Advise on posterior pelvic tilt.

dashcamdanny

I have started seeing a physio in relation to back and knee problems . I see him in the Orthopedic hospital every month.

He has diagnosed my problem to be on of posture and core stability . My spine over arches. He has told me it is correctable, but it will not be easy and I have to start at the very start.

I have been asked to practice tilting my pelvis without using my upper abdominal muscles or legs. And knee drops from the same position. Again only using my stability muscles .

I have been trying this twice daily for the last week. I cant get it. Its really frustrating as its step one.

I can get my lower transversus abdominis muscles to fire, but not independently.

I have to work my whole abdominal muscle to get any life below my belly button.

Any suggestions? I really dont want to go back and have made no progress in reconnecting this set of muscles to my brain....

Is it posterior or anterior ?

A posterior tilt tends to reduce the curvature of the lumbar lordosis

posterior. I think reducing the curvature is his aim.
