what if you have a posterior r ilium and anterior l ilial rotation
And this simple Mr.Miyagi Practices are going to fix the problem?
Very nice video! I first saw your videos today and I find them very well explained. I have a question for you. I have the opposite problem of what is shown in the video, meaning that I have a tendency towards a pronounced hip flexion and anterior pelvic tilt with a hyperlordosis while I’m squatting, which leads to a diminished knee flexion. The weird thing is that I have tight piriformis, harmstrings and extremely tight adductors. How is that possible? It seems like I have to force myself into a posterior pelvic tilt to achieve proper form, how is that possible? By the way, not sure if you already made a video on this issue, but I see a lot of people squatting with excessive hip flexion (probably due to over-activation of the erector spinae amongst many other things) but if not, I think it would be a good idea! Thank you I’ll keep watching your videos.
I’m a trainer
I learned all my advanced knowledge to Brookbush Institute
Oh god… when i see Knee squaters my knees hurt. But that modification with the heel rise it was suppose to fix it.
These are hip thrusts, NOT pelvic tilts. A true pelvic tilt should not engage the glutes. It should engage the core only.
Instructions for determining the presence or absence of an anterior tilt are too vague to be of much help.
Thank you so much for this! I was having difficulty remembering which muscles are tight vs weak and visualizing this concept! Do you have one for posterior pelvic tilt?!
How long will it take me to fix it, if I do exercise daily related to APT
These guys are like pen and teller but about health and talk more
@phuckthis1234
Stupid doctors. I went to about a million and only a handful were helpful/ truly knowledgeable.
Hi Brent
Thanks for the video. The scientific explanation of the posterior pelvic tilt problem is appreciated. However, isn’t there a combination of exercises to fix this problem? How about a video on these specific exercises?
Thanks again
Just tuck your chin so much you cant look up. Problem solved����
The part what I missed is midspine stretch. Thank you for this video
We are the most famous physical therapists
Athleanx: and I am a joke ����
I 100% have intpelvic tilt. Everyone say that it looks like my back is a bowl… its something I struggle with and often cant work for long periods of time it just hurts.. since seeing your video about it I have started your method but I’m afraid I have a excessive case. Is there anything els I can do???
Sooo misleading! nothing about APT! and yes many amny people have it!
i feel like i’m working my thighs more. am i doing something wrong?
This was actually really helpful. I’ve had back pains due to contracted glutes because of heavy lifting and some recent bad sleeping positions worsened it to the point where you wake up to extreme lower back pain and a lengthy 1 hour massage has only reduced the symptoms to half hour. This video gives insight to exactly the problems I’m facing which is all the problems associated with an interior pelvic
So if someone actually has an anterior tilt… what happens? You guys didn’t help us at all…
That’s good info will try for sure been having lower back pains for years.
Since being fused at L4-L5-S1, i have a Anterior pelvic tilt of a couple of degrees, ( measured on xrays etc) and can feel it more in my position when riding my bike, i have had to tilt my seat down at the front to try and compensate and to lessen the pain this was causing.
Question B2: How is the Piriformis overactive in a posterior pelvic tilt? From my experience, I’ve seen the piriformis pull clients into an anterior pelvic tilt.
Does it have to do with it fighting to neutralize the internal rotation caused by the Adductor Magnus?
I was slightly chubby and had a belly, and adopted the posterior pelvic tilt as a means of hiding my belly bump
Yo this set of movements really targeted the way I was feeling about my lower back. Having competed as a wrestler and now sitting for long periods of time during lock down, I began feeling weird, this man is legit
In how many days I can see change if I do exercises to fix this?
I actually got an x ray about a year ago that showed I had it and was supposed to go to PT to fix it thought this could substitute it.. nope
okay but how do you actually fix an anterior pelvic tilt? There’s nothing about it in the video, y’all talking about something completely different here
Thank you! The belt visual was beautiful And confirms I’ve had this my whole life I remember my mom looking at how I had my skirt and was perplexed because that didn’t seem normal And as time went on and I’ve had physical therapy because of pain This is another part of my issue I have scoliosis in the thoracic lower cervical part of my spine And with a pelvic Tilt I have a bunch of stuff going on No medication needed I have a high pain tolerance from what people told me But if I stub my toe that thing hurts lol But thank you for these visuals and these exercises I am conscious of my posture and I do like my knees unconsciously and this is a ongoing effort -But I appreciate everything you do all your advice and knowledge thank you thank you thank you
This just started hurting me this week I found out it was a pelvic tilt when my mom said I had a big ass
Hey Brent, I’ve heard some other DPTs (Aaron Horschig for example) state that shortness of the hamstrings have nothing to do with a posterior pelvic tilt, due to the fact the hamstrings shorten with knee flexion in a squat, so the hamstrings don’t actually change length… They say it’s caused by the femoral head reaching its maximal hip flexion range. What are thoughts on this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thz_I1Bg5n8&t=305s
Here’s Aaron Horschig’s video on “butt wink”…
anterior pelvic tilt in one side or pelvis rotation, anterior innominate rotation, outflare pelvis, inflare pelvis,lateral pelvic tilt, donwnslip iluim sacroiliac dysfunction,upslip iluim sacroiliac dysfuntion, SI joint……
Self-treatment in a month.
