pelvic Tilt

So, your trainer/physio just told you you have an anterior


pelvic tilt that needs to be corrected
because it’s bad.
OMG. You’re doomed! Right? Or… Maybe not?
Is an anterior pelvic tilt actually bad?
And posterior tilt good?

IMPORTANCE OF PELVIC TILT
• Pelvic tilting exercises in the sagittal plane are generally
used to correct the alignment of the lumbar spine of
patients with chronic lower back pain (LBP).
• Anterior pelvic tilting strengthens lumbar lordosis
whereas posterior pelvic tilting has the opposite effect.
• Posterior pelvic tilting exercises are often utilized as a
rehabilitation exercise.
• It might be effective to train the transversus
abdominis in the patient with excessive lumbar lordosis,
and the multifidus in decreased lumbar lordosis
