The anterior tilt of the pelvis is used to describe the relative position of the pelvis. If we look at the pelvis from the side, we can feel that the position with bony protrusions in front is the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (Anterior Superior Iliac Spine). The Posterior Superior Iliac Spine at the bone should be on the same level. If the posterior superior iliac spine is higher than the anterior superior iliac spine, it means that the pelvis is tilted forward. Conversely, if the anterior superior iliac spine is higher than the posterior superior iliac spine, it means that the pelvis has a posterior tilt problem. Generally, there are 4 main causes of pelvic anterior tilt. Big reason:

1. Sedentary

When sitting for a long time without relaxing the tense muscles, lower cross syndrome may form, causing the hip flexors (Hip Flexor) to be too tight, involving the pelvis to tilt forward.

2. Often wear high heels

When wearing high heels, the center of gravity of the whole person will be different, the pelvis will tilt forward and the buttocks will tilt back. In order to balance the body so that we can walk normally, the lumbar spine must bend more than usual to maintain balance, so in addition to the pelvis The problem of leaning forward is sometimes accompanied by the problem of low back pain.

3. After pregnancy

During pregnancy, the belly gradually becomes heavier and heavier, and the pelvis will involuntarily tilt forward. The core and abdominal muscles will help maintain the position of the pelvis and spine. When they are weak, the pelvis is prone to anterior tilt due to the relationship between the bone structure. Separation of the rectus abdominis often occurs after childbirth, making it more prone to pelvic anterior tilt.

4. Poor standing posture

If you are used to protruding your stomach forward when standing, if you don’t need to use force to stand lazy, it is easy to make your pelvis lean forward. Over time, your body will maintain this posture.
