Abstract
Management of patients with lumbopelvic pain can be a complex process, requiring thoughtful consideration of the available literature as well as of unique features of the patient presentation, including pelvic and lower-limb asymmetries. It has been suggested that the spine should not be viewed in isolation and that the influence of lower-limb dysfunction is an important consideration in managing the root cause of lumbopelvic pain.1 In her case report, Boyle2 emphasizes the importance of integrating hip and pelvic asymmetries when identifying and addressing underlying dysfunctions that, if left untreated, may limit recovery. The report offers a systematic and logical description of a patient assessment and management interventions that address the primary reason for persistent lumbopelvic pain and dysfunction in a 65-year-old female patient. The outcomes of this case provide support for the use of unilateral exercises selected to address hip-joint dysfunction resulting from a pattern of postural asymmetry in the lumbar-pelvic-femoral complex.
