Pelvic tilt

Pelvic tilt is the orientation of the pelvis in respect to the thighbones and the rest of the body. The pelvis can tilt towards the front, back, or either side of the body.

Anterior pelvic tilt and posterior pelvic tilt are very common abnormalities in regard to the orientation of the pelvis.

Anterior Pelvic Tilt (APT): Treatment focuses on strengthening the glutes, core, and lower back muscles while stretching the hip flexors. Exercises such as glute bridges, planks, and hip thrusts help restore alignment and counteract muscle imbalances.[unreliable source?]

Posterior Pelvic Tilt (PPT): For PPT, strengthening the lower back and hip extensors is crucial, along with stretching the hip flexors and abdominal muscles. Exercises like back extensions and glute bridges are often recommended for restoring neutral pelvic alignment.

Lateral Pelvic Tilt (LPT): LPT treatment involves addressing the root cause, such as scoliosis or leg length discrepancies. Balancing exercises for the hips and improving spinal posture, along with orthotics, may help correct imbalances.
