The Impact of Anterior Pelvic Tilt on Health

Anterior pelvic tilt, also known as lower cross syndrome, affects a large percentage of the population and can lead to lower back pain, spinal pressure, and chronic discomfort. The condition is caused by tight hip flexors and weak glutes and can be addressed through exercises that strengthen the glutes and lengthen the hip flexors. Yoga hip openers, such as the couch stretch and the child's pose, can help lengthen the hip flexors. Glute strengthening exercises like glute bridges, squats, lunges, and the Foundation Training program by Dr. Eric Goodman can help strengthen the glutes and alleviate the symptoms of anterior pelvic tilt.
