Has someone told you that you have an anteriorpelvic tilt? Or have you noticed it yourself? Maybe you’re confused between the pelvic tilts? Dr. Jen & Dr. Dom dive into the differences between the anterior and posterior pelvic tilt while honing in on the idea that structure does NOT necessarily correlate with your pain or symptoms through research. With awareness as a focal point, they describe the importance of noticing changes in your tendencies when you stand, sit, change positions, or move, especially in the sagittal plane for starters. Then, they explain the intricacies between the pelvic-ribcage-breath synergy and debunk pelvic tilt tendencies with hamstring or “core” tightness. Using principles of research surrounding pelvic tilts and chronic low back pain, Dr. Jen & Dr. Dom explore how you can explore proprioception, range of motion, and speed within the pelvic area to find a more optimal position and a neurologically safe position for your body. Let’s dive in!
