 MEANINGS AND DEFINITION
 Pelvis: Greek word; Basin….bowl
Formed by; Ilium, Pubis ,Ischium,
Sacrum and Coccyx.
o Tilt: Slope,incline,lean,bend.
o PELVIC TILT:-
Pelvic tilt is an anteroposterior
motion of the pelvis around an imaginary axis in the
frontal plane.
 TYPES
 It is of 3 types; Anterior pelvic tilt
Posterior pelvic tilt
Lateral pelvic tilt
 ANTERIOR PELVIC TILT:-
ASIS moves
anteroinferiorly , front of pelvis drops,back of pelvis
rises.
Muscles work; Hip flexors Shorten
Spinal extensors Shorten
Hip extensors Lengthen
Straight abdominal muscles Lengthen
 POSTERIOR PELVIC TILT
 ASIS moves posteriorly,front of pelvis rises, back of pelvis
drops.
 Muscle work;

Hip flexors Lengthen

Spinal extensors Lengthen
Hip extensors Shorten
Straight abdominal muscle Shorten
 LATERAL PELVIC TILT
 Lateral pelvic tilt describes tilting in both directions
and is associated with scoliosis or people who have
legs of different length. It can also happen when
one leg is bent while the other remains straight, in
that case the bent side's hip can follow the femur as
knee lowers towards the ground.
 Left pelvic tilt ;is when the right side of the
pelvis is elevated higher than the left side.
 Right pelvic tilt ;is when the left side of the
pelvis is elevated higher than the right side.

 POSTURAL RE-EDUCATION THROUGH
PELVIC TILT
o Voluntary control of pelvic tilt teaches the patient
to recognize any deviation from normal and trains
him to be able to adjust.
o Pelvic tilt exercises introduce you to proper pelvis
positioning, and then may encourage you to
maintain the tilt while moving your legs. Unilateral
balancing exercises help you establish a proper
pelvic tilt while balancing on one foot.
o Crook lying; Gluteal and abdominal contraction
o Low wing sitting; Pelvis tilting and adjustment
o Low wing standing; Pelvis tilting and adjustment
