As Mel once noted:
 
"Since no such thing as a universally correct or ideal  "balance" has ever 
been established, we cannot know what "normal" is for any  given individual 
at different stages in his/her development as an  athlete.

In other words, we still have great functionality and do not  experience 
the much vaunted injury profiles that people with these sort of  "imbalances" 
are alleged to suffer. . If we remain so "functional" without  experiencing 
injury, then why should we be in need of adjustments, which,  incidentally, 
may impair existing neuromuscular patterns and lead to injury. I  certainly 
would not take that risk with any well-functioning athlete with whom I  may 
work, despite what I might see in some force plate, EMG, high speed video or 
 isokinetic analysis."
