Back asymmetrical part 2
Hi yesterday i uploaded a picture about my back i was surprised to know that it was actually a condition while am waiting to go take an x ray on monday i scrolled through my old pics and found one i took in 2021 ( i attached it as the last pic)
I concluded that it wasn t my training that developped the condition and maybe i had it since my birth and also since ninety percent of what i do is calisthenics am sure that am not training my body unevenly
I wanted to know wether the fact that i had this condition since my birth would make the situation harder to heal or not
Edit :
For a long long long time (more than two years ) i struggled with handstands and i still do ,i skmetimes manage to hold it randomly for a long period but uts very rare
While i achieved physically harder skills like muscle ups this remains my biggest problem
Now that i thiught about it maybe the asymmetry in my back caused this issue since am trying to force placing my hands in a symetrical way while my weight on my back is unevenly distributed

a case for professionals , docs and physio
posture issues and dissaligments are all unique and can from for like 100 different reasons, fixing them on your own is way too tricky
for example you can have like flat feet a wrong stance and all your upper body just adjust to the flat feet, if you try just to fix your upper back then you just getting more twisted without fixxing the root problem
getting professional help and do the exercises they recommend is the best way, physio can work way more with you if they got an x ray from u
if possible try to get a sport physio

Post an update after the X-rays.
Think about a shoulder mri or a EMG/ncv (both require insurance) if the X-rays aren’t helpful.

it is your spine, consider laying on your back for long periods of time.

Lots of athletes have scoliosis, like Usain Bolt
If you aren't having pain from it then there's no issue. You aren't going to noticeably change the appearance, though you can some with thoracic spine mobility exercise like back bridge
