When it comes to musculoskeletal problems, medical diagnoses are often big fat guesses, especially given that little to no physical examination is typically done before issuing a diagnosis.

I had a client once with painful toe joints. They'd been like this for decades and had been told it was arthritis. I examined the toes and it definitely didn't feel like arthritis. What I could see was that multiple metatarsal heads were dropped. This often happens when there's imbalance between the flexors and extensors. I tested the flexors and they tested very inhibited. Something was keeping them from firing normally. I went to one of my go to spots for this -- an adhesion between the toe extensors and the extensor retinacula. I freed that up and the toe flexors turned right on and fired normally. The client got up and walked around and their foot felt better for the first time in 30-40 years.

When the pelvis rotates in the sagittal plane, the position of the acetabulum (hip socket) changes as well. Thus, when various restrictions, imbalances, and compensation patterns are holding part of the pelvis in an anterior or posterior tilt, the functional length of that leg will change too. An anterior tilt, for instance, will make that side leg functionally longer, pitching your weight to the opposite side. When you think you have one leg that's longer than the other, or someone tells you so... this is usually the sort of thing that's happening.
