of inverted pattern is 100% of the time caused by childhood trauma. But i figured it's only half of the equation.

I don't know what the physio world is like now, but a decade back i could only wish someone knew that we consciously choose to breathe using only one side. And if it is done habitually then no amount of strength training will correct it, yet every specialist just looked at the outer tissue, or just did an x ray and said i was fine.

I would say mine have been between option B and C. Structurally I have strength and flexibility but it creates nervous unrest.
