118. Should we worry about anterior pelvic tilt? With Raphael Bender

TLDR: No. But stick around for the science so you know why.

Resources mentioned in the episode:

• Pelvises are not symmetrical (cool pictures!) here
• We’re crap at palpating lumbo-pelvic landmarks here
• Visual assessment of posture is unreliable here
• Hip stiffness and range of motion don’t correlate with pelvic tilt here
• Abdominal muscle performance is not related to pelvic tilt here
• Abdominal strengthening doesn’t change pelvic tilt here
• No evidence we can change pelvic tilt with any form of exercise here
• 80% of pain-free adults have “anterior pelvic tilt” here
• Anterior pelvic tilt is associated with LESS back pain here
• Leg length difference is present in 40-70% of the pain-free population here
• Only 15% of US adults meet the ACSM physical activity guidelines here
• Do strength training 2x/week and reduce your chance of dying in the next ten years by 46% here
