We are creatures of habit in more ways that one. When we do a lot of something, our body will get better at doing that, for better or for worse.
Do too much right handed actions. You body will get better at supporting the right side, sometimes at the expense of the left. This creates movement patterns and fascial support patterns. If continued, without opposing action or exercise, it creates a pattern of dysfunction.
We can use these patterns to determine what is creating the problem.
A body will easily move further into a dysfunctional pattern than out of it.
Find the movement they can do and what they can't. The action of moving into a pattern is what is causing the problem.
ie, R lumbar stiff. Cant sidebend Left. Can sidebend right.
Question to patient. " what are you doing that puts you into this Right sidebent position?"
Hint: ask about how they curl up on the couch😆.