WTH… I don’t stand like a camel amd I’ve got APT��.
You should name the video “how to correct posture” if you want to deny APT with the posture.
can a person have butt wink and anterior pelvic tilt at same time
I have it and it really affects my lower back during training
does this make u shorter becuase the lumber spine is more curved in then it should be??
This 100% works. I’m currently 18 and have been doing these stretches/exercise for 1 month now and the results are insane. I used to have a big ass and my lower back always used to hurt like crazy. I started doing these on 11/24/19 and at the beginning it was hard. I barley could do a plank or stretch and I thought I was just born like this. After I realized that this was fixable, I set out on a mission. I did so much research on how I could fix my serious apt and here’s what I did. Just to note. I’ve been doing this for 1 month and my back still needs about 20% more correction so in total it should take around 3-4 months if you’re around me age.
What I did exactly to fix my apt and back pain:
Sleep on your back with 2 pillows under your knees
Always used to sleep on my stomach but this is NOT good for you and only makes it worst. It’s really hard at first but the more you do it the more it will become natural and keeps your pelvis at a neutral state. And this will completely fix your lower back pain.
Stretch & Strength
Bought a foam roller and rolled out my thighs and lower back and really would recommend this if you want to feel the stretches and burn more. Watched this video and I didn’t feel like this was enough so I went online and found this http://posturedirect.com/fix-anterior-pelvic-tilt/. And I literally did this exact workout plan from start to finish everyday and fixed my back 80%. This video is good but if you want to really feel like you’re making a change then follow that page and do exactly what’s in it including the foam roller and I also made sure to fix my posture when sitting down. By that I mean every time you sit down always make sure to tilt your pelvis forward and sitting on your butt bones. This helps a lot.
Posture
Another thing I did as a side bonus was correct my tongue posture. I know you’re probably like what but seriously trust me. If you search up “correct tongue posture/mewing” the information given to you will explain what I mean. Helps you breath better and helped my preform more efficiently. It’s not required but it’s helps a lot and would definitely recommend.
Results
At 18 I knew this wasn’t normal. At first I had major apt and couldn’t do anything and always had major back pain. Thought I was born with a black girl booty and thought it wasn’t fixable. Could barley stand still without losing my balance and couldn’t do a single plank without it hurting like crazy. After doing all of this for one month. I no longer have back pain I can hold a plank now for a very LONG time. I can preform all the stretches easily and my pelvis is rotating back in to place. Also I feel a bit taller too, but trust me though do some research and do everything in your power to fix it and stay consistent too. I know it’s hard to stay patience but it’s all worth it I promise. I now get mad if I miss a day and that’s a good thing.
Also don’t expect to see results in like 1 week, your age and how long you’ve had apt for will determine how fast you see results so use me as reference
Am I the only one, or do they remind anyone else of Ernie and Bert from Sesame Street?
what about the hip flexors (moslt psoas), erector spine, internal rotators,or the vastus group.
would those need strengthening or maybe not the hip flexors if Sitting all day.
Looking at the form in the video it looks like the back needs to be arched when bending over in the start position in order to get the stretch. Is this correct?
what hack?? you talk about poserior tilt and title it as enterior tilt.. vow wanna confuse your viewers
Thank you for covering this!
Unfortunately, I see a lot of clowns in the comments. Some people seriously need this information.
Hi B & B,
Thank you for this and your countless other excellent information sharing and caring. God bless both your families, loved ones and both of you ��
Learning to unlock your knees and tightening your glutes whilst extending your torso is not trivial, tips on gradually learning to stand correctly will be greatly appreciated.
I would like to suggest that both of you do videos on hip flexor muscle imbalances so that people understand which muscles are tight/loose and which are too strong, so that people do the right exercise otherwise the consequences can be counter productive.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Afzaal
you gonna break this guy back if you keep putting him as an example haha
Jeff Cavalier from Athleanx has done a few videos on this. He says it’s fairly common.
Are the external pelvic tilts (increasing lordosis) dangerous? I used to do pelvic tilt that way
When I lay on my belly and do posterior and anterior pelvic tilts my lower back hurts…?
I’m thinking that this is the most accurate video which describes me right now. But I’m not too sure. I would love to book an appointment with you to see what is actually going on with me but I live in Australia… is there any way I can do my own tests and then give you the results? Like a biomechanical analysis? Is it possible for you to do this?
Hi, this is a great exercise. However, I realized that my left leg is lacking stability. I feel jittery in my knees and ankle, making me not able to squeeze the left glute. Are there some tips on how to fix this stability issue?
I really thought I got �� the whole time �� gonna do this lol I need to fix this
Please if you have any more exercises can you make the video I have big problem like this.
