Is It Possible To Correct Uneven Muscle Situation That Occurred Due To Chin Up Exercising ?
When I was 15 years old, I used to do chin up exercises but I did them wrongly and ended up building up the left side of my body. As a result, I think this uneven muscle structure seems to have manifested in form of scoliosis on my back. I also feel discomfort around my neck and back. The neck aspect is worse. Please is it possible to correct this uneven muscle situation if I apply the use of chin ups and with the help of a gym instructor?

Chin ups would not have changed the structure of your chest or spine. They would not have caused a scoliosis. You may have a scoliosis or a chest wall deformity accountable for your asymmetry. They are not caused by anything you have done to yourself but simply they way you were programmed to develop as you grew. I am assuming you are now an adult and so the asymmetry you are seeing is unlikely to change either spontaneously or by you exercising or body building.
