Help! Uneven butt?

[Anonymous]

A while ago I had a dance injury but I brushed it off due to auditions. According to my symptoms I self diagnosed myself as having a torn groin. It got better but now I'm noticing it feels like my right leg is longer. I injured the left "side" of my groin and someone told me my left side might be extremely "loose" right now and my right is extremely tight so my hip flexors are uneven. I went to a physical therapist who thinks I might have torn my right labrum. Either way, there is more weight on my right leg so when I workout my right side gets worked out more. The right side of my butt is way bigger than the left especially on the top. There's like an inch difference. I don't care as much about the hip problems as I do about this aesthetic one. Is there a way to only build the left side of my butt, targeting the top? Also what's a general diet I should follow to build this muscle up? Thanks in advance and please don't leave any harsh answers.

Also my butt is almost purely muscle. I do favor my right leg more and use it for more kicks and jumps but your standing leg does much of the work. My right butt cheek is overall bigger but I'm working on exercises to fix that it's just I don't know how to target the top of my left butt cheek lol.

I can't diagnose this via the Net, but if you have anything like a torn labrum, you will need a long period of rest Trying to tough it out will cause more serious problems. As you say, you are off balance and ot symmetrical, now, and for a dancer, that's asking for further injury if yu try to put stress on the damaged muscles; the other muscles will start complaining to you because theywon't be able to function properly when you are a little off balance all the time.

Your knees especially are going to be at risk.

This was back in January or February. Yeah my left knee has even hurting lately but that just might be from dance.

[martyfellow]

The knee is likely caused by the uneven stresses it has to take now. Knees are strong when you are in balance, but they won't put up with uneven weight distribution for long

never self diagnose.

How about healing your injury first?

The symptoms were identical and I had no time to see a doctor. It happened in January or February it's been healed.

all this talk of booty is turning me on! Get treated and then worry about your butt later I doubt anyone will notice except you.

Hahaha the butt issue was what made me decide to go to physical therapy. It's what's bothering me the most. It's extremely noticeable one of my friends noticed and was like "WTF happened?"

[SaltandVinegar]

Well I guess do hardcore physical therapy and then do tons of your regular exercises but only on the injured side

What exercises build muscle on the upper glute?
