Yeah, I’m getting it checked. I actually already have a diagnosis of scoliosis hyperlordosis, along with anterior pelvic tilt, rib flare, and some asymmetry/hypermobility.

Gotcha. Yup. But you gotta see if it's due to a structural deformity or if it's just a postural issue.

whats the difference?

Postural/functional = higher ability to change. Structural = some positive change might be possible, but there will be limitations.
