Why would the muscles on one side of the spine be more developed than the other side?

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer, but a physical therapist told me this is true of me. The muscles on the right side of my spine are more developed. I have a mild (approx. 12 degree Cobb angle) dextroscoliosis (bends to the right like a backwards C) of the cervical spine and levoscoliosis (bends to the left like a C) of the superior thoracic spine. One spine/pain MD told me the two might be related.

Do very young children and teenagers have the same percentage of muscle weight?
No, because when your a kid your muscles aren't fully developed as they would when your a teenager.
The back muscles normally support the spine in the position discuss what would happen if the muscles on one side were taken?
Not much, but if you take away too many you could die.
What would happened if our skull and spine were movable?
If the parts of the skull were not fixed the brain would have much less protection. The spine is partially movable, or we wouldn't be able to bend. If it were fully articulated we would need much stronger muscles to keep us upright.
What is the distinguish between involuntary muscle cardiac muscle skeletal muscle and voluntary muscle?
Cardiac muscles are involuntary. Cardiac muscles are what makes the heart pump. Cardiac muscles are only in your heart. If those muscles were voluntary, organisms would most likely die. Skeletal muscles are voluntary. You can move any part of your body freely with these muscles, unless you are paralized in which your skeletal muscles are damaged, the nerve cells from those muscles to the spine are damaged, or the spine itself is damaged. Skeletal muscles are found in all of the body. In an average person, skeletal muscles make up 40% of body weight. So:: Cardiac muscles are INVOLUNTATY Skeletal muscles are VOLUNTARY
How can massage be beneficial to scoliosis?

Why would you have knots in your spine?
If you are talking about feeling bumps as you run your fingers down the spine, what you are feeling are a normal part of the structure of the spinal vertebra called the spinous process... Your spine consists of the vertebral bodies that are the main weight-bearing part of the spine, with a pointed "arch" that makes a tunnel where the spinal cord (the nerves that make your body work (everything from the internal organs to the muscles in you extremities) runs... These "bumps" are the tip of the spinous processes and serve as a place where muscles attach...

Where is the place on a persons back where you can stab and sever the heart and spine at once?
This is not very practical. First the spine is enclosed in heavy bone and wrapped in thick muscles. You would have to be very strong and have a weapon that would not snap/break when penetrating the bone or getting stuck between the vertebrae. Then you would have to have a weapon long enough to reach the heart too. Obviously to do what you ask from the front would require a long blade placed approx 3-4 inches to the left of the center of the chest (unless you want to fight the breast bone too) and pushed in at an angle toward the spine. Even with a katana this will take a lot of strength. From the back the entry would be through the spine but this would also require a lot of strength to puncture the spine and continue toward the heart. The question here is why? If you stab the heart, the person dies - so why the spine too? If you pierce the spine you will paralyze them for life below the point of entry - so why kill them? This is not very practical.
