My first meeting with the client was during an emergency home visit wherein the client complained of being unable to move her neck. She did present as sidebended in the lumbar spine.

The usual visual assessment may or may not reveal a spinal sidebendedness or a tight ilio-psoas, or a tight ITB(iliotibialband) or quadriceps. However, upon further inspection, the next day, in my clinic, what I noticed was tenderness and tension in one or both of the longitudinal arches of the feet. Something I didn't assess or notice during my emergency home visit. During that stay, I focused on the neck, and back with my hangzhou massage . Did I look at the feet or legs No! Common error in home emergency visits. I failed to complete a thorough assessment and let the client's pain guide me. I did not make that mistake when the client visited me the next day in my clinic.
How important it is to do a complete assessment of the client even when doing an emergency home visit and treatment. The tendency is to attempt shortcuts to shorten the duration of the visit yet to provide some temporary relief. And that's perhaps appropriate, however mistakes can lead to faulty or incomplete treatment and failing to relieve the client's pain and miss the main causes of the pain.

The fact which one learns, in the field, is that ninety percent of clients are right-dominant. And approx. 50-80% of them have some imbalance in the left pectoral and trapezius. Another approx. 30-50% have tensions in the ilio-psoas, and/or ITB-Quadriceps. Many of these cases emanate from falling or depressed arches, or improperly supported high longitudinal arches due to anatomical structures.
I also have observed in assessing clients, over nine years of practice, that foot dysfunction often, but not always, occurs on one foot causing an imbalance all the way up the chain to the neck. It depends on how quickly the arch dysfunction is detected and corrected.

The fact of having a dominant side muscularly means that there will be a resulting imbalance in strength, usage, and strain to the opposite weaker non-dominant side. The severity of the imbalance will depend on the extent of strain massage hangzhou, physical fitness, and lifestyle.
