A physiotherapist looks for patterns of repetitive behaviors in a person's life, such as sitting a lot, which can cause muscle imbalances and joint immobilization in some people. This can cause apparent leg discrepancies.

Explanation:

Physiotherapists have clinical tests that they can use to determine whether or not you have an apparent leg length difference or a true leg length difference. The big thing that we look for in that is that lots of the activities of daily living that we do are very repetitive. So, for a lot of people, they sit in their job, they come home, they sit to watch TV, they sit to read. So, they do a lot of sitting during the day, and that starts to get muscle imbalances.
