Steps to Fix Anterior Pelvic Tilt.
Anterior Pelvic Tilt in most cases is caused by overuse & tightness of the hip flexors.
But what is anterior pelvic tilt?
In some cases when an individual trains, their pelvis moves forward which puts their lower back in a huge lumbar lordosis. This is what is meant by anterior pelvic tilt. This term can occur is multiple exericses such as Squats, Glute Bridges and many more.
Long term, this won’t be good for your lower back region, posture as well as your performance during training.
So in order to fix your Anterior pelvic tilt, you need to first address your tight hip flexors by following these steps.
- Hip Flexor Stretch.
Make sure you took your hips under without overextending your lower back. Here you will directly stretch the hip flexor.
- Banded Glute Activation
Here, you want to maintain a neutral spine, again not pushing too much into extension. Refer to the pictures to check your technique. - Maintain a tight brace to keep core stabilised throughout your movement. This will help ensure you don’t fall forward & push further into anterior pelvic tilt as you progress through your exercise.
- Get Mobile. Get your body moving much as you can, try to resist sitting down for long periods at one time to prevent putting more pressure on the hip flexors.
