Tim Pawlenty Is Trying To Revive His Campaign Using Minnesota’s Budget Headaches. Does He Get Headaches As Well?

Does Tim Pawlenty's posture give him headaches?

Tim Pawlenty has chimed in on Minnesota’s budget woes, hoping to get some of the spotlight and ignite his presidential 2012 run.  If you did not know this, he was the governor of Minnesota for two terms and was involved with similar budget standoffs and was not afraid to shut down the state’s government.  This is a huge headache for the people in the state’s government.

Upon looking at Mr. Pawlenty’s other posture (body style, not political), I noticed a number of traits that can surely cause headaches, neck pain, back pain, knee pain and give him a poor standing posture. Notice on the left photo in the collage his right arch falls in, and both sides flare out, which will make his shoulders roll forward, something seen in all photos.

He is likely quite inflexible based on his body style (people with feet that flare out have flexibility issues due to inefficient body mechanics), and also probably suffers from left hip pain.  This is because his structure will cause his right hip to tighten up and his left side will strain, causing pain.  He will also likely have a heavy heel strike, because this type of asymmetry will torque the pelvis and his legs will be tight.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets left-sided knee pain because with he understrides on the right, he will overstride on the opposite side which will result in tightening of the left quadraceps affecting the kneecap and the left hip flexors. Ultimately, he may even have disc problems from this type of posture. Shoulder blade pain and neck tension with headaches is certainly within the realm of possibilitys as well.

I bet his mother was always on him for slouching, however, this type of body style will actually cause you to slouch naturally, as well see in all his photos.

Eventually, I would love to speak with Mr. Pawlenty, if he is so inclined and find out if my analysis is correct. This is of course, following the many clues in the public domain photos I have been able to find.

Good luck on your presidential aspirations for 2012.

President Obama has the weight on his shoulders with our economy and our Afghanistan troop withdrawl. What else makes his shoulders heavy?

What else is weighing down the presidents shoulders?

President Obama is quite busy fulfilling his promises of a withdrawal from Afghanistan. Of course, the economy has been weighing him down lately as well. This stress, combined with some body style issues is enough to make his back ache too.

There are quite a few photos of President Obama standing so we can see his full posture, and do less guessing.  Notice in all photos, his left foot appears to fall in and the right foot turns out.  If you look at his right knee, that turns in and his right shoulder rolls forward.  I know that the president loves basketball.  Mr. President, have you ever had that Basketball game that your outside shot or your foul shot is always off?  Your body style may be the reason.

The president likely drops his right hip as he walks which will tighten the muscle in his right hip and cause periodic pain in his left lower back and shoulder-blade.  My guess is that, based on what I see here, he has low arches in his feet and requires foot orthotics (he likely has them, after all, he is the President and likely as the best medical advisers as well).  He also likely gets left shoulder-blade tightness periodically and probably attributes this to stress (most people mistakenly do).

Eventually, I would love to speak with President Obama, if he is so inclined and find out if my analysis is correct.

Good luck on your reelection run, your Afghan troop withdrawal management and your efforts to stabilize our economy; you’ll need it!

Good luck on your presidential run, you’ll need it!

Michelle Bachman Wins Iowa Republican Straw poll . From the looks of how she stands, could there be other pains staking out in her neck and back too.

Michelle Bachman is painstakingly creating her presidential run for 2012.

Michelle Bachman just won the republican straw poll in Iowa. She has been shown to be a great fundraiser and is now the front runner for her party.  Even though she has been known to suffer from migraines, her political headaches have only just begun, which I suspect will aggravate her physical headaches too . From her stance (the physical, rather than the political, there are other pains she must be experiencing as well

Reviewing a large number of her photos, her right shoulder rolls forward, although she does not have horrible posture.  Typically, if the shoulder rolls forward, it usually means that the foot turns out which is revealed in the middle picture.

Conclusions: Typically, someone with this type of postural asymmetry on the right side would from time to time experience left shoulder pain and left hip pain because the right side of the hip would tighten and the left side would strain, causing hip pain.  There is no obvious head tilt in the photos so I doubt she gets headaches.  She is also not horribly asymmetrical so I would say that if she does experience these types of symptoms, it is likely infrequent.

Eventually, I would love to speak with Michelle Bachman, if she is so inclined and find out if my analysis is correct.

Good luck on your presidential run, you’ll need it!

Vice President Biden Takes On The Back Breaking Task of Debt Reduction. Is This The Only Thing Making His Back Ache?

Vice President Joe Biden has the back-breaking task of Debt Reduction.

With congressional leaders, all working on their compromise position regarding debt reduction, and the idea of raising the debt ceiling, Vice President Biden has the back-breaking task of helping to create the compromise that makes this happen by the August 2011 deadline.  Looking at the Vice president, who incidentally, has pretty good posture, I do notice a few things that can create other pains in the back.

Notice in all his photos, his right shoulder turns forward and down.  Typically, this means that his right foot turns out and judging from the middle picture, this would confirm this (looking at his knee on the right, you can extrapolate that he has right foot flare.  Typically, people who have this are likely to get periodic lower back problems because of the asymmetry and the way it affects the myofascia surrounding the pelvis and lower back regions.  When this occurs, his neck and upper back is likely stiff as well.

Conclusions:  Overall, the Vice president has a moderate asymmetry which means the likelihood of lower back issues is small (more asymmetry, more problems) and he has likely noticed a loss of flexibility with age.  I would also bet he occasionally feels tightness on his left shoulder-blade extending into his neck, a common cause of the typical headache, however, I do not see any head tilt in the photos, or of others I have seen on the internet.  He probably rarely if ever gets headaches.

Eventually, I would love to speak with Vice President Biden, if he is so inclined and find out if my analysis is correct.

Good Luck Vice President Biden on your quest to achieve agreement on the debt problem between the political parties by the deadline in August.  I hope your back holds up (:

Anthony Weiner had a tough week. His back has to be killing him. Find out why here.

Anthony Weiner is not only in political pain, his back is killing him too

Anthony Weiner had a tough week. He got busted because he had some fun on twitter and unfortunately, it was with women outside his marriage.  Lets look a little bit closer. If you notice, his right shoulder in each photo hangs forward and down.  Typically, this means his right foot turns out which will cause his hip to drop on that side.  Since this will tighten his core muscles (mid back section) unevenly, he is likely experiencing torquing of the pelvis which creates left hip pain, possible left groin tightness  due to compensation (no relationship to the twitter photo in question of this area) and his left shoulder-blade is likely killing him.

There is also a great probability that he has flat feet (typically, the more the feet turn out and the arches fall in, the more rounded the shoulders become which is seen in all photos).

I would love to interview him personally and see if I have it right.  Based on his body style, I am likely right about most of this.
