Postural Imbalances

One shoulder appears higher than the other

One hip appears higher than the other

Constant muscle tightening throughout the entire spine

Shifting more weight onto one leg than the other

Walking abnormally (possibly a limp)

Pain typically starts to show up at this stage

Scoliosis

Permanent bending and twisting of the spine
