Leg length discrepancy (LLD) can cause skeletal misalignment, leading to various health issues. Performing self-corrective exercises daily can improve leg length differences, protect the pelvis, and prevent lower back and knee pain.

The prevalence of LLD in the population ranges from 40 percent to 70 percent. A difference between the legs of two centimeters (0.78 inches) or more is considered significant and requires active treatment.
